Nashik: The Harihar Fort has been temporarily shut for tourists due to adverse weather conditions and safety risks, as announced by the Forest Department on August 19. Shekhar Sampat Devkar, the Forest Range Officer of Trimbakeshwar, issued the directive, mandating the closure of Harihar Fort, situated within the Trimbakeshwar Forest Range, until further notice.
Copies of the order have been disseminated to the Trimbakeshwar Forester, Forest Guards, the Joint Forest Management Committee, the Kalamurte Gram Panchayat, and other relevant senior officials. The administration's decision stems from concerns over massive tourist crowds and potential safety hazards arising from congestion on the fort's narrow steps, especially during the monsoon season and holidays.
Authorities are urging tourists to abide by the closure order and await further instructions. The Forest Department will provide an official announcement regarding the reopening of Harihar Fort at a later date.
