Last week, I had been to a trek in Chickmagalur. Mullayanagiri is a very nice place to trek, also its a treat in the monsoons. I registered for this trek and on the last day came to know the batch would comprise of 36 people.
Though I completed the Mullayanagiri trek, I did not venture into attempting the Baba Budangiri trek, since it was raining and the trek would be a very risky one.
But all in all I enjoyed the trek. The worst part of the trek was the weight of my luggage. I almost carried 5.5 kilograms of luggage throughout the Mullayanagiri trek.
1.5 kilos of my empty bag.
1.75 kilos of my Nikon D90.
1 kilo of rain coat.
1+ kilos of 2 L water bottle.
I was rather slow throughout the trek, it was my bad part, that even after 3 treks, I still ended up carrying so much of luggage. Ideally luggage should have been 1-2 kilos only.
Next time, I shall be careful for sure.
Second day, had a blast in Dabbe falls. Got bitten by leeches around 4 times !
Cheers,
Sandeep
