This was not some general normal trip, it was a trekking experience. And my first time as well. Rather than spending another weekend at the pub, I and my friends decided to do this. We(Rehana and me) booked bike for Rs.199/day for two days with from Skyout.
Now Kunti Betta is in Pandavapura which is 125kms away from Bangalore. Since it was a budget trip, a raw travel was expected.
We started our journey from 5.30p.m. We were there with our backpacks to start a journey. A journey which we would never forget. And after a lot of hush-push, crossing so many areas (including Ramanagaram, Mandya) we finally reached Pandavapura around 7.30-8.00PM. We then reach the base of the mountain.There was also one group came from Bangalore. On the way we bought some water bottles and biscuits. After reaching the base, had a nice dinner and started the trek.
Since it was my first time, I found it difficult; on top of that it was a night trek. We only had our torch lights and the person going in front to guide us. Carrying a sleeping bag, backpack and trekking to the top was challenging. I would wait and talk to myself about how I can do it because it’s just a mountain .
On reaching the top, there was this sudden inner voice which told me it was all worth it. EVERYTHING. Those marks,scratches,bruises,almost breaking my phone. The cool breeze will make you question why didn't you do it before? For those who haven't trekked ever. What are you waiting for? Trek or else you'll miss a great experience.
Spend the night under the stars in your cozy sleeping bag and wait for the sunrise. The sunrise is the best part. Calm and peaceful. Click some pictures to preserve them forever.
Start trekking down. Have a breakfast in the local style(idly vada). Drive back to Bangalore. Reach Bangalore by 12.30PM.
