Looking for a trek that actually challenges you and rewards you with incredible views? Tung Fort, also known as Kathingad, is one of the most striking conical hill forts near Lonavala — and it's a must for anyone who loves a good climb.

📍 Location

Tung Fort (Kathingad)

📌 Google Maps link

Easily accessible by private vehicle from both Pune and Mumbai.

⛰️ About the Trek
Standing at 1,075 meters (3,526 ft), Tung Fort takes about 1 to 1.5 hours to trek to the top. The fort is known for its sheer, near-vertical climbs and narrow pathways near the summit.

🥾 Difficulty
Easy to Moderate overall, but the final ascent has steep, narrow steps and exposed sections with no railings — so caution is a must, especially if you're not used to heights.

⏰ Best Time to Visit

  • Monsoon (June–October): lush green surroundings, dramatic clouds
  • Winter (October–February): clear, crisp views of the Sahyadris

🛕 At the Summit
A temple and old water reservoirs await you at the top — a great spot to rest and take in the view before heading back down.

🅿️ Facilities
Local guides and parking are available at the base village of Tungi.

⚠️ Tips

  • Wear proper trekking shoes with good grip
  • Be extra careful on the final stretch — no railings on exposed sections
  • Carry water, especially in winter when there's less shade
