When our office trip was planned and we were informed we would be going Sakleshpur, I was a bit skeptical.
I had seen a few pictures of the place and you know sometimes they can be heavily edited and deceiving, but when I saw the place, I was taken aback by the sheer beauty of this place.
We started our journey on a chilly December morning and reached the place around 4:30 PM. Upon arrival, we were offered snacks. After fueling ourselves, we started exploring the place, it was quite and refreshing, away from the bustling noise of the city.
As it was getting a bit dark, we gathered at the main area, where we were informed about the fire place. We laughed and enjoyed ourselves with dance and songs. This was followed by dinner. The best part about this trip was that we were given tents beside a small river. To sleep in the lap of nature is a pure bliss one should experience at least once in their lifetime.
We woke up early, had our breakfast and began our 3 km hike up a small hill.
The amazing view of the place will have you spellbound. There is greenery all around you, as far as eye can see. It is just the best feeling, a feeling I can't describe, one has to experience it and they would know, it is a feeling that cannot be penned down.
We went to the top of the hill and got some amazing pictures and went back down, which roughly took us 2 hours.
I was sad that this trip was so short and wanted to stay back, but we had to head back to our mundane lives. So, I bid adieu to this beautiful place and we went our way.
All in all, it was an experience I would never forget. Anyone who wants to unwind and has very little time to do so, can head to this enchanting place and rejuvenate.
