At Nane Ghat the inscription, the steps, the rock-cut rest houses, and the cisterns show that as far back as the 1st century B.C., this route was frequently used. Even now , it carries heavy trade traffic of local tribal people.

It has a prominent isolated pillar, about 60 m high, known as Vanar Lingi (Monkey's Point) OR Khada Parsi. It commands an excellent view across the Nane Ghat. It has Caves, cisterns and Mohammedan construction on the top.

Chawand (1065 m): It is conical in shape and a prominent landmark. The deep narrow precipice near the summit is an interesting rock climbing proposition. On the top is a small shrine of Local Tribal Peoples and the hill is considered sacred in the region.
