  • Trip introduction

    Head out to explore the mountains and hills of countryside Maharashtra and on this day trek to the popular Tikona Fort and the centuries-old Bedse Caves. You'll begin the trip by climbing on a well-defined and relatively easy trail to reach the Tikona Fort. At the fort, you'll be greeted by sweeping views of the Sahyadri hills, the neighbouring forts of Lohagad and Visapur as well as the vast expanse of Pawna Lake. As you continue trekking, you'll uncover the little-known stupas and monuments of the Buddhist-inspired caves of Bedse.

    This trek to Tikona Fort is perfect for fit beginners as well as experienced trekkers since it requires uphill climbing for only 1-2 hours.

    Destination

    Located at a 1-hr driving distance from Lonavala, the Tikona Fort is perched atop a triangular mountain overlooking the still waters of Pawna Lake. The fort is accessible via a narrow, rock-cut staircase carved to take you to an altitude of 3,500 feet. At the summit, the ruins of a once mighty Tikona Fort consist of large doorways, water cisterns, caves and temples.

    The Bedse Caves are a series of Buddhist monuments and stupas carved from giant boulders. They showcase carvings and sculptures that date as far back as the 1st century BC.
