The path starting from the Someshwar temple also joins this route later. To start from the bastion on fort Mulher, take the uphill path on the right while facing the temple of Bhadangnath. On climbing a few steps in this direction one can see below the route going towards Moragad. About half an hour's time is sufficient to reach Moragad from this spot. There are three garrisons on the way to the fort-top.

Places of Interest

While walking towards the fort-top there is a cave near to the second garrison. The top of the fort can almost be called a plateau. There are a couple of cisterns and a beautifully built reservoir. Remains of some residential buildings have stood the test of time. Apart from this there is nothing interesting to be seen on the fort. However, one can have a bird's eye-view of the Mulher plateau as well as the fortified spur, fort Hargad, Mangi-Tungi, Nhavigad, Tambolya and Hanuman Tekdi.
