Journey

Alang Madan Kulang is a challenging trek that can be difficult to navigate. It also makes it difficult to choose where to begin and end the trek. There are many villages and bases from which to start the walk. You can also combine different end and start points! You don’t often have the opportunity to choose where you want to start or end your trek. We chose the tried-and-true method to start and finish the hike. This is our preferred option because you can see all three forts from the start of the hike. This side of the route is more green and passes through farmland.

Alang Fort

The Alang Fort, also known as Alangad in the Indian state of Maharashtra is a fort. It is one of three Western Ghats forts, the others being Mandangad or Kulang. These forts are difficult to reach in the Nasik district. Because of the dense forest cover, these excursions can be difficult. These three forts were neglected due to frequent high rainfalls and the difficult, unmarked road to them.

Madan Fort

The ascent between Madan (or Alang) is preferred. It could take between 3-4 hours to reach the step from the Kulang fort. Because the step wall was shattered by the cannon fire, rock climbing is necessary. You must use a fixed rope. Two water cisterns are located in this fort, along with a large cave. The summit of the fort is a large plateau. The fort has 11 water cisterns and two caverns. There is also a small temple. The fort is littered with building remnants. The fort is located to the north, east, and south of Kalasubai. To the east are Aundh Fort and Patta; to the east are Harihar and Trimbakgad and Anjaneri. To the east Harishchandragad and Aajobagad.

Kulang Fort

Kulig is the most difficult ascent, as it lies in the same region as the three forts. As we climb up, there are some rock-cut steps. It takes six hours to reach the fort from Kulanwadi. The fort has five water cisterns. From here, you can also see Mahuli and the three pinnacles. You can also stay in these caves.
