TMI & Kulang share a very special bonding…
We just love the Fort; the Sunset, the Sunrise, behind highest peak of Maharashtra; Kalsubai and not to forget the mesmerizing view of Alang-Madan range seen atop kulang.
Watching the early sun of the upcoming year 2012 and Witnessing the very fresh day of a brand new year & making up our minds to scale up for new heights in this new year.
Nothing great than seeing the old year off and welcoming the New Year at Mighty Fort Kulang.
