Destination : SAVANDURGA PEAK

Reason : In search of  "a better place to fall away from"

Buzzing Horns in Traffic
Tension from all corner
Crazy & Noisy crowds
Work pressure cookers
And Many more.( You too know the reasons )

We said a big bye to Bangalore at 9:00 AM and
Hello to Savandurga around 10:30 AM

In middle, we stopped at Big banyan tree (for breakfast) and near a lake on the way to savandurga (for photo-shoot)

Lake on the Way to savandurga

From Savandurga Base, we started our climbing session after drinking tender coconuts.

As we climbed 15 - 20 % of the peak, Our ancestors within us started showing their stunts..and results are below.

This is the time, we met our 6th participant "Kishor Jagirdar". 

A stranger who became friend & participant,  

"because of frequency match".

Kishor was here with his troop of students & since he was slow, he had advised his students to not wait for him..

We continued with chatters that mattered all the way along with the new participant.

Except me & swamiji , others started climbing the peak in hard way...by rapling on a steep rock.

(We did not take chance, Since we had hard earned DSLR's with us..)
