Added to that trek all the way till kukke, get up early & trek till Bhattara mane and reaching blore by the same night ??? Its gonna be one hell of a tiring journey... Please correct me if am wrong or missing something !!!

      Cheers,
      Pranesh

                    well, I didnt get the plan properly, a few questions

                    1) If you start at 10:30 pm on friday then you should donigal by 3am in the morning. Where do you park the bikes? where do you stay ?
                    2) Day 1 is trekking to Kukke, stay at kukke ghat means in the temple or some near by places, pardon me I ve no idea on kukke
                    3) how long/duration of the trek, and how frequently we will get a vehicle to the place where we park the bikes,

                    hmmm.. I hands are itching now...

                      Guys,

                      I have done this trek before, my cousins estate is in sakleshpur closeby to this track trekking. The trek is good, tunnels are nice to go through... You'll find an ocassional goods train passing by... So you have to be careful... And the stones on the tracks are painful... So you need good soles...

                      BUT!!!! The main thing guys.. There is no road back from Yedakumari... We thought there was one when we went for the trip but at the end of it the station master there told us there was no road and that we would have to trek through the jungle... We did trek having only 1 and half hours to sunset... It was a hell of a trip, pretty scary because we were fighting against time while trekking through the jungle and findin a path that could lead us back to the highway... Luckily one of my friends who had come along had some training in the army and he led the way... So guys please do your homework before you go for this trip... You might end up stuck in the train station...

                          @Anna....thats the spirit

                          1. Reach park the bikes in sakaleshpur, take local bus/lorry to donigal rest for 2-3 hours and start the trekk at 6-15-6.30

                          2. Reach kukee by 3 or 4 pm and lodge till morning

                          3. Day 3, kumara parvata...

                          Vehicles frequent every 15 mins between these routes

                              Hmmm... Then its fine... I was jus worried if yall were going to stop at yedakumari like we did... Anyways, the trip will be good... And again i would advise all who are going for this trip to wear hard soled trekking shoes... If you wear sports shoes and stuff your legs are going to be sore... And posting a few pics from my trip... These pics will surely make you all want tomorro to come faster

                              Cheers... have a nice ride and trek
