How to reach
The fort is accessible in all seasons except the rainy season. The fort is located on the Igatpuri-Bhandardara-Sangamner road. There are two trek routes starting from village Guhire. A narrow path behind the Hanuman temple leads to the fort. The trek route passes through dense jungle and shrubs of Strobilanthes callosus (Karvi).[1] It takes about three hours to reach the fort. The trek route passes through three plateaus and the final scarp to reach the top of the fort.
