Our resort was like a heaven and all the pre arrangements are done by Uma and Ashok. Second day we made up our mind to do Thandiyandamol. It been a first trek to most of my colleagues. But after Thandiyandamol we climbed Parvathamalai, Sakleshpur and few minor treks.
We reached the base camp without any prior arrangements or mind set and started to climb with a simple map. The map is simple but very clear. After certain distance, hopefully after reaching 4.5kms 2 guys from our team left behind and went to base camp, since one of them had sprain injury in the leg and the other went behalf of him.
Since its summer and we didn't had water bottles for the trek, we suffered with dehydration in the middle. Managed some how and reached the top around 3:45pm in the afternoon. Started the trek by around 10:30 in the morning.
No words to explain the beauty of the peak. In the total dehydration and pain our only relief is the cool wind in the top. Some other professional and pre-cautious trekkers provided us some glucose, tang and water.
We were able to see some tents, and really we missed the camping at Thandiyandamol. But we done it in Sakleshpur. Missing and failures are just one step ahead of victory. I like that people who have failures and missing in their life. I don't follow the foot path of a Successor who didn't have a single failure.
The total trek gave us mental energy and it taught the preparations for the trek. Experiences make people perfect. Love Nature and please do not spoil it.
