It was almost 6 – 7 years since we had the last trek, we have been discussing a lot to get back to trekking, but there was always something or the other that would fail and we would eventually go on a trip rather than a trek. Trekking through the forest is always fun and exciting, but scary at times as well.
Those days of trekking was awesome, we never knew our destination we just used to pack our bags and head on to a destination which is unknown. It was most of the time difficult and some times very tiring with sun on top of you or heavy rains but the memories after would become worthwhile after the trip.
This trek to Sholgere happened in a few days time and was an unexpected one but the whole experience was worth the every effort we took to get there, we had a blast on top of the hill with a heavenly location and a picturestique view. We had everything on our side on this trip from the friend whole helped us arrange the whole place to the villagers who served us with their delicacy food of chicken curry in afternoon and horse gram curry in the night.
This place was so windy from the time we reached there to the time we left the place and we did have some scary moments as well but it was worth it. We would wake up at any small sound that happened it night as the place we had put our tent was inhibited by elephants but with good luck we didn’t face any problems as we only encountered elephant dung’s and not elephants’, but we did indeed spotted a few of them from the top of the hill which was away from us some 5-6kms.
Well this was one of the best places I have visited from all of my journeys and as the saying goes “ A traveler never plans his destination and is not intended on arriving”.
