Harischandragad fort is quite ancient, considered to be from the medieval period. The Great sage Changdev (one who wrote the epic Tatvasaar), used to meditate here in 14th century. The caves are also from the same period. Harishchandragad was captured by the Marathas in 1747 from the Moguls. This Harishchandragad fort trek from Nalichi Vaat route is the most challenging among the three routes to reach the peak
A hill fort in the Ahmednagar district of Maharashtra, is one of the most challenging treks in the Western Ghats. Situated in the Malshej region of the ghats, it is at a distance of approximately 90 km from Kalyan. This hill fort can be approached from multiple routes. One such route via Nalichi Vaat (which translates to ‘passage through a gorge’) is a channel that lies to the extreme right of the mountain. It is the most difficult path to the top. Popular among climbers and experienced trekkers, Nalichi Vaat involves a near 80 degree climb, involving steep rock patches. The trail begins on a stream bed filled with large man-sized rocks and eventually leads to the foot of the gorge.
In spite of carved-out niches and chiseled slits in the rock, certain sections are very challenging and it is advisable to carry climbing gear. Although one can make a halt at the base village and choose to start early at the dawn, the uphill climb is exhausting and takes away the best part of the day’s light, making it essentially a two-day trek. The overnight camp can be made in the form of pitched-tents on the grassy plains or a shelter in the ancient caves situated all over the fort.
The fort mountain along with Tolar Khind and Malshej Ghat offers a lot for the trekkers. The main attraction here is Konkan Kada
Konkan Kada: The most interesting point on this fort is this cliff, which has always fascinated many people from many years. The cliff faces west and looks down upon the Konkan with a breathtaking view of the surrounding region and sunset. This cliff is not just vertical; it is an overhang, almost like a cobra’s hood.
So plan your trip to Harishchandragad fort, via Nalichi Vaat, to experience the adventurous Harishchandragad trek. Spend your one day outing near Mumbai with Fun and Adventure. Enjoy this Adventure sport near Mumbai.
