Grade: Very Easy. A lot can be done in and around the fort.
Notes: Situated on the banks of Manair river, the fort offers pleasing view of the country-side, the water reserve of the manair dam and the depleting small hills around. There is a lot of illegal and legal mining for granite around the area which is levelling off these beautiful hills. Nevertheless, the fort has many passages and routes around. The best though is the teen-minar on the top which is a very beautiful climb. A pradakshina around the lake is pleasant and beautiful. You can take a raft and have fun around the lake. There are a lots of bears residing at the rear of the fort but comes forward in the night. If you want to experience the wild, it should be ok to make a Tree Stand there by bribing the localites. Do carry some crackers then in case of an emergency. You will surely be able to hear some rumbling and if you are lucky, there may be enough light to see the bear - so, it is advisable to go there on full-moon days and stay over-night by crook. Some rocks there have interesting bouldering problems.
The fort is maintained by the state government with the help of the localites. This is a simple trek but the most interesting part of it are the possibilites around the lake - rafting, fishing, bear-watching, rock climbing etc.
