It was long time since we went for a trek with office mates.
Even though it was summer, we decided to go for one day trek. After filtering out many options, we decided to visit MakaliDurga.
We planned to start at 4:30 AM in the morning with a gang 8 - Shantanu, kp, Vivek, SaiKiran, Piyush, Murali, Dibya, Myself. Shantanu and Vivek agreed to get their cars. We were delayed by an hour and finally hit the road around 5:30.
We reached MakaliDurga railway station by 7 AM. After a quick photo session, we started walking along the railway tracks towards the hill. After reaching the mile stone number 54/400, we took a left deviation towards the hill.
The trek path was marked with white lines and all that we need to do is to follow the arrows. We got little adventurous and decided to take a random path to reach the top.
This path was clear and we did not have much difficulty except for one place. From any point on the hill, we could see the railway track. Once we reached the top, we took out our remaining snacks and enjoyed the cool weather. There is a very small temple on the top which is not operational.
After posing for few pics, we headed towards the foot of the hill. We relied on google maps for the route and got misdirected and took a wrong path. Instead of taking 1 hour to reach the base, we almost took 4 hours. Because of this we ran out of water and the energy levels went low.
We did not have an option but to force ourselves to walk. Fortunately we found a motor pump which pumps water to the fields. We were relieved that we got some water to drink and our energy levels raised.
After a quick break, we started back. We found a lake nearby and decided to cool ourselves in the pure water. After a refreshing bath, we started towards the railway track. Finally we were on track to the railway station. We reached the station at 5 PM completely drained out of energy.
We started around 5:30 to Bangalore.
