The site is an open historical area where visitors can explore the monument and observe the surrounding valley landscape. It is primarily visited for its historical significance and sunset views rather than extensive built structures or recreational facilities.

Shirpamal is historically significant as the location where Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj stayed overnight and was felicitated by the Koli ruler Vikramshah Mukne on December 31, 1664, prior to their joint invasion of Surat. A memorial commemorating this event was erected on May 1, 1995, by Rajaram Mukne, President of the Jawhar Municipal Council.
