Bhairavgad
is
one
of
the
most
thrilling
and
adventurous
trek
in
Sahyadri.
I
went
for
Bhairavgad
trek
with
Ba-Raigad
group
,
this
was
my
solo
experience
with
them
and
I
really
appreciate
the
support
and
patience
of
our
Trek
This
fort
is
consist
of
hang
over
point
and
many
difficult
stiffs
but
all
trek
leads
were
so
friendly
and
they
guided
very
nicely.
This
trek
is
risky
for
beginner
and
average
trekker
but
Ba-Raigad
group
provided
all
safety
equipments
so
we
did
it
easily.
On
descend
we
did
rappelling
and
it
was
wonderful
experience
..
Bhairavgad
is
one
of
the
most
thrilling
treks
in
Malshej
region.
It
was
a
strategic
outpost
to
keep
watch
around
Naneghat-Jivdhan
Trade
and
Kalyan-Junnar
Trade
Route.
To
reach
top
of
Bhairavgad
one
has
pass
through
criss
cross
ridges
and
jungle
path.
Once
you
reach
the
plateau,
we
see
a
small
Bhairavnath
temple
under
huge
tree.
After
making
way
through
Karvi
and
loose
mud
(scree),
one
has
to
climb
rock
cut
steps.
After
climbing
few
steps
towards
top
they
suddenly
seem
to
disappear.
From
there
on
it
is
the
serious
foot
and
palm
rock
climb.
One
should
have
proper
rock
climbing
grear-
helmet-
harness-
ropes-
carabiner.
After
reaching
at
the
top
of
the
dyke
one
can
witness
breath
taking
views
of
Alang,
Madan,
Kulang,
Harishchandragad,
Rohida,
Naneghat,
Jivdhan
peaks
and
plateus.
Climbing
down
is
even
more
challenging.
Rappelling
down
from
the
rock
is
the
best
bet.
Once
one
manages
to
climb
down
the
main
rock
-
dyke,
the
rest
of
the
descent
is
manageble
but
for
a
couple
of
trickey
patches
There
are
no
remains
on
the
fort
summit.
While
going
towards
the
citadel
(dyke)
from
the
summit
we
come
to
the
base
of
the
citadel.
There
is
a
water
tank
here
on
the
upper
side
of
the
path.
To
the
right
of
the
water
tank
there
is
a
crescent
shaped
cave
which
can
be
accessed
only
by
technical
means
of
climbing.
After
circumventing
the
citadel
from
its
east
side
we
come
in
the
cleft
between
Bhairavgad
and
the
adjoining
hill.
Rock
cut
steps
on
the
citadel
can
be
seen
from
here.
After
climbing
about
50
steps
we
come
to
a
rock
cut
cave
which
has
to
be
entered
by
crawling.
This
cave
is
4X2X8
in
size
and
is
closed
by
four
sides.
Only
the
upper
part
at
5
feet
height
has
been
cut
in
a
crescent
shape.
On
one
of
its
wall
there
are
holes
made
to
fix
wooden
rods
for
building
a
shelter.
The
steps
after
the
caves
have
been
devastated
and
the
150
ft
rock
patch
has
to
be
climbed
using
ropes
to
reach
another
set
of
rock
cut
steps
which
has
steep
valley
on
one
side
and
rock
patch
to
the
other.
There
is
a
dried
up
water
tank
to
the
left
here.
Proceed
upwards
by
the
left
route
and
here
is
another
dried
up
water
tank.
A
path
from
here
passes
through
shrubs
and
thorny
cactus
to
the
top
most
point
of
the
fort
which
is
spread
East-West
direction.
Naneghat
to
Harishchandragad
region
can
be
seen
from
the
top.
