We could see the peak which we had to traverse through... It was hot out there and the weather was dry, we were surrounded by the yellow grass 
and open land..we started our adventure by climbing up the hillock. It was pretty steep, elevated abt 80 degree angle. We kept on walking in the hot sun..the peak was never coming..but none of us lost it..by this time the group was distributed into smaller groups..few were leading ahead with Ram..few were cruising down the middle ..and rest were following with Jai at the end ensuring “AALL 
IZ WELL”….we took a little break on the way and had the fruits and water..to ensure we are not starving and not get dehydrated..this ensured all were in good health and high spirit..as we restarted our march..once we thought we are almost there….alas..the peak which we thought is our target..was not so..it was just a high land which actually is a base of another hill..like this we made our legs to mar
ch over 3-4 such structures..finally mine and few of our legs started agitation..shouting loaudly...”Emotional ayachaar nahi sahenge..nahi sahenge!!! All these days you kept us in AC rooms..taken good care of us..not given much work..even you made sure we don’t climb stairs and u use lift…And today you are making us to slog???” we some how managed to pacify them and we all halted under a big tree on the way..we waited for all to come…we thought of having some food/lunch before we took a start..sandwich, bread jam, oranges, apples, pears, cake, biscuits..were on the menu…it was a healthy eat out!!

Ram was eagerly waiting for this moment..not because he was hungry or tired..he was the one who was carrying the bread and other stuff..he would be relieved of this weight from his back..We had good time chatting, pulling each other’s legs. It was a good relaxation!! It was time to move on…we had to meet our target!!
The next 3- 4 kms were very hard. Its just boz our body had cooled down after the break and climbing up on the hill top was becoming very tough. ..especially for me..it was getting really tough with severe headache J in my right leg….when going gets tough, tough gets going!! (too much..aa…??) And Finally we reached the top ..heyy!!! finally!!!
When we saw from top the road that we had covered…. we felt sense of accomplishment!!! It was amazingly nice..we now landed at the jeep tack road, which would lead us to our base camp..Bhattara mane( priest’s house) @ kodachadri!!! The jeep track is the only road to reach kodchadri from Nittur/Kollur without trekking.. it was a muddy road..but not much of ups/down..when we made our way to our base camp it was abt 2.10PM…
At last we are @ our base camp..the Bhattara Mane!!!
