Kulang gad

Location Standing in the front yard of Igatpuri bus stand, the attractive sierra - dominated by this very fort in the east - is a sight to enjoy! Offering the highest climb from the base village in the entire Sahyadri ranges, this fort offers one of the greatest panorama from its top. Igatpuri, being the main station after theThal ghat, can be approached either by rail or road. Catch the 1st bus (at about 8.30 am) for village Bhavli, and then walk for
about 2 hours to the base village Kurung wadi. Take some rest and then get ready for a really wonderful 3 hours trek then on.
Precaution Kurung wadi is the last place for getting potable water till you reach the top, so get your bottles filled with water in Kurung wadi itself. Take some rest, for here on you will have to cover a fairly steep climb for about 3 hours at least! Just when
your feet start talking, you get to see some wonderfully carved steps in the rock....with a steep wall of rock on one side and a deep valley on the other side! This patch has to covered with enough care, for by this time you are very tired and might just lose your concentration.So be careful! During the trek like this just rmember one thing.Nothing is dangerous if you take enough care!.
