Dear readers, I mean dear tourists, today through this article, we will show you a very beautiful and exciting place in Nashik. The name of this place is 'Harihar Fort’. This fort is a 'Giri Fort' meaning a fort that is built on the top of a hill or a mountain. This fort is also known as 'Harshagarh Fort'. The main purpose of the construction of this fort built during the Yadav dynasty was to monitor the merchant route of Gonda Ghat. In present times, this fort is nothing less than a paradise for adventure lovers.

Nashik is a beautiful and religious city in India that combines the beauty of Maharashtra. You will find tourist places near Nashik for all types of tourists visiting from all over India. This tourist place is a historical, mythological, religious, natural, adventure lover spot for arrivals. This place is a divine and natural place in itself. Here you will get to see a hill station, river, waterfall, temple, adventure, and romantic places.

You will find here variety of places but the matter of Harihar Fort located here is different. Harihar Fort is a special location for trekkers. Harihar Fort is located at a distance of 40 km from Nashik. On the way to reach this fort, you will find two villages Harshiwadi and Nirgupad. After reaching here, you have to reach the fort on foot. This fort is built on a high rock about 80-degree rock-cut stairs. Apart from being exciting, this fort is also known for its beauty.

By climbing the top of this fort, you can see the beautiful plaintiffs here. The height of Harihar Fort is 3676 feet. To reach this fort, you have to climb about 117 steps. Being located on a straight cliff, you have to walk about 80 degrees upright. Climbing these stairs can be quite exciting and adventurous for you. But if you are a climber and like to go to such an exciting place then this journey can also be easy for you. Grip made for climbing stairs, you can easily climb the stairs with the help of grip. But while coming down the stairs you may have some difficulty in getting down. Only one person can climb at a time.

According to me, if you have ever climbed the bamboo ladder, this experience may be exactly the same for you. Trekking of Harihar Fort can be a memorable moment for you. You can take many beautiful memories with you from here.

If you are planning to visit here then the winter season will be good for you. By the way, mountains and waterfalls are pleasant during the monsoon itself. But during the monsoon season, the slippage is more. Therefore, you should avoid visiting such exciting places during the monsoon season. You can get a glimpse of the beauty and adventure of this fort through photographs.

Rooms etc. were not built in this fort. But at the top of the fort, you will find a water tank, a room to hold ammo, and a small temple of Hanuman Ji to worship. Whenever you go trekking, be sure to wear good trekking shoes and keep a water bottle and breakfast with you during trekking. Because you can feel thirsty while trekking.
