The Nagari Trek

Chennai Trekkers set out for a one day trek to Nagari hills on Jan 17th. The experience was just beyond compare.

We started out at 8:30 AM from the base of the mountain and trekked 11 Km uphill to reach a 30 ft waterfall and a pool of crystal clear pristine water just in time for lunch.


















We all had a plunge in the water which was biting cold before a group of 11 set out on an exploratory trek above the waterfalls. With only unknowns to give us company it was an exciting experience to climb over the rocks, tip-toeing on the boulders across streams, clinging on to rock crevices and finally making it back in good shape.







After lunch the descent started at 3:30 PM. It took us 3 long hours to reach the base again after getting lost on the way.

  2. seems you have forgotten our silhouette team snap, jumping with both hands up, like rang de basanti, while returning in the evening.

    this is gopal btw ,who apparently learned about tricks in table tennis from you during the start of the trip in the bus and accompanied you throughout with other team members in the trip and snapshots...
