No. Not required.

No. It's remote area and as per my knowledge it's not allowed for night tracking

It's easy fort , within 3hrs ascend and descend both can do

There are lot of snack options en route the fort. Bhajias and Sweet corn were available in abundance. We had wonderful lunch at Tikona Picnic which is close by. There would be few more options available in nearby viallges.

Let us first look at the statistics. Tikona trek reaches the height at 3600 feet and i can see Mahuli trek reaching the height at 2815 feet (courtesy Google). Which is approx 28% more. But please do not worry. Being a heart patient myself and at the age of 49 years and 5 months if i could do it, I believe You can as well. I was a beginner too. There are only two steep climbs of approximately 50 meters each which are steps made of irregular sized stones. One can take adequate rest of 10/15 minutes after each of them and carry on. Normal time taken by healthy people is 3.00 hours to and back from the fort. We had a group of ten and took our own sweet time to cover this in 4.00 hours. Coupe of suggestions though, please go with a group who can motivate You. Have a good breakfast and carry adequate water. Be ready to be blown away by the breathtaking views all along and from the top of the fort. All the Very Best!!!

There are lot shared six seat autos and private jeeps available from Kamshet.

we carried our own food for the fort. on the way though just at the turn for hadshi temple there is a nice place for tea snacks and maybe even lunch. we took pakoda and tea which was good.

yes it can. dont litter the place please. the beauty of this place is less crowd and nuisance. also carry water and food you need.
