About: Alang Fort

An Entity of Type: military structure, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Alang Fort (also known as Alangad or Alang) is a fort located in the Kalsubai range of the Western Ghats mountains, Nashik, (Maharashtra, India). Alang Fort, Madangad Fort, Kulang Fort, and the trek connecting them are known as Alang, Madan, and Kulang (AMK). Alang Fort is regarded as one of the most difficult places to reach in the region. As the Maharashtra Culture Government website notes, "Alang-Madan-Kurland is one of Maharashtra's most challenging treks, especially because of its challenging stretches of water and dense forests." This route is suitable for experienced mountaineers. While the forts are difficult to access because of heavy local rains and poorly marked trails, they remain a popular tourist destination.

  • Alang Fort (also known as Alangad or Alang) is a fort located in the Kalsubai range of the Western Ghats mountains, Nashik, (Maharashtra, India). Alang Fort, Madangad Fort, Kulang Fort, and the trek connecting them are known as Alang, Madan, and Kulang (AMK). Alang Fort is regarded as one of the most difficult places to reach in the region.

This route is suitable for experienced mountaineers. While the forts are difficult to access because of heavy local rains and poorly marked trails, they remain a popular tourist destination. The fort is situated on a large natural plateau. Inside the fort are two caves, a small temple, and 11 water cisterns. The two caves can accommodate up to 40 people. Remnants of historic buildings are spread throughout the fort. To the east of the fort lies Kalasubai, Aundh Fort, Patta, and Bitangad; to the north, Harihar, Trymbakgad, and Anjaneri, and to the south, Harishchandragad, Aajobagad, Khutta, and Ratangad. Due to the remote nature of this trek, even experienced climbers are advised to carry sufficient amounts of food and water to sustain the round trip. (en)
