Harihar Fort - An 80 degree elevated trek #BlogchatterA2Z
Imagine going on a trek to a fort which has 200 steps but with an 80 degree elevation . Exciting ! Isn't it ?
This is actually possible if you plan a trek to the Harihar Fort , 40 km from Nashik in Maharashtra.
The Harihar Fort was built during the Yadava dynasty period and was later surrendered to Zamam Khan in 1636 . The fort was built to keep an eye on the trade route through Gonda Ghat.

It is built on an altitude of 3676 ft above sea level . Idols of Lord Hanuman , Nandi and Shiva can be found in the fort along with a small lake .
The fort also has a breathtaking view and many other peaks and forts like Anjaneri , Brahmagiri and Utwad can also be seen from the fort .
The trek may be short but it sure is risky . And by risky I may mean life threatening . Would you take the risk ?
