Its every trekkers dream to at least explore once the A.M.K range, The sheer look of A.M.K gives you the chill in the spine. !!! Alang, Madan and Kulang forts fall in Igatpuri range and can be seen standing tall from miles on Mumbai - Nasik highway. A.M.K range has always petrified most of the Sahyadri trekkers. Climbing Alang and Madan requires climbing skills due to rock patches on the way while Kulang the easiest of the three offers the highest climb of 4822 ft from sea-level and is one of the longest treks in Sahyadris. About Kulang : Not much is known about the history of the fort except that they were captured by Peshwas from Mughals in 1760 and British took over the forts from Peshwas after heavy gun battle in 1818. But the number of water cisterns on the top of the fort some of which are huge and deep along with the cave and darbar like structures do indicate that the fort has played important role in the bygone era.
