Rest houses at the base of Mahuli.

There are straight roads for short time. Enjoy warm up because later there is a lot of climb.

Arrows are painted white on stiff rocks and pathways, watch and proceed.

This is a small stream one has to cross. It comes from a big waterfall above. This comes in the start of trek.

There are small paths to walk and steep cliffs on the side.

There are lots of cactus above while walking through the ridge.

Ascending is always easy no matter how steep it is. But descent haunts you. There are certain points where one has to climb slippery rocks while water flowing above it.

One can see the road on the top of ridge. One has to trek on that and climb. There are cliffs on both sides.

There are two three mountains and multiple pinnacles on the top. The right side you can see is the Palasgad.

This patch of rock climb is almost perpendicular hence an iron ladder is cemented on the ground and chained at the top.

Once at the top there are flat areas and some ups and downs. Fort is nearby.
