Kalwar Betta

It had been a while since I stretched my self.

So after hosting an elaborate dinner party at home I had half a mind to call Aditi and tell her I can't make it for the trek at Kalwar Betta, this was @ 12:45 pm when suddenly I realized there was a time when I could go on a trip without even half an hour of sleep. So I got up made some food and asked them what time we leave ?---I am glad I made the choice I made.

Kunal, Aditi, Dharma and I set out for Kalwar Betta @ 2:30 am from Bangalore. The excitement started early on the journey when we realized it was a great time to call our friends living on the other end of the globe and had an amazing phone session with Sai and Niti.

After parking our car at a temple on the foot hill we started walking towards the base, not knowing which one of the many peaks in front of us was the main peak to be climbed. We chose the one which seemed the highest.

A lot of people warned us not to venture until day light said that there were groups stuck mid way not knowing what to do.

But we had adventure on our minds so, we set out to climb only to realize mid way that it was not the peak that we actually should be climbing and than we changed our course.

It was a beautiful morning and the gods painted one of the best sunrises I have witnessed.

Though...multiple times during the climb I gave up and every time Aditi and Dharma would not let me and than we finally reached the top and it was so beautiful that I silently thanked them both for not letting me stop mid way !
