Torna: Torna fort is amongst the tallest forts around Pune. A difficult trek the trek to Torna however is one of the most satisfying treks for a nature lover. A huge fort, Torna has seen many a war and has been in control of many rulers at different times. Though most parts of the Torna fort is in ruins the panoramic view the fort offers is well worth the climb up.

The Torna Trek is a medium difficulty trek but the rewards of the toil is really fulfilling! The narrow tracks on the way up from Velhe the base village of Torna Trek leads to beautiful landscape. After monsoons which is the best season for the Torna trek the entire way would be laden with wild flowers. There are two two rock patches on the way up, a little slippery, not bad during ascending, but the descend would really prove tough. The trek will take 3-4 hrs with stops.
The itinerary for the trek will be as follows:
On 18th July 2014 , Friday Night

Limited seats, entry on first come first served basis.
