Tikona, Hill fort in Maval region, Maharashtra, India.

The triangular-shaped fort stands at 3,500 feet elevation near Kamshet, featuring multiple entrance gates and ancient water storage systems within its walls.

The fort was captured by Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj in 1657, becoming a strategic control point for the entire Pawana Mawal region during his reign.

The Trimbakeshwar Mahadev temple within the fort complex remains an important religious structure, accompanied by several Buddhist-era caves and structures.

Visitors can reach the fort by taking transportation to Tikona Peth village from Kamshet railway station, followed by a one-hour trek to the summit.

The fort contains seven water tanks and offers clear views of Pawna Dam, along with neighboring fortifications of Tung, Lohagad, and Visapur.
