The base village is called as Dhodambe from where one can start to climb the fort.

When travelling from Nashik to Malegaon on highway NH-3, one can see this fort from a distance, from villages Shirwade-Wani, Khadak-Jamb, Vadali-bhoi and Sogras.

The top of the fort was built using a combination of dressed stone and brickwork.

The eastern face shows a fearsome cliff named Ikhara which is ideal for rock climbers.

It's heard by the peoples in the nearby villages that on every Vasubaras, this cow moves inside by the distance of four grains.

During his return from the second raid on Surat (1670 CE), Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj visited this fort, presumably for keeping the treasure.
