AMK Trek Overview

Maharashtra is famous for its fort treks. We are now taking you to one of the toughest in Maharashtra. Alang Madan Kulang

Alang, Madan and Kulang forts are three forts perched on high hills. These forts have historically significance as they were constructed by the Shivaji army that had strategic importance due to the view of the surrounding plains from the top. The steps that you see during the trek were mostly cut by them. The trail is challenging as you’ll negotiate steep rocky patches, craggy rock faces and the dense forests of the Sahyadris to discover these ancient forts.

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.

Madan (4841 ft): Madangad is considered to be one of the most difficult forts to climb among all the forts in the Shayadris. Over here rock climbing would be required as the wall of the steps was destroyed during the cannon fire. 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.

Kulang (4825 ft): This fort has the highest climb from base to top in Sahyadri ranges. Out of the trio forts. Only this fort can be climbed without technical help. To reach the top one has to climb rock cut stairs, some which are broken are blown away by the British.

So what is it about this trek that makes it unique and a must of any avid trekker to experience ? . We say It’s difficulty level. The trail to the forts is filled with rocks, boulders and seasonal streams. The long traverse on the ledges at multiple points on the trek is definitely a unique experience. At times you will be trekking for a km with hard rocks on one side and a 1,000-foot drop on the other. This will might make your heart jump constantly.

Why Choose Offbeat Compass ?

Years of experience: We’ve been leading trips around the country since 2014.

Solo / female hikers friendly: Over the years we have noticed a trend in the increasing number of solo and female hikers on our treks. Many of our treks end up having a good amount of solo female hikers

Group size: We’ve come to realize that taking large groups of people compromises on an intimate inter-personal experience. Thus, our treks are led with a fairly small group of trekkers who find it easier to get to know each other over the course of the trip.

No discrimination: At Offbeat, we believe that your age, social class, gender or sexual orientation shouldn’t determine if you’re allowed on a trek or not. Anyone and everyone should feel safe and welcome to experience and explore new places.

Mindfulness to nature: Over the years we’ve seen the places we visit turn filthier and less pristine. We don’t want to contribute to that any further. At a Offbeat Compass experience, we encourage you to reduce your waste and leave the place cleaner than it was. Check out #LeaveNoTrace
