# 3 Trek to Alang Madan fort on 20th - 21st December 2014 DAY ONE


Alang fort located in the Kalsubai range in Nasik district is considered to be among the most difficult treks that one can embark on in Maharashtra. There are certain patches in the trek route to Alang where your rock climbing skills also will be tested to a great extend!!
Alang, Madan and Kulang are adjoining peaks and the most prominent among them is Kulang. Standing at the edge of the Ghats, it commands a fabulous view all around and tough climb is amply rewarded by a most fascinating sunset.

About:
Alang (4852 ft): The beautiful Alang Fort lies in the Nashik region. Top of the fort is huge plateau. There are two caves on the fort for staying and 11 water cisterns arranged in a Cascade formation & a dilapidated storage room.
Mandan (4841 ft): It is considered to be one of the most difficult forts to climb among all the forts in the Sahyadris. The area of the fort is quite small as compared to Alang and Kulang, its adjoining forts. There are only two water tanks on top of the fort. The area visible from the top of the fort is quite scenic
