Khandale village is the base village for the trek. There is a motorable road that goes through the Khandale village.
Just ahead of the motorable road, a dirt road begins, through the fields and forest. 
You have to take this dirt road until you reach to a flight of stone stairs. The climb starts from these stone stairs. During monsoon season a stream of water flows down these stairs. On the way to the fort A small diversion on the right that would take you to the Dhondona falls where you can Enjoy Waterfalls and have memorable pics, or continues your climb through the stone steps towards the Siddheswar Temple.
During this climb you get different views of Waterfalls and you would like to click of every view.
Siddheswar Temple and Ashram is the midpoint of the trek. This temple is quite a well known temple dedicated to Lord Shiva where people from the nearby villages come for offering their prayers. Rest for sometime at the temple and experience the peaceful surroundings. There is also a small water stream behind the temple. This stream later connects with the Dhondona waterfall.
From the top if you look down you will see land covered by Extreme dense Forest.

The trail towards the Sagargad Fort is just before the temple towards the left. Very soon, you will reach the Sagargad village.
Before the village you get to another small and beautiful waterfall which has its own pond and you can Enjoy swimming here.
This is the best place to have your lunch, we did the same here.
The trail to the village is a combination of gentle climb and plain path. Towards the right of the village school, there is a dirt track that will lead to the forest. Follow the trail through the jungle till the Sagargad Fort is visible to you.

There is a Shiva temple at the top of the fort. The Shiva temple has a few relics, Nandi idol, Shiv Ling and a Ganpati Idol. On the left of the temple there is a water tank. The water tank is also called Gaumukh as it is shaped on the form of a cow’s mouth. The view from the fort top is quite rewarding.
