After crossing the falls one has to trek nearly 1 km to get the elevation of apprx 1800mts.
This is the hardest part of the trek.Nearly 60-70degree steep elevation.
From here,the view of Kudremukh range is splendid . .just can't explain in words ..
It was already nearly 1pm in the afternoon.And we were in search of good dining place.
We noticed nearly 5-6 random falls atop . . I captured some of them . .
just take a look . . .
nothing to explain more . . Pics will tell the further story . .enjoyy . ..
This is the dangerous part of the trek.One has to cross this falls in order to
pursue the trek.It was very slippery ..In monsoon time be careful . .

 At about 1800mts there is a British ruined bungalow . .
I wonder how they transported raw materials to such a place
where trekking itself is a challenging . .
Some of them call it as a ruined church built by British.
once upon a time it was the property of British LOBO . .

Ruined bungalow is located on the right side of the trail.
Proceed some half a km further from Bungalow.There is a good place for
relaxing and also for lunch beside the stream.We opened our packed lunch and
had very good lunch..Relaxed a bit ...

 Just after finishing our lunch it started raining heavily . . .

Final Destination : Kudremukh Peak (KMP)
After finishing lunch we took some 10 mins rest.At that time it was started raining heavily.
Its the time for us to move quickly.Because it was already 2:30pm.If it starts raining
at that high altitude then its not gonna be stop in a while.And also trekking becomes
more difficult.
The last stretch is quite steep.Finally we reached the peak at exactly 2:50 pm . .
Wooow . .wooooo . .its an amazing feeling . .all were lil more excited . . .
And it was still raining .. .
At last we were on the Very prominent peak of Kudremukh range.ie,Kudremukh peak (KMP)
