Tadiandamol Trek, Coorg [21st - 22nd May 2022] - Registration is ON
Any day in the Scotland
of India- Coorg is better than a normal day in the city. If you are looking for
a getaway that yells beauty, serenity and one of a kind experience then look no
more.
Tadiandamol stands at a height of 5700ft, located at a distance of
8 km from the town of Kakkabe and approximately 35 km from Madikeri.It is the
highest peak in Coorg and is situated in the south-eastern part of Coorg.
We reach Coorg at dawn, the fresh aroma of coffee estates that span as far
as your eyes can possibly see offer us a warm welcome. After a quick breakfast
we start from Nalakanad Palace. the trek route has numerous visual treats for
you guys in store. From seeing pretty butterflies, to waterfalls that are of
just the right size to enjoy, to jaw dropping views of the valley. Tadiandamol
is a MUST for everybody who choose NATURE over Netflix.
After about 4kms
of walk we reach BIG ROCK that will serve as a point of rest before we continue
towards the peak. The path then tests you with gradual increase in the
inclination, this where you come across the famous shola jungle.
But
nature has a trick up her sleeve, we come up to a false peak which deceive many
people who end up thinking that this is the peak. The trail thereafter becomes
narrow and steep, which makes even a distance of just 300m seem like a lot!
The top is usually covered in low, moving clouds. After spending ample time
and enjoying everything that the trek has to offer we have our packed lunch and
enjoy the panoramic views, we begin our descent at a slow comfortable pace back
to the base.
A short drive later we are back at our homestay for tea and
snacks, followed by dinner and a blissful night s rest. Next morning we wake up
by 7 AM to freshen up and have breakfast, following which we will continue to
the Golden Temple. We begin for Bangalore a little before noon and are likely to
reach here by about 9PM in the evening.
Overall, Tadiandamol offers
enchanting views while at the same time not demanding too much physically (in
comparison to treks such as Kumara Parvatha, Mullayanagiri/Bababudangiri, etc.),
which makes it the perfect initiation trek for anyone looking to take up
trekking seriously.
NOTE:
- Carry a raincoat. The weather here
is volatile and can change drastically on short notice.
- Torch is mandatory.
- Pack light. Carry only what is necessary.
- Expect leeches in the monsoon
and post-monsoon seasons.
