Geography & terrain
Tung Fort lies in the Pune district of Maharashtra at about 1,075 m, 60 km from Pune and 10 km from Malavli — the egg-shaped fort of the region, its 17th-century-era walls, the gates and the views set on the Sahyadri ridge.
History & culture
The fort's story runs with the 17th-century era — the egg-shaped fort of the 17th-century-era walls and the 17th-century-era Maratha life of the Shivaji era, with the fort's modern role as the trek stop of the Pune circuit and the home of the 17th-century-era walls and the gateways and the 2000s-era trails; the fort's history of the 19th-century decline and the monsoon green, gives Tung its egg character.
