What an experience it was?
Started from Hebbal at 10:30 and we soon reached skanda Giri by 1 AM in the morning. The hill looked pretty small and looked like a piece of cake to trek.
We started trek at 1:30 AM with complete energy laughing our way and flashing torch lights. What a beautiful night it was. Full moon and a trek under it, was brilliant and beautiful. The beautifully lit up sky with the moon light and the huge stones on the hill were amazing to look at.
4 hours of bone breaking trek to the top with as many number of pit stops, everyone made it. With almost all the part of the body paining, shutter bugs spirits were high enough to take a few snaps on top, of the ruins. The chill breeze started to pick up and it was too cold to withstand.
Later on we retired to wait for the sunrise and found a nice cozy place to sleep on the rocks near a bonfire. Pretty soon it was about day break and it was beautiful to see the city lights and in the backdrop the western ghats covered with fog and the skyes in blue and red colors.
All in all it was a very nice experience, a very different one. Hope to go back in the winter once again.
