The best time to visit is during the post-monsoon months of September to November and the pre-monsoon months of January to March when the weather is pleasant, and the surroundings are lush and green.
There are no hotels on the fort itself, but you can stay in local huts or campsites set up by local guides. It's essential to carry your camping gear if you plan to stay overnight.
While many trekkers do it independently, it's recommended, especially for first-timers, to hire a local guide who knows the terrain well. This ensures a safer and more enjoyable experience.
Must-visit attractions include the Kedareshwar cave, Konkan Kada (for sunrise and sunset views), Taramati peak, and the historic Harishchandra temple.
Pack essentials like sturdy trekking shoes, warm clothing (as it can get cold at night), a good backpack, sufficient water, energy snacks, a first-aid kit, and camping gear if staying overnight.
Mobile network coverage may be limited or absent on some parts of the trek. It's a good idea to inform someone about your itinerary before starting the trek and carry a power bank for your phone.
