Elevation
7068329581.06 km profile length (DEM sample)

Stored distance is 1.1 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (1.06 km), not the published line length.

Curated schematic from named OpenStreetMap nodes (ODbL). The line is pin-to-pin, not a surveyed walking path. 2-D length is labelled schematic — not walking distance. Do not treat it as an itinerary kilometre. Ascent and descent are Copernicus GLO-30 samples at those two pins only, not a walking profile, and remain provisional.

Hiking relations 11843597 / 15551600 / 15551599 were deleted from OSM (HTTP 410) and were not ingested. Pins: Harshewadi (13717809990) → Harihar Fort peak (6020591125, sheet pin). Approach way 1527837505 (OSM name=hiking path) is not a named node and was not used as a pin — schematics do not stitch ways. Fort node 9183679549 is not this summit pin. The stored 1.1 km is pin-to-pin schematic. osmRelationId is unset. Never graduate without a connected OSM hiking relation.

High 951 m is Copernicus GLO-30 at peak node 6020591125 (lastVerified 2026-09-19). Wikipedia cites 1,120 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harihar_fort, accessed 2026-09-19, CC BY-SA) as the summit landmark, not this figure. Low 706 m is Copernicus GLO-30 at the Harshewadi pin (lastVerified 2026-09-19); the source notes listed 951 m for both high and low because class was pin. Ascent 252 m / descent 0 m are pin-sample DEM on the one-way schematic, not a walking profile.

Permit is Unverified (not sourced from OSM or an official tariff; source notes 2026-09-19). Confirm officially before travel. Maharashtra hill forts are widely described as ASI/free; do not assert a permit. Season is unknown. Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points.
