Recently went to Kalavaarahalli Betta better known as Skandagiri. It took me sometime to digest the name - Kalavaarahalli Betta.
When I heard of the idea this night trek i got goose bumps. I have done trekking a lot but never did night trekking.
A group of 14 people of course including me :P started at 3 AM, climbing the hill of 7 kms, with bag packs, a torch in one hand and with heart out in another. The way ants walk in a line without distortion, we also walked the same way with helping each other in climbing. I was little scared and but excited too.

We reached hill top at around 5:30 AM. It was nerve wrecking cold and windy over there made me freeze. But the excitement of seeing the Sun rise made me survive there. The sun rose around 6:30 AM

Believe me, I had not seen such a beautiful morning in my life.
After having breakfast carried along with us and listening to guitar from one of the guitarist among us, we were back to down hill at 10 AM.
Really, it was an enthralling trek for me.
