Tung Fort

The fortification rises at 1075 meters above sea level, featuring stone walls, ancient structures, and observation points across the Pavana reservoir.

Built during the Adilshahi dynasty in 1600, Tung Fort became part of 23 forts surrendered to the Mughals through the Treaty of Purandar in 1665.

The fort complex includes temples dedicated to Hanuman, Ganesh, and Tungi Mata, representing the spiritual connection between military architecture and religious practices.

The ascent to the fort starts from Ghusalkhamb village, requiring a 1.5-kilometer trek through marked paths accessible from September through March.

The fortress maintains a strategic position offering clear views of neighboring forts including Lohagad, Visapur, Tikona, and Korigad across the Maval region.
