  • The fortification is almost zero and an only remains is "deepastambha or Samaee" made out of Jambha stone. No trees or a drop of water in the month of Feb 2010, we visited and made a mistake. Proper time Sept to December. Jungle is fairly dence and is getting over by deforestation, very fast.one can catch hold of Shree Pandurang Shelar, 70 yrs,from Navja as a experienced guide,resides opp to ZP school in Navja,250/-.the trek is 5Hrs from start to finish and without guide, it will be nightmare. your chances of lossing in Jungle is 100%. Good one to have such off beat fortification to the experienced list. Hemant 9850062164 for any help? on this topic.
