Trek to Thrilling Forts “Alang, Madan & Kulang” on 02nd - 4th Oct. 2015 with The Youth Hikers

Trek to Thrilling Forts “Alang, Madan & Kulang” on 02nd - 4th Oct. 2015 with The Youth Hikers

Grade : Thrilling
Height : 4852 - 4841 - 4822ft
Region : Igatpuri - Kalsubai


Hello Friends,

Trek to Alang, Madan & Kulang is always a dream for every trekker so we are here to fulfil that dream at The Youth Hikers. We are inviting you for the thrilling trek to Alang-Madan on 02nd - 4th Oct. 2015.

General information

Alang Fort (also Alangad) is a fort in Nashik district, Maharashtra, India. It is one of the three forts, the others being Madangad and Kulang, in the Kalsubai range of the Western Ghats. They are the most difficult to reach forts in Nasik District. A dense forest cover make these treks difficult. These three forts are a little neglected due to very heavy rains in the area and a difficult confusing path to the forts.
Dense forest, rocky patches and one of the biggest traverse in Sahyadri makes this trek more thrilling and challenging. On top of Alang fort there is huge plateau. There are two caves on the fort and 11 water cisterns. One can get fantastic glimpse of Sahyadri from Alang fort. If you look at east you will find Kalasubai, Aundh Fort, Patta, Bitangad. On the north side - Harihar, Trymbakgad, Anjaneri. On the south side - Harishchandragad, Aajobagad, Khutta (pinnacle), Ratangad, Katrabai can be located.

Madan has got a beautiful set of steps for ascending to top. At some places route is little broken which makes ascending the fort difficult. We have to climb around 40 ft rock patch and negotiate traverse with deadly exposure. The view of the horseshoe shaped Alang from Madan is a beautiful sight.

Trek to Maharashtra's Highest Peak on 04th Jan. 2015 with “The Youth Hikers”(Batch II)

Trek to Maharashtra's Highest Peak on 04th Jan. 2015 with “The Youth Hikers”(Batch II)


Hello Hikers,

We are glad to invite you for Trek to Maharashtra's Highest Peak on 04th Jan. 2015 (Batch II).

General Information:

Kalsubai temple is located at the topmost peak of Sahyadri mountain range of Maharastra. Being on the summit of Kalsubai is like your at the top of Maharashtra. Its dream place for every trekker in Maharashtra especially in Monsoon because of its divine view. The vastly spread out backwaters of Bhandardara attracts ones attention from the top. To the north of the mountain range forts such as Ramsej, Harihargad, Brahmagiri, Anjaneri, Ghargad, Bahula, Tringalwadi, Kavnai can be seen. To the east one can spot Aundha, Vishramgad, Bitangad, to the west Alang, Madangad, Kulang, Ratangad (south west) and to the south Pabargad, Ghanchakkar, Harishchandragad can be seen.

At the summit there is a plain ground with a small temple of Kalsubai, a local deity. The main route to the temple is at small climbing slope . It usually takes three hours to reach the top from Bari. Soon after leaving Bari, a small stream is crossed followed soon after by a Hanuman temple. The route from behind this temple takes the hiker straight to the summit. It's really adventurous trek with breath taking natural views at every step.

Grade: Easy
