Trip highlights
- A three-fort traverse — Alang, Madan and Kulang — in a single 2-day expedition
- Madan Fort's near-vertical rock climb, widely considered the toughest section of the three forts
- Technical rock climbing and rappelling sections guided by experienced trek leaders
- A night of camping, bonfire and stargazing between the Madan and Alang summits
- Sunrise views on Day 2 before the climb to Kulang Fort and its historical ruins
Overview
Alang (4,852 ft), Madan (4,900 ft) and Kulang (4,825 ft) form one of the most demanding fort traverses in the Sahyadris, rising from the Kalsubai range near Ambewadi village in Igatpuri taluka. Madan Fort in particular is known for a near-vertical rock climb, while the route between forts involves genuine rock climbing and rappelling rather than just steep walking trails — this is widely regarded as one of Maharashtra's most technical treks.
This 2-day itinerary climbs Madan Fort and Alang Fort on Day 1, camping overnight between the two with a bonfire and stargazing session, before summiting Kulang Fort on Day 2 and returning to Igatpuri. Ropes, harnesses and technical guidance are handled by the trek leaders at each climbing and rappelling section — a good baseline fitness level and a willingness to push through a demanding two days are essential.
