Unveiling the Secrets of the Tung Fort Trek | Monsoon Hikes in Pune You Won't Believe!

Tung Fort (किल्ले तुंग) or Kathingad is located in the Sahyadri Range of Maharashtra and makes for a fantastic hike, especially during the monsoon!
The fort was a lookout fort for other larger forts and was meant to accommodate only about 200 soldiers. It was built by the Ahmed Shahi dynasty and was also later conquered by the Maratha rulers. Finally British took over the fort and destroyed much of it, especially the access to the fort.
I went to the fort with three of my friends and had an blast! We went on a Monday and the place was completely empty - just us and nature. Indeed an exceptional experience.
The best way to reach here is in your own car which you can park at parking lot the base near the Hanuman temple. It took us about an 1.5 hours to walk all the way up but we did walk slow as I was also taking pictures and making the video.
Here's the starting point of the trek: goo.gl/maps/eS...
Hope you enjoy this video :)

Total time required??

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

Depends on the hiker and the season - between 1.5 to 3 hours in my opinion 🙌

[@naushad5921]

I'm going there tomorrow and this is very insightful. Thank you. I hope to trek alongside one day.

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

That’s wonderful and have fun (I’m going on a trek this Sunday too :))! And yes, I’m sure we’ll trek together one day :)

[@DeepDiveinUniverse]

how was your experince is it something doable for first time trecker?

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

@@DeepDiveinUniverse I won’t call it an easy trek, but it’s doable by a first timer, especially if you are fit 👍

[@naushad5921]

​@@DeepDiveinUniverse As Siddhartha said it's doable for a fit person, the last patch to reach top is bit tough and risky as it was really windy due to rain.

[@DeepDiveinUniverse]

@@naushad5921 I am planning to visit it in August. Will try to keep it in mind.

[@ruchitajadhav9678]

can anyone go alone?

[@SiddharthaJoshiFilms]

I guess you can go alone but I would always recommend going with at least one more person. Things can go wrong on a hike and it's important to have some help.
