At Bamnoli (Base Village) regular motor ferry services are available that take us to Met-Indavali from where we can walk on the western shores of the lake. Proceed along an arm of the Koyna Lake to the west. The route is now thickly forested with no human habitation. Climb through the dense forest by a tricky route to reach the top of the fort.

Situated amidst the evergreen forest of Koyna Wildlife Sanctuary, Vasota Fort offers the best jungle trek experience. The route to the fort from Met Indavali is covered with huge trees and liana that stretch for miles. Dense forests surround the fort and offer a spectacular view of the Koyna River and the Sahyadri mountain range.

The most fascinating point is Babu Kada, which offers a spectacular view of the cliffs of the mountain range falling straight deep into the Konkan area. The mountain in front is known as Old Vasota Fort.

The Vasota Fort trek is considered an easy to moderate trek, making it suitable for beginners with a decent fitness level. The total distance of the trek is around 8 km with an elevation gain of around 1,640 ft. While the initial part of the trail is relatively flat, the later sections involve a gradual climb. There are no technical climbs or challenging patches on the route.
