About Tikona Fort Trek:
Tikona is a hill fort near Lonavala, about 55 km from Pune, named for its triangular shape and also known locally as Vitandgad. The summit stands at around 3,500 ft and the guided trek covers about 2 to 3 km. It is rated moderate. The route climbs steadily from the base village through steps and rock cuts to the fort gate, where you find caves, a temple and water tanks. From the top you can see Pawna Lake and the forts of Lohagad and Visapur on a clear day. The package is a one-day trip from Pune. Pickup points include the FC Road main gate near Starbucks at 5:00 AM, Bremen Chowk in Aundh at 5:15 AM and the Wakad-Hinjewadi flyover at 5:30 AM. The group drives to the base, starts the climb with a trek leader at about 6:30 AM and spends time at the fort before the descent. After a meal, the bus returns to Pune by around 7:00 PM. Because the route is short and the base is close to Pune, Tikona is a good first fort for people who are new to trekking. The climb is steady rather than technical, but the steps are uneven, and the open slopes are warm by late morning. In the monsoon the rock can be slippery and the top is
