The One Tree Hill trail in Matheran is perfect for beginners who wish to explore trekking. Here, participants begin their journey with an 8 km uphill climb leading to the summit, which offers a panoramic view. This trail is called One Tree Hill since the summit features only one tree growing in that area.

Tikona Fort (Day Trek)


Difficulty: Moderate
Tikona Fort is one of the most popular tourist spots in Lonavala. This is an exciting trail that should ideally be explored during the monsoon season. The temperature and humidity during summer are quite high and the weather is rather pleasant during the rainy season. The trek starts at a small hamlet named Tikona Peth. Adventurers traverse through the rocky terrain for about one and a half hours to reach the fort, which is situated 3500 ft. above sea level. While the distance between the neighbouring town and the base of the fort is merely 1 km, the ascent is quite challenging. But once you reach the pinnacle, you will be rewarded with a sweeping view of the valleys and the Pawna Dam.
