"Tadiandamol Memories"
Bit strange name “Tadiandamol” but too awesome place☺. Super weather, season, hills, greenery, waterfalls, viewpoints, thick forest, rocky land, mist, fog, leeches, rainfall and finally caring and sharing friend’s company made this Trek a memorable one.
We all were geared up and ready to start our journey on 22 July at 10.30 pm. Due to some reasons vehicle came late by 2 hours. By then we all introduced ourselves. Since it was my second trek from BTC, I met many new friends. It is good to meet people who interested in trekking like me☺. Finally after long waiting time mini bus came. Fun time started then! We all played Antyakshari, danced for the beats and finally slept to set for the next day.
Morning when I opened my eyes it was full green. It was an amazing feeling to see such a greenery. We reached Virajpet around 7.30am. After one more hour journey, we reached the place for freshening up. We got ready and had breakfast. Finally, our trekking began with Pavan leading our group, Viru and Arun (organizers) helping us to make our Trek fast trek. Initially it was a tar road, then muddy way in between we could hear the swishing of a flowing stream. I was very excited to see some fruits on trees, colorful flowers. Soon we started to trek on forest area and saw leeches and creeps on the way. Soon after there was a grassy way. Temperature was dropping down as we proceeded and foggy climate continued. Nothing was so visible. For a very short time, it was sunny and the view from the hill was ecstatic. Viru showed us the peak it was quite far away. Tadiandamol belongs to Western Ghats where we saw some forest area and later grassy area. I felt little exhausted while climbing but climate was very chill, all were supporting helping each other and motivating too. When we crossed a forest area, it started to rain heavily and muddy road became more slipper where we had to rush with care. Soon we reached the Peak around 2.30PM. It was fully foggy. We clicked many pics and finally Rakesh had few Leech bites. We stayed on peak for some time and shared the snacks.
We stated our way back. It was slippery on rocky and muddy areas. With jokes, chitchats and fun around helped each other to reach down. We reached Virajpet & had an tasty lunch and we reached Bangalore.
We got an experience of many weather variations in a single day. Thanks to organizers and everyone for such a wonderful trekking experience. Hope I will have such trips again and again!
