Trek to Alang & Madan on 10th and 11th of December 2011
Dear OffBeaters ,
We invite you to an overnight trek to Alang and Madan on 10th and 11th of December 2011, starting on 9th Night.
Trivia
Height : Alang- 4500ft; Madan- 4900 ft above msl
Grade : Difficult (Technical)
Base Village : Ambewadi
As Britishers destroyed the stairs to these forts, scaling theses forts have become the biggest challenge since then. Alang enjoys a 70 ft straight rock patch graded the most difficult as compared to the other forts while Madan bears a 40 ft rock patch comparatively easier.
Besides the thrill in ascending the forts they also provide mesmerizing view of the surrounding area. Back waters of the Bhandardara Dam, Ghatghar Dam, Ratnagad, Kulang, Kalsubai, Aunda patta Bitangad, Ajoba.... are few to mention.

Best is to buy carry mat, its cheap and provides excellent insulation from ground. If you have body warmer suit then shawl should be fine. If not then better get a finely woven rug.
