The journey begins from Pachchapur Village, from where participants start their guided trek after a detailed safety briefing. The trail takes trekkers through natural surroundings and gradually leads towards Sudhagad Fort, offering scenic valley views and beautiful Sahyadri landscapes along the way.

After reaching the top of Sudhagad, participants get time to explore the fort and its historic surroundings while enjoying panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and mountains. The fort provides excellent opportunities for photography and nature exploration.
