Trek to Harihar Fort on 24th March 2013

Dear OffBeaters ,

We invite you to an adventure trek to Harihar fort on 24th of March 2013, starting on 23rd Night.

Trivia
Type : Hill Fort
Height : 3500 ft above msl
Region : Tryambak – Nasik
Grade : Medium - Easy
Base Village : Nirgudpada

The most fascinating aspect about this trek is the rock cut steps at an 80 degree vertical angle that one has to negotiate to enter the fort. Though it’s a vertical ladder, the steps are provided with groves for proper grip while ascending. Ascending and descending through this patch is a thrilling experience.

Harihar is a triangular massif guarded by shear falling cliffs on all three sides. After entering the fort one reaches on a plateau which holds a small lake beside which there is Hanuman idol located, on other end there is a small temple without any idol. There are several water tanks on the way to this temple which offers potable water.

On the highest point on the fort a pole has been mounted for flag hosting.

Harihar offers breath taking view of the surrounding area. One can observe forts life Basgad, Utwad, Bramhagiri, Nagfani etc. from here.
