Absolutely beautiful place in monsoon,just look at my pics and video. Note : Steep climbing, can be difficult to some people. Took 40mins for us to climb. Avoid this trek on hot sunny day. Recommending to climb tikona fort first which is nearby, then do tung fort on same day, easily doable in one day. Tikona climb : 40mins Descend: 30mins Tikona to tung drive : 60mins Note2: Both forts totally accessible for bikes coming from pune, good roads all the way. Also you all can keep your helmets and languages at eaterys at mountain foot at both places. Parking charges and entry fee 50/-

Tung, the watch tower. I went there just after the Diwali holidays in Nov. Not a single person except us was there then. Fortunately we carried food and water with us. You don't need much either as the trek was not long and moderately difficult. We went fairly early in the morning so we didn't feel the sun's rage. Not a big fort. But the view from the top is excellent. Can see other forts like Tikona in the East, Lohagad and Visapur in North beyond the backwaters of Pawana dam, Korigad in the West. Many more might be visible but I don't know them. From Pune you can go through the Mumbai Expressway or the old Mumbai Pune Highway, on both you have to pay a toll. Or you can go via Pirangut, Hadshi. The road is good, the scenery is good, no toll. Will take a few minutes extra though. Have fun trekking.

A good weekend getaway trek for beginners. Will give proper trek experience as trails are not man made, you need to do bit of basic mountaineering which will be thrilling for new trekkers and even kids above 10 years. You will find several eating spots within 2km. Go and have fun. Happy Trekking

80 km's from Pune, so you have to leave early. But, it is completely worth the early morning travel. The fort is amazing nature and view of Sahyadri. It's trekking track is awesome and best for trek.

Children to be accompanied by parents or under supervision view steep climb and small pathway. Two small restaurants at base with basic food. No water / stall available in top. Time required to climb for a average person with break is 1.5 hrs and 45 min to descend. if you start before 0900 hrs , climb will be in shadow zone.

Tung Fort (किल्ले तुंग / कठीणगड) is about an hours' drive from Lonavala. Good to trek for beginners who want a bit challenging trek. The fort is perfectly positioned adjacent Pawna lake and Aamby Valley and gives a great view a top ,Best tracking place after that night stay at 69 Diamond Vally.

A Short and steep Hill trek, Rural Countryside, Standing tall at over 3500 feet from mean sea level gives you a Magestic 360 degree view of mountains and forts around Pauna Lake. We have visited this place in October and mesmerized with beautiful view from top. Track was straight with straight climbing. This is a moderate hard track for the beginners and will surely have satisfaction after trekking. We have used local guide as we were travelling from Gujarat and we're not familiar with route
