  • Padargad is an worth visiting. It gave us a great confidence over our limitations. Approach is a jungle path next to the well. Its about 20 mints. Watch for white arrows marked over trees and boulders. As soon the jungle is over we climbed a steep scree and entered CHIMNEY of 10 Ft. From CHIMNEY top , move ahead five steps ahead right and we climbed 15 ft steep rock patch . Then its a simple right traverse for 5 mnts and we came to first abandoned cave. from left of the cave climb the tree in the gully and step on the first rock cut 43 stepps. We entered the fort top. walk towards the dyke. we located four water cisterns 2 on left 2 on right and some ruins, probably some temple. move ahead from the left of first dyke and enter the plane land between first and second dyke. BE CAREFUL HERE. You must locate a small 4 feet gully-can be located easily in the grass. cross over and you are just below the second dyke. from left of the second dyke walk along the wall and Here is your Bedroom of 15Ft long and 8ft wide . The view is amazing. speechless!-hemant 9850062164. 24th Nov. 2013. Happy Trekking. IMP-water is available at the corner of the first dyke-between first and second dyke. Water is only available upto January second week.
