History:
The cave is dedicated to God bahiri the god of

How to reach Dhak Bahiri Fort:
By Road: Base Village for Dhak Bahiri Fort is Wadhap,Sandshi , Jambhivali.
From the village of Wadhap :
From
Karjat one should aboard the S.T. bus for the village of Wadhap. We have to
cross a rivulet, and a way leads straight to the fort. There is a temple on the
fort. To the left of the temple is the way, which leads us to the ridge between
the fort and the pinnacle.
From the village of Sandshi :
From
Karjat, S.T. buses ply regularly to Sandshi. Its better to board the bus in the
early morning as the midday sun heats the rocks. From here, a guide is
required, as the way proceeds through dense vegetation and is quite confusing.
After a walk of 2 hours we reach the ridge between the pinnacle on the left and
the mountain of Dhak on the right. Way through the ridge leads to the cave of
Bahiri. There are rock-hewn steps, and following them is a rope, bound to a
bamboo. Here we have to climb safely. Above the cave is the wall of mountain on
which the fort of Dhak is situated.
From the village of Jambhivali:
Kamshet to Jambhivali: From Kamshet, find an
MSRTC bus heading to Jambhivali, the base village for the Dhak Bahiri trek.
