WALK IN THE WILDERNESS - MONSOON TREK TO TUNG FORT
The charm of the first rains is unmatched with the aroma of the wet earth filling the air and little green leaves/grass peeking out from the earth. The first rains also dispel the heat of summer and bring much needed relief to the parched lands.
Our plan is to head out a relatively less frequented fort of Tung or Kathingad to try and catch the first onslaught of the rains.
The fort of Tung is located at an altitude a little higher than Lonavala and offers one a commanding view of the Backwaters of the Pawna Dam. The easy trek up the fort along with its beautiful location make it and enjoyable hike for Adults and Children​ alike.
Join Canvas N Chrome as we head off into the wilderness not too far away from the Hill station of Lonavala.

-
Wearing full clothes (Track pants + Full sleeve Shirt/Tshirt) is advisable – Prevents cuts & bruises while walking through the forest & also protects from insect bites.
-
Jeans can get uncomfortable on treks & also tend to soak & retain water if it rains; avoid as far as possible
-
Trekking/Sports shoes advisable – Covered feet provide safety from stubbing your toes on rocks, etc and also from insect bite.
-
Extra Floaters/Footwear advisable – Sports shoes tend to open up/tear during treks through rain & having an extra pair of floaters helps.

A sturdy & comfortable haversack/backpack advisable – Helps one balance better, keeps the hands free, & needless to add helps keep all your belongings safe.
-

2 liters of water is compulsory.
Our Belief System:
​
-
Nature along with Fresh Air & Serenity are intoxicating enough to most city dwellers seeking a short sabbatical from the hectic city life; Kindly refrain from consuming Alcohol & other intoxicants while on the trip.
-
If lighting up a smoke is something that one cannot do without; we would request you to ask for permission and move away from the group to reduce passive smoking for the non-smokers.
-
Loud Music from Portable Bluetooth Speakers/Phones does not fit in with our idea of fun on a Trek/Trip. If one cannot do without a dose of music, we strongly recommend the use of headphones.
-
Our Experienced Leaders have the best interests & safety of each guest & the group as a whole in mind. Kindly refrain from questioning the veracity of his/her decisions.
