Trek to Kodachadri....

Finally the day is come....its decided that we are going to Kodachadri ,the highest peak in Shimoga District. At the peak it is believed that 'Shankaracharya' did meditation.Its also said that the peak presents a not to be missed life-time opportunity in the evening as the sun sets in the west. You can also have a golden glimpse of the Arabian sea for a moment.

Am all excited for the journey.A vague map about our travel is here
From Bangalore catch a Train Shimoga.From Shimoga catch a bus which goes towards Nagara (Shimoga Dist.), and get down at a place Sampekatte [a 45 minute journey].To your right you'll find a mud road where you can find a sign indicating the way towards kodachaadri. On the way you will find a small tea shop (kaka angadi) after one hour walk. From here it is roughly 5 hours of trek to the peak. Just half-an-hour before the peak you will find a temple and deviate from temple will lead to 'Agastya Teertha'. The route will take you inside dense forest.

PS: More to come after the trek....
