Nimgiri_Steps

Dear All,

We @ शिखर वेध have planned yet another trek to Nimgiri – Hanumantgad & Naneghat

Hope 2 cu on trek with me ;-)

Details r as follows
.
Brief Introduction about Nimgiri / Hanumantgad / Naneghat:-

Height:  3450 / 3460 / 2461 feet
Grade:  Easy
Time: ~ Maximum 4 hrs from Khandipada, Base Village
Location: Nagar District

Nimgiri and Hanumantgad have been separated by a cleft. The ascend to the forts starts from the middle of these two. Keep ascending towards the electric tower which is across the ground of the primary school. As we proceed to the upper level of the tower we come across broken patches of farms. To the left side away from the path we can see a beautiful idol and remains of a temple. There is also a water tank here. Back on the path as we proceed ahead we come across many idols and Veerghals and some scriptures carved on stones. While ascending the steps we can see a path going to the left where there is a cave built for watch keeping. As this path is broken we cannot access the cave. This cave is visible from Hanumantgad fort. Besides the devastated fort entrance there is a cave for fort keepers. Start the fort trail from the right. We come across 2 water tanks first of which only one tank has potable water in it. There are 2 more water tanks on the route ahead and a temple of Goddess Gajalakshmi and two water tanks with unclean water in front of it. On the upper side of these tanks as we ascend we can see three shrines. (Info Credit : Trekshitiz)
