Tikona Fort:  The fort of Tikona is named so because of its peculiar shape, it looks like a Triangle or a 'Trikon' as a triangle is called in Marathi. The forts of Lohagad - Visapur - Tung - Tikona formed a quadrangle and helped keep a Hawk Eye on the entire Lonavala region. The fort of Tikona offers one a magnificent view of the Pawana Dam and the surrounding region and is easy to ascend.
