This will be more of a photologue than a travelogue. I had done this trek 2 years back and just wanted to share with you all.
Some info about the place...
Tadiyandamol, 5250 ft high, is the second highest peak in Karnataka. Literally means the 'highest point', this peak is one of the popular trekking spot. Adjacent to Makutta Forest, Tadiyandamol is noted for its coffee plantations. Nalkunadu Palace - A palace built during the 18th century, is at the base of the peak.
The best time to visit the spot is in early winter. Tadiyandamol is 40kms from Madikeri and about 35kms from Virajpet on the way to Bhagamandala and around 300kms from Bangalore.
Journey Details
Participants: 4 Guys - Myself, Bharath Hebbal, Kaushik, Kencha
Bikes: RX135, Enticer
Route: Bangalore - Srirangapatna - Hunsur - Virajpet - Tadiyandamol (Total around 600kms)
Stay: Virajpet
Journey Begins
Bangalore - Mysore Highway
You can always expect few encounters through the Jungle (Nagarhole National Park)
Road which you never get bored off
Typical Monsoon in Coorg
Chelavara Falls - Virajpet
I thought we risked our lives crossing that water just for the sake of a photo which dint even came out clear.
Misty weather and no human beings around makes it a splendid spot.
Trek route starts
*Danger* - Bee Hive, just a meter away
Yes... peek of the peak
Can you see people in-between the trek path
Amidst trek path
Still plenty to climb
Finally on top
The team
Dare to be there??
Western Ghats - What a place!!!
And the journey comes to an end....
