| Narasimha Parvatha Trek trail, Kuduremukha National Park. |
This was a pending plan from many months ever since the monsoon started. However, finally we
found the right team in good number to attempt with right spirit.
Akshay and Mohan had taken care of travel and other arrangements and we scheduled the dates to be 20th and 21st of September. The plan in mind was something like this; Leave Bengalore by 10:30pm on 19th night and reach Sringeri, Climb up from Kigga side, Stay at the peak, cook maggi, have a campfire, and get down to Malandur on the next day, reach Agumbe by lunchtime and head back to Bengalore by night.
But no matter how much we are ready to face any discomforts, mother nature has her own plans to make us think twice before stepping in.
With all the waiting, picking up all the fellow trekkers, at last, finally, we left Bengalore by 12:30am. almost two hours behind schedule. After a long overnight journey of 400km, we reached Agumbe - Ajjimane by 8:30 am. Since there were more guests we were unlucky not to have breakfast there. Nevertheless we were offered "Kashaya" - health drink with 28 different ingredients. As our trek guide Thimmappa was waiting from 7:00 am, we hurried up and had breakfast at Agumbe bus stand. Goodness!! The idlies were unexpectedly amazing. Do try if you go there, but only when you don't get food at Ajji mane! :P
