Hello fellow Trekkers,

If you are not strong and think you can manage this... then you are in for a surprise.

As information given in WIKI

Tung fort is also named Kathingad fort. The word "Kathin" in Marathi means difficult. While climbing, one can experience the difficult challenge of reaching this fort. The fort is conical and has steep climbs with a very narrow route on the edge of the mountain throughout.
