savandurga

It was a morning 6o'clock.I started from my home.While rushing along the roads to reach the majestic , i realized that the petrol in my bike was empty.I was thinking whether i could make it within 7.Finally found a petrol bunk near by functioning even at morning 6.15 a.m.Reached majestic and parked my bike in parking lot and started searching for "shanthala silks".That was the meeting spot.Finally made it to meeting spot at 7.05.Niranjan was there with the list and talking to every one.Just joined the gang with slight introduction with every one.
Van arrived at 7.15. We all got into van and started the trip to savandurga. Starting with me
Mahesh,Grish,Gautham,Ratna,Tulsi,Sakthi,Bala,Asthosh,Venu and Niranjan gave a brief introduction about them self along with most adventurous activities they have done in their life.Grish's adventure story was unique and funny.It was about how he quenched a fire with carrying water in bare hands with out any thing.   So vehicle stopped for breakfast in hotel. Grish was telling story about how he used to trek in ladakh in a funny and interesting way.After a nice break fast we stopped in a big banyan tree.I never expected that the tree is so big that it is spread over 50 meter radius.Had lot of group clicks and some profile clicks.Our driver wala introduced a new spot which was prohibited reservoir with a danger note in it.



No one had mood to get in to water.Every one was very much interested to trek.After few clicks started in dam and we made our way to savandurga.So finally there we are to asia's largest monolithic rock.

This was a easy trek.But we dont want to make it easy so we started our own route.Sakthivel started climbing at steeper side.so we are on the way to top.Me and gautham fixed hill top on our mind and started to climb directly to hill top.As we moved up it went still steeper.My gripless shoes frightened me a little bit.
Me and gautham climbed little more higher and it was more steeper.Then only we know it was very difficult to climb this way with out rope.So finally we both caught up like a lizard on the wall not able to move up(more than 70 degrees i guess).The only option left to us is to decend down littile bit and move in side wise.
Decending down in that steep and little deep area made a little panic.Finally little by little came down started to move parallel and got in to the way.Gautham took nice shots of this moment.So we joined the way and went little higher.Our gang was under a tree and Niranjan prepared an superb lemon juice which was very tasty.

Had fun for some time and started climbing.It was very easy as we follow the marked arrows up to some time.Then again girish,sakthivel,bala and me started at our own route.We also got alerted from a guy who said arrows is in this direction. We dont want to follow the arrows again stated climbing in wrong way.Tulsi, Niranjan,Venu also with us in the wrong way.After finishing a steep climb,there seamed to be a way but  there was no such way.Two options were there. Straight 90 degrees climb for 12 meters or decend down and join the normal path
.So 90 degrees climb with out a rope is quite unusual.Sakthivel decided to try 90 degrees climb having faith in his woodland shoes.So he was trying very hard and almost struck not able to come down and go up for more than 10 minutes.Any how he manged to climb that 12 meters.Bala followed him.Then me Venu,Tulsi climbed and waiting for Niranjan to come.Thanks to Niranjan he gave support for our legs.But there is no one to give support for Niranjan as he was the last one to climb.Any way he made it up.
Then it was like a simple walk .We reached the top with lot photographs.Thanks to gautham,astosh who took lot of photo graphs.Girish was trying some jumping shots in a slope in multisession mode .Me,venu and tulsi also did.It was captured in mahesh camera in a funny  and wonderful way.
Then reached the top of the hill and had nice lemon rice.

 The breeze was so nice.And a poem flashed about the breeze.
 Finally we climbed down and had lot off masala puris.Singing tamil and hindi combination songs  was awesome fun.finally reached bangalore.One thing i forgot to tell you i almost killed venu's name ..viru..vinay veenu...Finally at last i got that right.I was a awesome moment with you poeple.Thank for so much fun.
