Kalwarbetta (Skandagiri) Trek
I had a chance to Trek Skandagiri hills today , thanks to Bangalore Mountaineering Club (BMC).This place is located around 65 Kms from bangalore. The trek is not very difficult but is exhausting. It takes around 2 hours to reach the peak.
The organization from BMC was excellent. We were group of 42 , some novice and some seasoned trekkers. It was a good experience altogether and I looking forward to participate in future events organized by BMC.
