Alarm rang at exact 4:30 am.We finished all our duties and got ready for mighty task.Had a decent breakfast at 6:30 am.At 7:am we started our never ending journey......
We started our trekking from Kukke subramanya side which is considered to be
tough trek.We already ready for the mighty task.We know the every inch of trekking by means of google and from my friends.
One will notice,probably only 3 water points along the trek during winter and summer.
There is no water issue while trekking in monsoon season.So,get atleast one ltr bottle with u.
Some blogs describe that first water point is Bhatru mane(Bhat's house).ie,7kms from Kukke.Bhatru mane is the only one point where u can get food.
Bhat's house is halfway through the peak.ie 7kms from starting point.
We discovered new water source while trekking.After climbing 2 - 2.5kms kms u will find one dustbin.
take right deviation,proceed some 300mts downwards to find the stream. water is very cold and purest form.Its very refreshing after 2 2.5kms trek.
We started at 7am and reached water stream at 8:30am-9am.
Initial 6 kms u have to pass thru thick forest.There was no absolute sun contact.
After one or one and half hour good trekking,u will find one dustbin,Take right at that dustbin.Proceed some 300 mts.

After refreshing at fresh,cold,pure water stream,we headed towards Bhat's house.
From the stream Bhat's house is another 4kms.In which still 3 kms
you have to pass through dense forest,remaining one km through grasslands.
From Bhat's house u have to trek through grasslands.During monsoon and post monsoon
one can see lush green grassland.During winter,lush green color diminishes.
Bhat is serving the trekkers from past 10 years or so..
It is the only one house you will observe along the trek.
basic food is provided for the trekkers to energise themselves at reasonable rate.
One unlimited meal will cost u 60 buks.Meal contains rice,rasam,sambar,pickles,
leamon rice,butter milk.All I can say about the food is,worth for money.
We reached Bhat's house at 10:30 and enquired about food.
They said that food is only available after 11:30 am.
so we took complete one hr rest before taking meal.
However we took 3n half hr to reach Bhat's house.ie,7kms.
