Skandagiri, A night trek! And a Delightful experience!

A weekend, Yet another trip and an exhilarating experience. I was all set for a dull and a gloomy weekend. Anisha, my colleague, asked me what I was doing for the weekend. As I dint have a great agenda, I thankfully accepted her invite to go on a Night trek to skandagiri. It was Friday night on 12^th of November 2010. The trip, was quiet tricky as it was on and off for a while. People were backing out and wanting to come. Rather, it was like a dilly dally situation. Finally the trip was on. I picked up Dennis, Joel ,Satish, Rashmi all of Anisha’s friends. We met up at MG Road Bangalore at about 12.00 AM and zoomed off to our destination.

On our way, we had lots of chit chatting, music, fun and when we hit the feat of nandi hills, we pit stopped for a beer rather, an energy drink. We were little lost with our directions, and Anisha managed to hear people talking in those silent forests. Apparently, we all thought it could be the ghosts. Ha Ha Ha. Thankfully, we were able to locate your destination. We found few guides who can help us with the directions. Here we go, Onze, douze, treize, allez allez allez. This is where we take off. Started the trek, it was a long long way before we could actually experience the beautiful sunrise. It was a 2 hour trek. All I could feel through the trek was sweat, thorns and the eagerness to see the sunrise. The journey was quiet adventurous and treacherous. But definitely worthwhile when we saw the sunrise. The moment we reached the top we slurped few beers and felt like it was heaven. We even had maggi, chai and omblet! Can you beat that? Someone had a shop on the hilltop! Voila. We took a lot of pictures of the sunrise and enjoyed the moment! It definitely was a power shot (canon). Now we were all set for a trek in the opposite direction. Getting down was even more tedious. Once we got down with some struggle, we slurped some limca and water. Ah ! it felt like elixir of life! Yes we hit the highway and took the road to our respective homes. I thank one and all who made this trip possible.

P.S

Thanks Anisha, Carthik, Dennis, Joel, Kelvin,Rashmi and Satish ! Three cheers to you guys Hurray!

Will publish the pictures soon.
