what happened next has been written in detail by Praveen . we waited for few more minutes to make sure tammaNNa is asleep . We had to get up early morning to have a glimplse of the sunrise , but not everyone were ready for that . Uday promised us that he'll wake us up early morning , as early as 5 AM. we had a nice nap then on and got up early and found that Uday was no where to be seen. Pradeep accompanied us ( Me , vinnyk , Raghu Mama , shyam and Baluchigi). After a small trek we reached the peak to see one of the finest sunrise i had seen
I Felt pity for those who could not make it to this spectacular sunrise . we ate delicious 'avalakki' ( packed from Uday's house ) and some photo session there . Shyam was trying to teach juggling to raghu mama. I am sure Raghu mama will learn that soon and challenge shaym ( shyam watch out ) . We had to trek back now to uday's house .
Now the Big question was , what to do next . When we came back , again we saw thammNNa amidst us. We forcibly made Kulkarni wake up and during breakfast , it was decided that we'll roam around for a while till 2 noon and head back to Bangalore . So we went near the IB and there through some bushes we climbed a small hill to reach a view point , only after reaching there we found out we were attacked by leeches. we decieded that was the end of trek for the day . we came back to Uday's house ( only harish went for a small trek ) , played carrom for a while , took bath there and again played carrom till lunch . And after that , time had come to say good bye to Uday's family. after couple of group photoes , we hopped onto the jeep that would take us back to the place where we had to catch bus for Shivamogga. Once again it was thrilling jeep ride , luckily for us the jeep did not face any problems on the way and few minutes later we were waiting for Bus to Shivamogga. we did'nt had to wait long as we got a bus soon . while traveling in that bus , everyone was thrilled after the news was heard that south africa had lost 6 wickets for less than 100 runs. But soon one more news followed , South africa gave a target of 200+ runs for India to chase . After nice dinner in Shivamogga , we headed towards Railway station . we were happy to see our old friend 'Ram Pa' who was traveling to Bangalore on the same train . We talked for a while before going to sleep. Got up only when we reached Bangalore , where we said good bye to everone with a enthusiasm to meet again for such a venture some time soon . Not to forget Uday and his Family. Speical thanks to them for all the help we got from them.
The title says " Operation trek failed ..." that's because , the original plan was to trek one complete side either from bottom to top or top to bottom of the hill . what ever we had trekked was nothing when compared to the original plan . That made me take the liberty to give such a title, anywez we enjoyed every moment of the time spent there . That was second Major outing from our group and third one is coming soon...........................
