How to Reach?

As this place is on the way to Ajinkyatara Fort, the options to go to Ajinkyatara are also applicable to this. First is from Rajwada (Palace) to Adalatwada and from there to Char Bhinti. Second is the road opposite to Sai temple in Godoli. It comes straight to Char Bhiti. This is better option if you are bringing heavy vehicle.
