I got your email address on Pune Trekkers web site. We are planning to visit Torna Fort on Friday 7th Nov 2014 ( it is full moon day) Is it safe to climb at evening / night ? esp if you are 1st timer ? can we stay on top overnight ? is food and water available on top ?
Hello Pravin,
It is safe to climb during the evening time. But for first timers, I would not recommend that. First timers should go to easier forts at first and then try the hard ones gradually. Never jump into something that you are not confident of.
Night trekking it is a bit risky as crawling creatures like scorpions or snakes are active.
Trek takes around 3 1/2 hours, so ensure that you start at around 3pm, so that you can reach to the top before its very dark. Evening time is preferred rather than trekking in complete darkness. Since Torna trek is huge, there are chances that you might get lost in the dark.
Yes, you can stay on top overnight. There is a temple if you do not have tents. Although water is available on the fort, is not drinkable... Food is not available, so take some packed food along with you..
