TUNG FORT TREK | Kathingad | Monsoon Trek | Forts of Sahyadri | Maval | Pune | Maharashtra Tourism

Tung fort is also named Kathingad fort. It is about 12 km from Malavli railway station and can also be approached from Lonavala. Tung Fort has an elevation of 1075 m above sea level. The fort is conical and has steep climbs with a very narrow route on the edge of the mountain throughout. From Lonavala, one can reach the base village Tungwadi around 20 km via Bushy Dam-INS Shivaji-Peth Shahapur-Tungwadi.
Tung Fort was built before 1600 CE. It was built by the Adil Shahi dynasty but was captured by Chatrapati shivaji maharaj. It is a small fort, and able to hold not more than 200 troops at a time. As such, it would not have been able to defend itself on its own for a long time. Its shape and structure suggest that its main function was as a watchtower overlooking Maval region of the Pawana and Mulshi valleys guarding the road to Pune city. During invasion, it served to provide a temporary distraction for invaders. Thus, the major forts of Visapur and Lohagad would have time to prepare themselves to meet the invading army.
It’s a bliss to visit this fort in monsoon and experience the heaven on earth.
