Alang Fort

Alang Fort is a historic hill fort located in the Igatpuri taluka of Nashik district, Maharashtra. Situated within the Kalsubai range of the Western Ghats, it forms part of the Alang-Madan-Kulang fort trio. The fort features ancient rock-cut cisterns, caves, and remnants of fortification walls. It is primarily known as a trekking destination offering panoramic views of the surrounding Sahyadri mountains and valleys.

Visitors can expect a moderate to difficult trek through forested trails leading to ancient fort ruins. The site contains rock-cut water cisterns, cave dwellings, and broken fortification walls. From the summit, trekkers can view the neighboring Madan and Kulang forts along with the Kalsubai peak. The area is largely undeveloped with no commercial facilities on the fort itself.

Alang Fort was strategically important during the Maratha Empire for monitoring trade routes and enemy movements in the Nashik region. It changed hands between Marathas and Mughals before being captured by the British in 1818.
