Alang fort :
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
Kulang fort :
Being
in the same region of the three forts the climb to Kulang is the
most difficult. On the way up climbing we come across patches of rock
cut steps. It take 6 hours to reach from Kulanwadi to the fort. On the
fort we can see around 5 water cisterns. Form here we could also see Mahuli
with the 3 pinacles. One can also stay at the caves here.
Madan fort :
The time taken to reach here is roughly 3-4 hours after leaving Kulung fort. Over
here rock climbing would be required as the wall of the steps was
destroyed during the cannon fire. Use of a fixed rope is required. There
is one large cave on this fort and 2 water cistern. The top of the fort
is a huge plateau. On the fort, there are two caves, a small temple and
11 water cisterns. Remnants of buildings are spread over the fort.
Kalasubai, Aundh Fort, Patta and Bitangad are to the east of the fort,
Harihar, Trymbakgad and Anjaneri to its north and
Harishchandragad,Aajobagad, Khutta (pinnacle), Ratangad and Katrabai to its south.
