About Lingana
A free-standing rock spire on the ridge between Raigad and Torna, so sheer that the Marathas used it as a prison, there was simply nowhere for anyone to escape to. Reaching the top is a graded rock climb on fixed ropes, and coming down means a long rappel. It is one of the most coveted technical objectives in the Sahyadris.
What to see and do
- The 300-ft pinnacle climb and rappel
- Old prison chambers cut into the rock
- Views across to Raigad, Torna and Rajgad
- Camping at Singapur Nal

Part of Sahyadri (Western Ghats).
