Catalog entry

- Mountain hiking. Continuous trail, some steep ground, sure-footedness helpful.
- YDS Class 1
- Class 1. Walking on an established path; low fall risk.
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 three pins only, not a walking profile, and remain provisional.
Hiking relations 18560168 / 15551943 / 18560162 were deleted from OSM (HTTP 410) and were not ingested. Pins: Khireshwar (10720685415) → Harishchandragad Fort (6832109365) → Kokankada (9197143308, Konkan Kada viewpoint). The stored 5.3 km is pin-to-pin schematic. osmRelationId is unset. Never graduate without a connected OSM hiking relation.
Pachnai (10720685411) is an alternate trailhead, not this pin line (Khireshwar and Pachnai are alternative starts, not sequential). Junnar Darwaza is OSM path way 864984586, not a named node, and was not used as a pin.
High 1,349 m is Copernicus GLO-30 at fort node 6832109365 (lastVerified 2026-09-19). Wikipedia cites 1,422 m (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Harishchandragad, accessed 2026-09-19, CC BY-SA) as the summit landmark, not this figure. Low 692 m is Copernicus GLO-30 at the Khireshwar pin (lastVerified 2026-09-19); the source notes listed 1,349 m for both high and low because class was summit-node. Ascent 670 m / descent 156 m are pin-sample DEM on the 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.
