Sondai Fort is an excellent starting location for novice hikers. The trek to Sondai Fort takes one and a half hours. It is a short hike. Travelers ought to visit during rainy weather. Sondai Mata's temple is at the peak. Thus, Sondai is the name of the mountain. 

There are some metal stairs to climb at few points. There are few shops. At the starting location, parking is available and costs 50 Rs. At Sondai, camping is possible.
