On the way to Maribetta. Maribetta is situated close to Kanakpura on Bangalore-Kanakpura highway. Around 60km ride from Bangalore, on a state highway. It should not take more than an hour to reach there on a normal day.
We parked the vehicle at a farmer's house. He happily agreed for it. In the end he didn't even take any money from us. Trek starts through some small farms and then forest stretch starts.
There are some rocky stretches in initial phase. Small comfortable strides should take you through it easily. As soon as these rocks finish, forest area starts. Long trees followed by thorny plants on rocky hilly terrains.
We started late, so mid way it became total dark. If you are not very sure about the paths, night trek is not advisable. So we took rest at one of the rock stretch. It was a 20 degree slope region. Whole night we kept slipping. :)
Morning are simply awesome. In night you can see mist coming and covering you. Luckily there was no rain in night.
They say it's a stretch of 20-30 hills similar to this. You can see many of them sitting here. All covered in mist. They make it a memorable morning experience.
In morning we started again to finish the final leg of trek. We were at half-n-hour distance from top. Final stretch was bit difficult with steep slippery rocks. Luckily we did not try to do it in dark. It would have been very dangerous.
It's a flat plateau on the top. You can feel the clouds touching you. Visibility is poor; who wants to read newspaper here anyways. :)
Maribetta top looks simply amazing from the plateau. Clouds cover you like a blanket. It's fresh air. And you can smell the mist.
Have breakfast, take some rest and enjoy the nature all the way. Then we start our journey back. Route is more or less the same. So a little more careful strides this time. There is no water resource throughout the trek. So better carry sufficient drinking water with you.
Finally we are back. This is where we were having our breakfast 2 hours ago. It was so nice to be on the top of world.
