Operation trek failed , not the fun - Part 1

Kodachadri , the most awaited place to visit . Had been planing to visit the place for past 7 years and finally the moment had arrived. Vinnyk had sent that mail with selected set of invitee's. few of them turned down the invitation and finally 11 'brave' people were ready for the big one. None of us were ready for the painful but funfilled trek in midst of all the greenery in the world . even while travelling to our first destination ( Shivamogga ) , we were travelling in a AC bus :) .
Early morning we were in shimoga had some tea and headed for our destination 2 ( Saagar ) , we had to change the plan cos we wanted to go in the launch . That was breath taking ride with lone minibus travelling along the road and mist all around , hardly anything could be seen few meters away . In Saagar we had out breakfast 'buns' and boarded the bus which was heading towards nittur. after few minutes , the moment every one waiting for had arrived or we arrived there. the 'Launch' . we and our minibus got into the lauch for a short ride in sharavati backwaters and back on the road again. after few minutes we were waiting for a Jeep which would take us to Hill top in nittur . After having breakfast No.2 , a jeep was finally ready to take us to our final destination for the day , None of us knew what was in store on our way . We were there for trek and there we were travelling in a jeep. but something was striking in my mind , we had to trek and y r v travelling in jeep and those words came out of my mouth " this jeep might not be able to take all of us to hill top " and oh boy i had to repent for what i had said later . we had covered 10% of the climb on hill with a chilling scare and on one of the curve , the driver asked us to get down as jeep cannot pull all of us in . we put all our baggages in jeep and this is how our actual trek to kodachadri started . but we had to take rest for long time soon . The jeep where our baggages are being carried stopped in between due to some problem. Pushing jeep and trying to start also did not help. Now we had to trek with our backpacks
and some how we managed to do so for a while . Luckily we got signal on our mobiles and we were able to call a jeep which picked us and made sure we all reached hill top safely. a nice lunch @ uday's home and a cool nap followed.now we were ready for the day's activity. we trekked through the jungle to reach a small water fall where we took bath and proceeded towards Lord Ganesha Idol in the entrance of a cave . Furthur climb took us to 'sarvagna peetha' and from there we had to climb down to reach 'chitra koota' ( correct me here if i am wrong ) where we were expecting to see a nice sunset and we did see one.
spent a while there and started back our journey . already it was getting dark and by the time we came back to sarvagne peetha , it was complete dark and we had to trek back to uday's home in moon light and we managed to do so successfully . Got chance to listen and sing few good songs on our way.
We had few more hours before we go to bed . we watched Dr. Rajkumar movie in TV and later switched to Carrom for entertainment . then something was about to happen which we wont forget very soon . 'The Entertainer' Kulkarni and every one's favourite 'ThammaNNa' ( Aditya ) got together and then.... pishkya bishkya bishkya
