The nearby Panshan lake and magnificent views from the top makes it a much adored and desired picnic spot.

This 17th century historical fort offers lots of nearby interests along with the bungalow of Lokmanya Tilak where Tilak and great politician of India, Mahatma Gandhi met in 1915.  One can also enjoy the bhaji and dahi wati offered at the top while visiting the Fort.
