Tikona is a small
fort on the backwaters of Pavna dam, near Kamshet. This fort is also
called Vitandgad. It's height is around 3500 ft. and it got Tikona name
because it is somewhat triangular in shape.
Tikona is 40 km from Pune.
Pune-Pirangut-Paud (Tikona is just 20 km from Paud)
A small village with name Tikona Peth is base village of Tikona.
From here the trek starts. You have to park your bikes here.
Its just a 30 mins of walk to the fort.
There are few caves here. It is said that these caves are from Saatvahan era. A water tank is also there. Its water is not potable. Its good to take water with you. From here to reach on Bale-Killa, there are around 60 steps and those are very steep. These steps take you to the top of the fort.
On top, there is a small Trimbakeshwar Mahadev temple. An under ground water tank on top has potable water. The view from top is amazing. At the East, you can see Tung fort. Tung looks very much challenging from this spot. At North, you can see Lohgad-Visapur forts. Pavna dam, its backwater and Paud-Lonavla road passing by it makes the view more memorable.
Enjoy...!
