Stored distance is 4.1 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (3.87 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 15552768 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-21). Name is the OSM relation name (Visapur Fort); no tag=* shield. SAC is OSM-sourced mountain_hiking (T3, ODbL, lastVerified 2026-09-21); YDS is the site cross-walk, still provisional.

OSM 2D length is 4.1 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 15552768, lastVerified 2026-09-21). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. Out-and-back: the published figure is the one-way 4.1 km; round-trip is about 8.2 km in prose only. ⚠ secondary: HikerWolf — 10 km (https://hikerwolf.com/events/trek-to-visapur-fort/, accessed 2026-09-21). over 10 km from Malavali station. Blog/itinerary km is not this figure. The published figure is the evidence-sheet 4.1 km for relation 15552768.

High 1,027 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-21), verified on the walked OSM line. Low 865 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 187 m / descent 30 m remain provisional DEM. ⚠ secondary: HikerWolf — 3556 ft (~1084 m) (https://hikerwolf.com/events/trek-to-visapur-fort/, accessed 2026-09-21). 3556 feet above sea level. Fort summit elevation is a landmark, never this trail high point.

Permit is Unverified (not sourced from OSM or an official tariff; source notes 2026-09-21). Confirm officially before travel. Maharashtra hill forts are widely described as ASI/free; do not assert a permit. Water was not mapped to named WaterSource points.
