Trek begins @ HiDlumane
Flowers on the way
Get directions from a local house
adjacent hills...
first stream to come across
Hidlumane Falls
.. the foot of it...
A glance at the top
on our way back
to the local house
through the sugarcane fields
the trek to koDachadri begins...
only to find people scattered after some time :)
...re-start on the jeep-track
..& the day's about to end
..with the loonger shadows
..& the golden light on the dry grass...
sun tries to escape from us...
behind the temple at the top
still we manage to reach the peak & the sunset point on time!
sun trying to reach horizon
with its spectacular colors...
... painted on the sky
..& exhausted guys are relieved to see the sunset!
a silhoutte after the sunset
... the campfire..
2nd day hues of the dawn
Sun emerges out..
..Over the local peaks...
A thin cloud welcoming
Sunrise above the blades of grass
A zoomed-up view
..& the whole..
Sameer trying his son's act (Confused? Sameer's son = Vaayu's son, Hanuman who tried to eat-up the sun-fruit)
the mist surrounding nearby peaks
Hues of the dawn beside the temple
Shankaracharya peetha
.. the climb-down begins..
with a view of the sun-lit golden back waters
Ganapati Guha on our way back
.. & a stream that takes out thirst of local villagers & visitors
A pond near the guest house
.... its time fr the breakfast!
& trek down on the other side thereafter
through the hardly-lit-up jungle
.. & we discover an unexplored, untouched waterfall! where no man has ever gone before! (coz No plastics found ;-) )
.. where the bubbles take birth & swirl...
ArisinagunDi waterfall
& its foot
..with roaring sounds..
Look from a different angle
View of its origin
Rainbow effect!
Vibrant colors scattering at the base
..A close-up
last look at the astonishing colors before we start back...
.. & we touch the concrete road that leads to kollur
The complete team on so-called successful completion of Trek!
