Tikona Fort
तिकोना किल्ला
A Maratha hill fort on a triangular-shaped mountain. The climb takes about an hour, and from the top you get a panoramic view of Pawna Lake.
Tikona is named for the mountain's triangular, pyramid-like shape (its name means 'triangle'). At about 1070 m, it guards the Pavana valley and was held by Shivaji in the 17th century. From the foot village of Tikona Peth, it takes about an hour to reach the top, passing a gateway, water tanks and a small shrine. The final section consists of steep steps cut into the rock face. From the summit you can view Pawna Lake, Lohagad and Visapur. Entry is free, and it pairs well with camping at Pawna Lake.
