hey buddies,
am here again to tell you my first treking experience. Yea that was awesome...We around ten ppl... my collegemates planned to have a trekking trip to Velayangiri Hills which is little far away from from coimbatore..As per my friend's suggestion we decided to move on in night.Yea as per we planned we reached that place "Poondi" around 10pm. Started our trip at exactly 11pm... God damn... Its totally 7 hills we have to walk up. and the length is approx. 6 kms. The height of that hill is 6000 feet(Source: Notice Board) It was fun at the begining but later i was really found difficult to move on.I was continously walking for almost three hours and we crossed just three hills. At around 2am we had a little hault in between.Had some biscuits and water.Am completely sweat.But its completely cold out.I never had such a feeling.And that feeling forced me move on.After one hoour walk i just sat on one rock to have normal breath.I felt like i was in refrigirator. Completely cold and we started shivering. Then we resumed the walk.satarted moving but in a very slow manner.Around 5am reached the bottom of Seventh hill.
There we found a beautiful lake. Brilliant it was. Some of us took bath over there.Really it was very cold and couldn't tolarate. I wore two jerkins to keep myself warm. After one hour walk we reached the top. Am struck there.I was above the clouds and mist. I felt like am at the top of world. That feel was great. The sun is about to rise when we reached there.Had a chance to view the sun rise at 6000 ft height. Am really gifted. and the sun rise, the orange color it spreaded over the clouds.. and the mist started moving because of those rays were really treat for the eyes.
Shot everything in the digi.camera. and had some breads over there.Then the prayer session.That was a small cave and got a chance to get close to the LINGAM and prayed well. And we Started getting down around 8 am. That part was really really bad. It was completely slope and we had a bamboo stick for support.Even though i found difficult to get down. Some what managed and got down at around 2pm.
Then we had a nice lunch in that temple and came back to room... Intresting thing is.. i was not able to walk or move or even turn for next three days..now only am walking well and able to run.. But all the pain will go away after seeing those photos that i took at the top.
If possible,everyone who loves trekking should explore these seven hills. Will post those photos in my next blog.Keep blogging.
