Situated in the Trimbakeshwar range, the Harihar fort offers a unique trekking experience, thanks to the sheer size of it. The way into the fort is a steep climb on a high rock cut staircase!
Built atop the mountain’s triangular massif, the three walls make the fort impossible to be conquered. The only way in is an 80-degrees steep staircase cut out of rocks, making the approach nothing less than a mission!
