The nearest town is [[Chandwad]] which is 69 km from [[Nashik]]. The base village of the fort is Indraiwadi which is 9 km from Chandwad. There are good hotels at Chandwad, now tea and snacks are also available in small hotels at Indraiwadi. The trekking path starts from the hillock south of the Indraiwadi village. The route is very safe and passes through dense scrubs. There is no marked path that leads to the fort. it is advisable to hire a local guide from the village. It takes about two hours to reach the scarp of the fort. a narrow path along the base of the scarp takes a northern detour to reach the rock-cut steps. The steps are 2m wide and 150 in number. It takes about 15 minutes to climb the steps. The entrance gate is nowhere seen. There is plenty of water available on the fort. The night stay on the fort can be made in the caves on the fort.<ref>http://trekshitiz.com/trekshitiz/marathi/Indrai-Trek-I-Alpha.html</ref> | The nearest town is [[Chandwad]] which is 69 km from [[Nashik]].
