A M K Panorama Region : Igatpuri, Nashik Base village : Kulangwadi / Ambevadi Best season to visit :October to February Difficulty rating : Very difficult     New Day, New Dreams with new challenges. View of Kulsubai peak from Kulangwadi.      Alang, (view from Madan Top)     Madan (40 ft.. climbing patch with white mark)     Kulang       Entrance of Kulang with cave. Required 4 hrs. to reach Kulang from Kulangwadi     Way towards Kulang is challenging, tough & good stamina required.     Huge plateau of Kulang.     View from Kulang Top     Water is available in reservoirs in all seasons.     Going towards Alang, after descending from Kulang. All are very much tried.     At 4 pm we were @ climbing point of Alang. There are two patches for climb. 1st is medium & above that 2nd patch of 50 ft. rock climbing after crossing this steps.     1st patch Pulling sacks over the patch   2nd patch. 50 ft. rock patch @ Alang, totally vertical     Our lead climber Dhawal, trying free climb (This Alang patch is one of the toughest climbing patch in Sahyadri)     This is most challenging rock climbing     No more supports and bolts on this patch for easier ascent   ( Next Day Photo) After climbing of 50 ft. patch, this dangerous & risky step welcomes you. Lot of care and precaution required to cross these steps, Exposure to deep valley     We started climbing @ 5.30 pm (Low light) after spending 4 hr. we were at Alang cave (9.30 PM)       Sunrise view from Alang top. You can see the back water of Bhandardara     View from Alang     Another view     There are two caves on the fort for staying and 11 water cisterns        Descending from same way via rappelling       Route map of Madan. After Alang, Madan is our next target On the way towards Madan from khind, you can see wonderfully carved steps in the rock   1st risky patch of Madan, there is nothing to hold     A steep wall of rock on one side and a deep valley on the other side!       2nd 40 ft. rock climbing patch of Madan, which is easier than Alang patch but expose to deep valley     There are plenty supports and bolts on this patch.     Zigzag shape Staircase towards top of Madan, after crossing of two risky patches     Steps on the way towards top with Alang view on Left     Kulang view from Madan top     Only two water tanks from which water would be available only till February     One can stay on the fort in the cave, which can accommodate around 15-20 trekkers..   .
