This fort can accessed from Khopoli-Khalapur-Pali Road via Jambhulpada. The local people call it as Bhelivcha killa as the village at the foothills is Bheliv. The fort can be accessed via a narrow col and then a beautifully carved steps takes you to the top. The top has 6 water cisterns and remains of settlements. From the col, a path towards right goes to a cave and small steps are carved in rock to access it. It takes about 30-40 minutes to reach the top of the fort. To reach here, one has to take 6 Seater auto from Khopoli to Jambhulpada and then another 6 Seater auto from Jambhulpada. Frequency is very low so better travel by own transport. One can also visit Umbarkhind in a day trip along with Mrugagad.
