About Morgiri
Morgiri: The Lonavla Region's Hidden Watchtower! Nearby Forts (Pune District): Korigad, Ghanagad, Tung, Tikona. Morgiri is lesser-known but likely served as a key watch keeping post due to its location and remnants. Climbing Info: The original steps are ruined. Access is via an installed iron ladder. A rope is recommended for two rock patch areas.
