With the agreement of all, we planned to trek this place .<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Ok , It was morning 6 :30 , n we had all planned to meet at Kalasipalyam (market) , aditya n me met in the same bus to Kalasipalya , n Rohith in the bus stand of Kalasipalya , But its not that easy to meet people in market :) , Yshanth had come long before but we were not able to find him in that big crowded place ,(mainly crowded with buses ) . Finally with a bit of struggle we all were able to meet n it was like finding ur lost brother in mini Kumbh mela :) , Anyways we were happy that we all met each other n our trek had finally a beginning .<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We got the Bus to Magadi from Kalasipalya (market) around 7:45 am , ok here Adi had small game to play , We had to guess what will be the traveling cost to Magadi from Kalasipalya , everyone guessed , mine was the closest :) I had guessed 20Rs , It was actually 18Rs . Savandurga is about 60Km west of Bangalore , We had to go to Magadi first to reach there which was about 45 to 50 km from Bangalore.<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">At the starting point Bus was empty ,but as we reached nearer to Magadi , it got filled up . While nearing to Magadi we got beautiful view of Savandurga and many huge rocks ,which gave the initial kick for the trek .<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We reached Magadi at 9:45 , We had to have our breakfast , so we searched for good hotel , This is a kind of village , u wont find good or hygienic hotel , somehow we got one managable hotel , To our surprise food was pretty good , but warning be careful about Masala Dosa here , (its not that good n dipped in oil :) )<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCcuTeHaE46u6Ph_8K93G4BWFTD_Yg1sW0FCEwxOsQ1iGW-9xizppbrHCMVauLEHm0RuUhDCIaYF09lDb5lj3vHjWnem0FiH4M4KNJLugoeU4yt8kSfKtKKE-SjIXmxNT9d6KzYWP0Nmk/s1600-h/Picture1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjCcuTeHaE46u6Ph_8K93G4BWFTD_Yg1sW0FCEwxOsQ1iGW-9xizppbrHCMVauLEHm0RuUhDCIaYF09lDb5lj3vHjWnem0FiH4M4KNJLugoeU4yt8kSfKtKKE-SjIXmxNT9d6KzYWP0Nmk/s320/Picture1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227780028895481090" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We packed for ourselves a few pound of Bread , biscuits , but Adi is addicted to Curds !!!!! :) so we had to search for it , n finally with a lot of search we got Curds . Still we were in Magadi , We had to go to Savadurga by bus , we dint know how to go , asked few people there and came to know that we have to go to Nayakanpallya and from there to Savandurga . Adi had maintained an Itinerary !! so according to Itinerary we were at the right time leaving that place , so we reached a place called Nayakanpalya around 11:15 am , There I had to buy a liter of water , after that we left to Savandurga which is around 4 km inside that village .We reached there by auto , 10 Rs per head with a minimum of 6 people in auto , so we had to share with few others .<br /></div><br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-20JD2v_nyOoyOoxpwy3DwbdcDQHATp3vEy7t5ggq9ZA2QA2ENgYf-PhyphenhyphenWAtJk_ZL0eutAFHn4h8zgy31Wj946OKYGiKxbm7HrY2ErO74baTxLce1iQ3QMWLwcXi4H8wKyBYMxgpDFo/s1600-h/collage1.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjJ-20JD2v_nyOoyOoxpwy3DwbdcDQHATp3vEy7t5ggq9ZA2QA2ENgYf-PhyphenhyphenWAtJk_ZL0eutAFHn4h8zgy31Wj946OKYGiKxbm7HrY2ErO74baTxLce1iQ3QMWLwcXi4H8wKyBYMxgpDFo/s320/collage1.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227783451564605426" border="0" /></a><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Anyways when we were about to approach that place , we got very near to Savandurga hill , Rohith exclaimed saying "man!! , rock seems to be too smooth" . We discussed a bit why it is so smooth :) just enjoyed every discussion we had after so many years .<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ct1kteo_A4vnWe-tzHHr9hPxPIhmUJO2boR3GgCPcCX8wpKExQi2siwvqqjiOpxwkJCXhZfJPEP4pSLYV_m3XoBWfSwe6JxJTcAHZDQsGW8OhnHaU1B0kr8E_VfSsizq8VzqDtTI5Yg/s1600-h/Picture9.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2Ct1kteo_A4vnWe-tzHHr9hPxPIhmUJO2boR3GgCPcCX8wpKExQi2siwvqqjiOpxwkJCXhZfJPEP4pSLYV_m3XoBWfSwe6JxJTcAHZDQsGW8OhnHaU1B0kr8E_VfSsizq8VzqDtTI5Yg/s320/Picture9.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227784436158347442" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We reached the foothill , there we had plan to trek a rock called Karigudda ( very rarely people trek this place ,though it is very adjacent to Biligudda that most people trek ) , We were in a mood of adventure we wanted to trek the least trekked place. People in that very place has confusion as to which is karigudda n which is Biligudda, With the help of a good Auto driver named Rajesh (really helped us ), who guided us in right direction . We paid some money at the counter and we were on our way .<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We were on our way to summit of Karigudda, I have trekked previously but the problem here which I was facing was I had this huge luggage on my back and I had cold, but I dint want any excuses to dampen my spirit . There was no direction as to where to begin with , we got lost in the starting only !! and we got to hear famous dialog from Adi ,i.e. dead end. wherever u go , he use to shout Dead End :)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">But our lucky mascot with good omen for the day was Rohith , he used to lead us to the correct way . ok finally we started the best part , i.e. climbing the rock , I could sense the steep in the starting only ( I am not as good a trekker as others are :) ) The biggest problem with me was the luggage or say bag which I was lifting on my back , It was taking a toll on my body , by 1/4th stage I declared I cannot continue with this bag around , but I was in no mood to quit , I took a chance and with the help of Adi I hid my bag behind the tree plunk , We were pretty sure ,no one would take the bag , because it was that a deserted area :) . So we continued , We were amazed at every part of the nature that was getting revealed as we were going to the top .<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoS-6THjyOAa1B910bHVW6y7ZfFU71oJGlfhutFfAXXkfK523H0xplMMD22vd-0m0ClwEW45RamwuDDCDh7Pl7qMUVSG1XkFM1v5bB3Nw-4ic_t06NvIRfGmJKqxooOMS6L35kg5OaswY/s1600-h/collage5.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjoS-6THjyOAa1B910bHVW6y7ZfFU71oJGlfhutFfAXXkfK523H0xplMMD22vd-0m0ClwEW45RamwuDDCDh7Pl7qMUVSG1XkFM1v5bB3Nw-4ic_t06NvIRfGmJKqxooOMS6L35kg5OaswY/s320/collage5.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227788036269491442" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">I was going out of breath at many places because of tiredness, but we took very short breaks in between .

