Stored distance is 0.98 km. The chart axis follows the DEM sample (1 km), not the published line length.

Ingested from OpenStreetMap relation 11855335 (ODbL). The mapped line is that geometry. Distance, ascent, descent, and high/low points are the evidence-sheet figures (adjudicated 2026-09-21). Name is the OSM relation name (Tikona Fort); no tag=* shield. Member ways are untagged for sac_scale; SAC stays ungraded.

OSM 2D length is 0.98 km (OSM line, ODbL, relation 11855335, lastVerified 2026-09-21). Provisional — OSM line, no cited itinerary. ⚠ Partial — OSM line is summit paths only; the trailhead is missing from the relation. ⚠ secondary: Vedaksh Villa — 2.5 km one-way (5 km round-trip) (https://www.vedakshvilla.com/post/tikona-fort-lonavala-trekking-travel-guide, accessed 2026-09-21). ~2.5 km one-way (5 km round-trip).

High 1,009 m is Copernicus GLO-30 (lastVerified 2026-09-21), verified on the walked OSM line. Low 822 m is the same DEM resample, verified. Ascent 244 m / descent 161 m remain provisional DEM. ⚠ secondary: Vedaksh Villa — 1070 m (https://www.vedakshvilla.com/post/tikona-fort-lonavala-trekking-travel-guide, accessed 2026-09-21). about 1,070 meters. Fort summit elevation is a landmark, never this trail high point.
