• Nearest Railway Station: Kalyan/Badlapur.
• Base Village: Kushivali.
• Routes: From Kalyan side and Badlapur side. The route from Badlapur side is difficult to traverse.
• Average Expenditure: Rs 100.
• Bus Ticket from Kalyan to Kushivali - Rs 20. The buses ply every 15-20 mins and the frequency is quite good. Catch the bus going towards Malanggad.
• Ascend time: 3 to 3.5 hrs from Kushivali and 4-5 hrs from Badlapur side.
• Descend time: 2.5 to 3 hrs.
• Difficulty Level: Easy to Medium.
• Endurance and Stamina Level: High.

• Use good grip trekking shoes/ketoes, wear track pants and full sleeve shirts as the hills are full of wild shrubs.
• The Tavli hill can be trekked from Badlapur side as well; but the route is treacherous and very difficult, no villager is there on this route, hence one can easily lose track of the location and eventually get lost. Hence use this route only if you are a professional trekker with ample trekking experience.

The trail starts from a gate that mentions “entry to the fort” next to a small temple. It is a  jungle trail . 

A  gradual climb throughout  the trek makes the  endurance level high , and one needs to take regular stops in between to enjoy the hike.

At the top is a shivling & a sculpture of Chatrapati Shivaji Maharaj and a famous spot called the Maha Darwaza.
