One of my favourite getaways from Chennai is Yelagiri hills (details
in my earlier post). This time I went there with my family and my brother in law
Mr.Badri Thirumalai’s family for the XMas holidays. Staying in Yelagiri is a very
relaxing experience and I love it. This time 3 of us (myself, Badri and his son Aravind)
decided to do the 4KM trekking into Yelagiri forests. We went and came back on our
own, but not sure whether we went in the correct trekking track.
We ventured up to an old pond (360 degree view done with Windows Live Picture Gallery
below) in thick of the forest and a little beyond it and when the tracks ended we
turned back :-)
The experience was wonderful and relaxing. The trek route was peaceful, clean and
green, absolute silence almost all the way in the forest – you can hear only the occasional
bird chirps (see the video below), that’s all. It took us less than 2:30 Hours to
complete the trek & return. Next time, probably I will take a “Guide” so that
we can venture more into the forest.
