The Tranquil Brahmagiri Trek

I was welcomed with a gigantic route map of the Brahmagiri mountain, right at the beginning of our trek. It did helped me a lot to plan our trek as it had a clear representation of the various routes leading to different temples and attractions on the way. As it was clearly visible that the route is sealed by the forest reserve, trekking from 4 PM to 6 AM is strictly prohibited here, considering the existence of wild animals here.

I was in awe of the mother nature throughout our way, the path built with strong rock formation beneath the moderately dense forest with birds chirping all over made me forget my disappointment of waking on an early morning alarm call. As I started my trek early in the morning, there wasn't much noise and I could sense even the smallest of moment happening in jungle quite clearly.

Panoramic views is something which keeps your body going while trekking and the visual treat which Brahmagiri mountain range was providing to my eyes can't be describe in words. The clouds were covering the mountain tops while the greenery was topped with the patch of colourful flowers - it is definitely a heaven for shutterbugs!

If you aren't familiar with trekking then here's something you should remember - Every trek is bound to give you an unforgettable experience (Mark our words!). Everything was going buttery smooth until we saw a bunch of locales and tourist suddenly paused at a spot and when inquired, I got to know that a Leopard was seen crossing the route just about 5-10 minutes I reached there. But being the experienced campaigners, I decided to continue our journey to the top without freaking out because there's nothing much you can do when you are in the wild territory! Isn't it?

After 2 hours of relentless trek, surpassing through the group of notorious monkeys - who were all over me, I finally reached the peak of the mountain and must say, the view from the top gave me a pleasant feeling which was enough to forget all the pain of trekking. The nature was seemed to be still asleep under the foggy blanket while the initial rays of sun passing through the clouds was signaling the start of yet another day in the wild as the locales were busy setting up the shops around the temples on top of Brahmagiri.

It was indeed an awe-inspiring experience which I would treasure for life in my travel diaries and the best thing about this trek was the well-furnished route which made sure that this trek doesn't turn into a painful one!
