We reached the previous night. The night's halt was organised at the Bhagwati fort. Ratnadurg mountaneering association's three day camp was already underway. On the day of the event, before we set out to the venue (which is about 5 kms from fort) we explored in and around of the ruined Bhagwati fort.
