  • Trek to Harihar Fort

    The trek to Harihar Fort is the perfect weekend adventure in the hills of the Western Ghats. From the base village, you'll begin trekking over a short path overlooking richly coloured, green forests. As you make your way over a gradually ascending path through the Shidi and Ganesh Ghats, you'll be met with stunning monsoon landscapes. Patch of strenuous climbs over large boulders will slow you down, but you'll soon find yourself at the end of this 2-hr trek. Just before you approach the fort, you'll trek over helical rock-cut steps carved at a steep incline of 80 degrees into the mountainside. From atop the fort, you can catch gorgeous views of hills in the Trimbakeshwar mountain range.

    Destination

    The Harihar Fort, located close to Nashik and Igatpuri, is a hill fort built over a small, triangular plateau. Raised above the ground at 3,676 feet, the fort was used to guard a trading route connecting present day Maharashtra and Gujarat. The destination remains popular with trekking enthusiasts, drawn to explore the ruined edifices, water cisterns and walls of the fort. The fort also houses a small temple alongside a pond.
