About Tikona (Vitangad)

Tikona Fort, also renowned as Vitandgad fort, is a major hill fort in the Maval region near the Lonavala. Tikona Fort, literally means triangle fort, had witnessed many dynasties ruled in the Maratha region. This was the nerve center of the many activities of the entire Maval Pawna region. The small hamlet close to the fort is the Tikona path. The fort’s mammoth entrance is a special attraction. The Tikona fort is a great trekking destination for adventurous tourists.

One can get eye-catching views of the Pawna Dam and the forts at Visapur, Tung, and Lohagad. The fort encloses a lake, Satvahan caves, and the temple of ‘Trimbakeshwar Mahadev’. The fort was built during the Sahara dynasty. There is a temple on top of the peak. The view of the Pawna dam, Kathingad, and valleys from the top is breathtaking. The hill is pyramidal in shape and the name Tikona means “triangular”.
