Salher fort ... 2nd Highest peak of Maharashtra


View from Salherwadi Base village
Salher fort, located in Baglan region, Nashik & in fame for its war between Mughal & Maratha. One can go there by State transport from Nashik to Taharabad via Satana bus(But i suggest to reconfirm the bus with timings), which will drop to salherwadi, base village of Salher fort. I will prefer to go by private jeeps with a group of 6 to 8 people as a frequency of the bus is not much.
In the year 2017, I again visited the fort, & have seen a little facility there. A guide is available with a small hotel at a base.
Take any small route & go upward (to right direction of photo)
Trek route start in the South-East direction upward. Many curb routes are meeting at one point, where a small patch of stairs starts. Take this stair route as your clue & go with it. you will see 1 or 2 gates in this route, with a small plateau-like surface with dense trees.

This gate has a small cave beside to it. 

The 2nd gate, after which a small water pond called 'SURYAJI TAKE' 


Another long open area after stairs, leading to other spots

   There is a cave, which can shelter up to 25 people. There are many things on this fort like Suryaji Take, Ganesh Take(it is there on fort, however, i haven't seen it), Havan Kund, Renukadevi Temple, GangaSangar Lake. 

Ganagasagar Lake with Renukadevi Temple beside to it

A Cave, from which has a route to go to Parshuram Temple. 

Renukadevi Temple
Take a route from an upper side of the cave to Parshuram Temple, & enjoy the scenic view of MAHARASHTRA & GUJRAT STATE both. 


View of Maharashtra
 I will especially suggest to go from Salher wadi to enjoy single rock curve view like Kokankada & Plan for either sunrise or sunset.
A small advice to an enthusiast, remember the creature of these forts & their sacrifice.
For any suggestion or help comment below.....
Best of luck...😊😊
