Harihar Fort appears to be rectangular from its base village. It is built on a triangular prism of rock. Its three faces and two edges are vertical at 90 degrees. The third edge towards the west is inclined at an angle of 75 degrees. A one-meter wide rocky staircase with niches in it is carved out for ascending and descending the Hari Har Gad Fort.
There are 117 steps in all. After you climb the first rocky staircase to the main entrance, we walk below an overhang with a sheer drop. Again, one has to climb a set of steep stairs with niches, then pass through a staircase inside the rock-like Peth Fort or Kothaligad Fort, and then reach the top of the Fort. The view from the top is excellent. After climbing these steps, we get up to the entrance door. The Fort Harihar Nashik has got a tapering plateau with a raised level in the middle. There is a small temple of Lord Hanuman and Lord Shiva on the plateau. A small pond is there in front of this temple. Water from this pond can be used for drinking.
Making headway from here, we come across a palace that has two rooms in it. 10 to 12 people can be accommodated in this palace. One of the vertical drops of Fort Harihar facing the Nirgudpada village is called "Scottish Kada", perhaps because it was climbed for the first time in November 1986 by Doug Scott, the legendary Himalayan mountaineer, and it took him two days to do the climb. This cliff is about 170 metres in height. Harihar fort images are available in our photo gallery.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. Are trekking shoes compulsory for Harihar Fort in Nashik?
Yes, trekking shoes provide waterproofing and excellent grip and help you confidently hike. Nashik Harihar fort's difficulty level is high; the steps can be slippery at Harihar fort trek near Nashik during monsoon and post-rainy season. It would be best if you wore hiking shoes for this trek.
Sahyadri forts and mountains differ from the Himalayas, and the rocks on these mountains are highly slippery during rainy seasons. Famous trekking shoes won't work. We have tried all shoe brands, from Indian to Overseas hiking shoe companies, but all fail to provide proper grip. Campus or Action trekking is the first choice for Nashik fort trekkers. You will be seen all of them wearing the same shoes during trekking in the Sahyadris.
2.Best time to visit Harihar fort, Nashik?
During the rainy season and winter, June to February would be the best time to visit Harihar Trek Nashik. During the rainy season, the trekking in Nashik forts are usually banned due to weekend overcrowding, except thousands of tourists along with trekkers on the fort.
In the past, trekkers have been stuck at the Harihar Sahyadri fort for six hours as there were too many tourists on the rock-cut steps path, and it took six hours for thousands of visitors to descend the fort.
We have already listed the Maharashtra Fort treks in our blogs to be avoided during the rainy season due to overcrowding. Local authorities are planning to introduce permits for some Sahyadri Fort treks.
3. What is Nashik to Harihar fort Trimbakeshwar distance?
Nashik to Harihar fort distance by road is 42 kilometers. Harihar Gad Nashik or Harsha gad is a popular and overcrowded trek near Nashik. It will take one hour and fifteen minutes to cover this distance. Harihar Nashik Killa to Trimbakeshwar is 13 kilometers. Brahmagiri Parvat can be combined with Harihar gad Harsha gad trekking.
4. Why is Harihar fort Nashik banned in the rainy season?
Many Harihar fort accidents have taken place during the monsoon season due to overcrowding. To avoid more Harihar fort accidents and keep trekkers safe, the forest department and collector office ban the trek during the monsoon season. Harihar fort Nashik images have been made available in the photo gallery.
The climb up the nearly vertical staircase that leads to the top of the Harihar Sahyadri gad is the most exciting part of the Harihar Sahyadri Killa trek. These tiny stairs were chiselled out of the rocks. As you climb up, the carved-in notches keep your fingers in place.
If you're afraid of heights, keep your gaze forward while climbing. Looking back at the stairs you just climbed is terrifying. The panorama behind you, though, is stunning!
