There are many rock cut water cisterns on the fort. Some of them store potable water throughout the year. There is a natural hole in the mountain top probably caused by wind erosion.

This fort can be visited in any part of the year however the beast season is from October-February when the temperature is cool and the vegetation has not dried up..

The fort is named after Ratnabai Tandal, who has a small temple inside the cave on the fort.