We saw some erased paint marks on rocks so it was confirmed that some human being had been to this place before Phew !! :) Then after few min we reached a cave kind of thing , everyone exclaimed by the beauty of it .

But still it was not over, We were almost at the peak , but still somehow we were not satisfied , we felt this is not the top , then we gazed our eyes to the marking on the rock and we were amazed to see the slight grips made on the rock which is in the above picture , It was scary at first to climb , one slip and we are into deep hole (again u can see in the pic , me climbing), from where one can recover only bones(that is also doubtful) . We carefully with the help of grip step by step we reached the summit , top point of the hill , MAN !!! we reached it and woooooooow amazing beauty .

It was already around 2 :00 clock and sun was showing up and temperature was raising , so we thought of finding some shade to have our light lunch . In 15 min we managed to find a good place , there we had biscuits , bread and atlast we had half a packet of curd and we used our very little water which was left very carefully ( we had almost finished our water), after having curds we felt somewhat energized again. Thanks to curds and thanks to Adi for his addiction to it :)<br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTJDWaUuqjWTgprwN4ZwMhh96VLKl_JwAJKrDfiD1im8bMsjae2OBfI4ms_pRTiVGeOwwZR81StToRNV8ihT0hPLwMM7eTx-BNOK5Dae59Ag35jfc8bJ2NOMqEkjpV5rbnOAHZ_QMCoY/s1600-h/Pictureaxcfg.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiUTJDWaUuqjWTgprwN4ZwMhh96VLKl_JwAJKrDfiD1im8bMsjae2OBfI4ms_pRTiVGeOwwZR81StToRNV8ihT0hPLwMM7eTx-BNOK5Dae59Ag35jfc8bJ2NOMqEkjpV5rbnOAHZ_QMCoY/s320/Pictureaxcfg.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227796368774575922" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTgRWTuZYJjd86IlN5BH_Hl-ojUJ_qtDrOYiQ_OZQeDXj1Z_Ro6llEugbEaba1WrunP93wKIgTZvraKDuCmt0lbUtr7HYpSAX6SmDuIztTW_sR2Ln3zY6T-mlxywQOYiJGBN10w3Shzw/s1600-h/Picturecfder.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhqTgRWTuZYJjd86IlN5BH_Hl-ojUJ_qtDrOYiQ_OZQeDXj1Z_Ro6llEugbEaba1WrunP93wKIgTZvraKDuCmt0lbUtr7HYpSAX6SmDuIztTW_sR2Ln3zY6T-mlxywQOYiJGBN10w3Shzw/s320/Picturecfder.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227794085662554802" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">We kept all non-biodegradable stuff inside (**very important guys** Its our responsibilty to keep nature clean .) Climbing down was pretty easy , actually lot easier than climbing up , but I was almost down and out , my legs were shaking for every step ( I dint have confidence in my knees because of recent accident) . I took my time and went down slowly compared to others , To say I slowed down others pace ,because u know The speed of the whole system depends on the speed of the slowest part in the system :) , We reached the bottom of the hill around 3:45 p.m. We missed the guy selling coconut water , thought we will have that when we are back , unfortunately he had shut his shop for that day :)<br /></div><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">But we enjoyed like anything , meeting after so many years , talked so much , shared so much , just enjoyed every bit of it and many thanks to yshanth who took the manager role and managed everything so well .<br /><br /></div><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleO-_D5mfwrF66X3vFLUEQ8JfO1oI64G3DJRAvHCRc3ppQMMVfjhjBtOdXGK4mdWnrAjDfUukISsfoDkKiERgFa1MtfgxHVfnot-sHMm6mVE6F6eEoObtxASS_RZ6kH4TcYdlVQDxa4w/s1600-h/Pidassacture.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjleO-_D5mfwrF66X3vFLUEQ8JfO1oI64G3DJRAvHCRc3ppQMMVfjhjBtOdXGK4mdWnrAjDfUukISsfoDkKiERgFa1MtfgxHVfnot-sHMm6mVE6F6eEoObtxASS_RZ6kH4TcYdlVQDxa4w/s320/Pidassacture.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5227794563416823682" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div style="text-align: justify;">Finally our first day trek was hugely successful . We went back to Magadi , There we stayed in a hotel, 250 Rs per room and gave a rest to our body for second trek that is Biligudda ,the next day.
