• Description:
• Dhodap is the second highest fort in Maharashtra after Salher. Dhodap trek is definitely a must do trek for anyone visiting Nasik. The trek is quite challenging in some places, but once you get to the top of the fort, it is all worth it. There are plenty of caves on the fort which are very clean and hence can be used for camping. We would advice that you take some safety gear like ropes along with you. Some of the rock patches are difficult to cross and would require assistance by ropes.
