Sun was above our head, shining brightly. We took some snaps and made our way ahead in the jungle. After half hr of trekking there was a small village there. We refilled water bottles and moved ahead.

Irshalgad Fort

Trekking

Entire trek was easy apart from the last patch. Rope was present for support and ladders were installed to make it easy. On the top there was a needle hole formed due to erosion and air.
