Detailed information

Best Season to Harihar Fort Trek

The best season to visit Harihar fort trek is during Winters, Harihar fort is located in Nashik. Winter is our favorite time to trek Harihar fort as the weather in Nashik is good during winters, nights are cold and the day temperature also is very comfortable to trek. The Winters are cold here while the summers are hot and humid. There's heavy downpour seen during Monsoons sometimes, We wouldn't recommend to trek Harihar during Monsoon as trekking might get risky due to heavy winds and rains. There is also huge footfall of trekkers seen during weekends in Monsoon making it impossible to even walk at times. 

Harihar Fort Trek Experience - What to expect

Harihar fort trek can be done from two villages, one being Nirgudpada and other being Harshewadi. I had started from Nirgudpada, you do have to walk a little more as compared to Harshewadi but the trek is worth. The Adventure starts with you starting your trek through Nirgudpada village. The walk leads you through fields to a patch where the slight incline starts. There's a small patch of forest post which you can get a clear view of the fort if the sky is clear. You can follow the trail to reach a plateau, the trail might be confusing for some, I would recommend going with experienced team of people. Once you have reached the plateau you can clearly see the most exciting part of the trek which is the 80° Steep Steps, as wind blows on your face this view becomes more exciting. I was scared looking at the height of the steps but our trek leader supported me and motivated everyone to walk through fiercely. I could easily pump up some energy and climb the steps, also there are notches carved in that help to keep your fingers while climbing up. Once I reached the last step, I did look behind once which looked scary but at the same time made me feel proud that I had been through one of the most scariest looking steps. Post this you walk through a narrow path carved within a mountain to reach more steps, after climbing these steep rock cut steps you reach the fort. There are multiple statues here including Lord Hanuman, Shiva, and Nandi. There's a Trishul too near the Shivling. There's one pond which has clear and fresh water which is drinkable. There's a room which was earlier used to store food grains at the top, You also can see views of forts like Bhaskargad, Anjaneri fort, Brahmagiri, and Utwad fort when the sky is clear. On the fort there's a highest point which is also known as Balekilla, you need to trek 10-15 mins to reach here, the view from the top is mesmerizing. It is a small plateau and can only accommodate few people. There are lots of flags at the top of this plateau. You can spend good time exploring the fort and the views nearby post which you can start your return journey to the base village via the same route. We had our tummies full with the most delicious food at the base village, rested for a while and started our return journey to Mumbai with loads of Happy memories.

If you need to reschedule your booking to any other available date, it can be done free of cost if the rescheduling request is sent 120 hours prior to the trek. From 0hrs - 120 hours prior to the trek date and time free rescheduling is not permitted. It will be counted as cancellation done in less than 120hours of the event date and time. It's a humble request, please do not give medical reasons, crib, argue or try to blackmail us if you drop out or cancel/reschedule the trek in the last 5 days.
The basis of the cancelation policy is to protect the participant and the organizers from undue financial losses arising out of unforeseen situations. If the event gets canceled due to the medical/personal emergency of the organising team member, the participants will not have to suffer financial loss. Similarly, if there is a medical/personal emergency at the participant's end, the organizing team will not have to suffer financial loss.
