Day Two
Day Two
------------
The beginnin of the fellowship of thadiyendamol(In malayalam it means gundu ennudaya ponnu.... thadi enda mol)...I had a good sleep in the van the previous night and when i woke up i saw coffee plantations everywhere...I strtd 2 c em and found tht they were everywhere with spices twinin around some trees...Kalaila penduttu ,kullikakama ,kaaka pee la kulikkalam nu nenachu ponom...anaal first trekkin ...towards the highest peak of coorg...I again fell asleep on the way...i tried not to ..do but enjoy the lush green coffee plantations but in vain...u know only god can stop me...There finally we reachd some palace ...it was like a mediocre home..not a fascinatin place i suppose...Its outer view was not so invitin so decided to do away with it..
We aligheted from the van towards our tomb(hopefully not so)..as we came back in full pieces.. The captain muthu ..navigatin the place makin it feasible for us to follow..He's taken pains in gettin so much of knowledge abt the places..thnx to internet...
The journey strted not as usual ..it was not a gravel but a hard bound road...man quite unbelievable tht 2 in karnataka..We stuffed the bags with food water tons of snacks and were swindlin with carryin weight on our backs...We hardly managed to go abt 1 km...where we felt it was too much and everybody gave up..sittin on the road..We wondered where will this journey proceed to...Gettin our wits and energy back we continued again...Finally the roa abruptly ended and we were climbin the hilly patches..We went abt a km further where we were torn between 2 paths..We were confusd in decidin ...(in fact muthu anna was the one thinkin abt it)while we were makin merry takin fotos...the valley below was awesome with barren rocks in few places and greenery around...We took the right ...wrong ..roundabout path..and finally we were in a play ground...a small one with a volleyball court...
It was barren and there some peak climbd in front of us ..we thought it was the misty mountains..but we were wrong...we were gazin abt seein only peaks thinkin as which one we were 2 explore...and so decided to move on...
With some small stream...flowin..not exactly a stream but some spring water gushin in some places the road moved windingly and narrowly...We were stuck on the path with a mandaiodu...of some cow or somethin and took fotos of it...
The never endin journey continued and we pleadin to stop and take rest as the path ne'er ended...Muthu,Ekanth were cool climbers and were movin quite fast..me at the back not much experiencd along with rock dude,Rajkumar..were makin it slowly..The other guys were in between us...
We finally took some rest under the shades of trees and were restin for abt 10 mins..The wind blowin ..mind blowin..people danglin from trees..man it was a welcome sight...After takin enough rest we were again on our way...Pointin to the next hillock..which we thought as it was the one...We were ascendin in between trees which made me feel as if we were in amazon ..with trees around everywhere ..a tropical forest..Things strtd rollin pretty smoothly for us as we were takin rest at every possibly moment..especially me..got to pick up energy man..
The time moved infinitely ..some one told tht we ll be takin rest at an exponential time...i think we did tht..we were movin like ants gaspin for air at each and every moment...Then the final 1 km i suppose lay in front of us..The path was rugged and very creepy...with wind blowin everybody were lookin for some grasp...until there came another adventure 4 some of r chaps...They were visited by wild bees which were juz above their head...they calld for us and ducked their head coverin themselves with thundhu...doin all things so tht they cannot be heard...and vola in couple of secs..the bees were on their way..and we were makin it......makin..makin...finally reachd the pinacle..
We were on top of the World....man we did it...We were relinquishin the nature at the most and ne'er felt like comin down...There were few foreigners who were the others to climb the steep mountain..Man we made it....We decided 2 take some rest and had a pretty lunch ..awesome man...at this heights we were at r heights..We felt the power of nature and the pain can make u gain...
Whts pain?Pain is pleasure ..if there is no pain there is no pleasure ..this is true for everythin..unless u overcome pain ..world canot be enjoyed...
The climbin took us abt 3 and a half hrs...was a worthwile...Finally we decided to descend..every few meters tht we steppd down we gazed back again seein the hillock wondering whether we climbd it ...The more down we went we were amazed by the magnificience of the mountain...Our legs were sore..wantin for break...to rest prayin every moment tht the van muz be nearby ..but nonetheless...we MADE IT............
