We attempted this trek while visiting Coorg. We decided to drive in two wheelers till the base point from Madikeri, do the trek and return back to Madikeri on the same day to catch the return bus. But this was not a very good decision as the trek and the long drive completely exhausted the riders and really took a toll on some people's health. In case you want to attempt this trek from Madikeri, it is best to hire a cab with a driver so that you get some rest in your return journey. Another point was it is ideal to complete this trek before the mid day but we reached the base point so late that we had to do the trek in the scorching heat. Also the road till the base point being super skiddy is a real challenge to ride there with a pillion rider. Somehow we managed to reach the trek start point at around 10 am. We got some water bottles from the only shop at the base point and started our trek. Initially we took a nearly flat path through the forest. This part was shady and enjoyable till we reached the forest checkpost. Here we had to pay Rs 250 entry fee per person. They checked our bags for liquor and any prohibited items. We even had to submit our speakers which we collected while returning. From this point we faced the scorching heat. The long trees gave path to short shrubs and these hardly shielded the sunrays. Initially we went through a gently inclined path through the shrubs with little to no shade. The time being winter we had little to no greenery around us...but the view was still beautiful. We came up till the boulder point and then the path turned a bit steep. We got a small forest section again before our final climb and it is here that we rested for quite sometime. After sufficient rest and hydration we did our final climb till the peak. This climb was super slippery and we had to be extra careful while both climbing up and climbing down this section. The view from the peak was indeed beautiful but yes, it lacked greenery due to the season. Also the lack of shade made it a little less enjoyable even for a habitual trekker like me. In spite of all these the feeling of standing at the highest point of Coorg is something which made every hardship faced in the climb worthy. I won't say the trek is difficult...it was pretty easy. We were mostly exhausted due to the heat than the actual trek. I would strongly advice people to either go on or post monsoons but if in case you want to attempt it in winter try to start the trek early morning to avoid the sun. Also please carry at least 2 litres of water in your daypack (as there are literally no water sources in the trek) and wear proper trekking shoes.

Have to take local jeeps, even though expensive, to avoid messing ones own vehicle due crass roads and steep uphill drives. This is a viewpoint with a very little trek, carrying camera was worth it. A nominal 25/- was collected by the State Govt, maybe for upkeep charges. Sunrise and Sunset are the best times to visit this place. This place is best avoided during sunny/ hot weather. Also advisable not to litter.
