Trek with adrenaline rush
I was lone trekker in my slot that day.I reached aiyur check post at 6.30 am and at 6.55 am I was informed that trek starting point is around 10 km ( it was exactly 17 km). There was no board and sign for trek, no signal except bsnl and vodafone. Luckily I got guide. Trek was initially over some paved rocky road through village and later into dense forest with a small lake. Just pure nature at its best. The view from peak was not great because of dense clouds otherwise it would have been great. I finished up n down totally in 2 hrs 40 min. Totally worth it. Would request forest office to arrange some vehicle from aiyur check post to start point.
Mesmorising Views!!
This was my First trek in Trek TN. I chose this spot because it is near my native place. This place is so underrated. I never knew such a place even existed, near my hometown. The trees along the trek are a real boon to watch. I have not seen mango trees at such a height and girth. The birds chirping, butterflies, spiders and animals making random noise... Adds spice to the trek. As the path rose, the mist and the air were so cool. The guide was also knowledgeable. The lake view is also stunning. But this trek is not for beginners, due to its long steep climbs. Overall a good trek.
Good

A superb journey to dense forest
I have done this trek on 03.01.2026. A splendid experience into wild forest. Lots of variety of birds, trees can be seen. Luckily we didn’t run into wild animals. Forest officials will be coming along and guide throughout the journey amazingly. Go out there and enjoy the stunning view.
