Waking up @ Rodo Valley

One humble request to all the people planning to go to for treks. Please respect nature and remember other people. Never litter these wonderful places. Infact, it will be great, if you can pick up some of the litter (especially the non-bio-degradable) and carry it back. Please abstain from smoking and drinking when you are with nature. Even if you cant help it, atleast carry back cigarette buds and liquor bottles. If couple of us show some responsibility, we can keep these places clean and pristine for the coming generations!!!

What's New?

Trek to Ettina Bhuja was one of my best - thanks to a wonderful group of spirited trekkers and the ideal weather. We started from Shishila @ the banks of Kapila river, camped @ Bhairaveshwara temple in the night, reached the peak and got back to Shishila the next day.

The much awaited trek to Vavul Mala was simply the best. I, along with Josettan ascended the Vavul Mala peak @ 2339m in the Vellarimala ranges all the way from Muthappanpuzha @ abt 450m. Gr8 trek spanning 3 days.

Finally, the night trek to Skandagiri on a full moon night with John. It was not a great trek, especially with the crowd and chaos at the top of the peak and things getting stolen. Neverthless, the moonlight trek was a new experience.

A short trek to Shivaganga, 56kms from Bengaluru, @ 1368m, to take a look at the 'Shiva' temple, 'Olakallu Theertha' and a fabulous view of the entire surroundings.
