Mullayangiri



Memorable experience of Mullayangiri trek made possible to us by Travelife. 6 of us waiting at the pick up point, thinking of so many things of how we are gonna start the trek, how end it everything was like a wind of thoughts. Settling in the car hired from Travelife made us feel little comfortable, all of us chanting on when we will reach and how we will trek. All of us tired from the hectic schedule t work made us just goto sleep in no time.

Chirping of the birds and bright sun rays falling on my face from a small window helped me to be awake. The cool breeze on my face just felt like am in the lap of the nature and this feeling was wonderful. We realized that we had already crossed the sarpadhari (Starting point of trek). As per our driver’s instructions we unloaded the car and started walking down, amidst the nature, beautiful hillocks, densely covered trees with wild flowers. Realized our trek had already started, initial part was steep and scary but left with lots of excitement within us. It was kind off rocky but was not that difficult to trek on them. In between we kept taking breaks as we wanted to have maximum pictures of most of the trek, everyone of us wanted to capture Mullayangiri in their cameras. Weather was so beautiful, ideal time for trekking, it was kind off misty little chilled and sunny. In no time we reached the nandi statue this had a roof like structure on top of the statue which is made out of rock. Heading towards the peak led us to another Nandi, this time it was inside the cave and it was deep. Now reaching the third and final nandi, we could see the sea level and the valley steep and deep down from here. Shiva temple made it look like a fort. The trek all the way from bottom till the top was a different experience altogether. Relaxing in between the clouds was a magnificent experience and after a while we had to start towards the base truly disappointing.

Climbing down was so easy and quick, we enjoyed the steep valley walking leisurely, talking, taking halts to just sit back and enjoy the beautiful view of the valley. It was lunch time when we reached the base had good lunch and water as we did a good amount of labor work. Jokes apart it was one of the best experiences of lifetime. Travelife organized a very good trek for us.
