Summary: Travelled with my two female friends from Chennai right at the time cyclone Fengal was happening. The ecohikes team (Naveen and Ravi) were very kind enough to re-assure us that the trek would happen no matter what and it would be safe for us too. True to their word, from the base to the peak, eventhough we were a small member troop and the weather wasn't particularly very beginner friendly (only because of the cyclone), the team made sure each one of us made it through with full josh. It was refreshing to see how connected they were with nature and with the people of the village(most importantly). It is truly a feeling lot of us seldom forget to find within us. Each and every occassion during the trek holds a close place in my heart. Words or pictures definitely will not do justice to the experience I had. Speaking of pictures, one can be rest assured about having clicked the perfect picure at the perfect moment, courtesy of the team members. Looking forward to trekking more with the Ecohikes tribe.

Summary: Great experience. Loved everybit of it ranging from the starting base village to the peak. Stargazing, clouds, sunrise and sunset that you witness as part of the trek will be etched in your mind forever. It's been a day since this is done and I am already missing being in the mountains and the people. it's an easy to moderate trek so it's ideal for beginners. The whole team of ecohikes are so good. Definitely consider opting for this trek without a doubt.
