My Trekking experience

hi friends,

Here i am going to share my trekking experience i had in home town.
One day evening, that was my 6th semester holyday, I had a plan of going into the forest. So I told my plan to my friends, they suddenly accepted the plan. So my friends four of them got ready for the trekking on the next day. I didn’t tell anything about this to my parents because they never allow me to get into the forests. So with out telling to my parents i got ready in the early morning, I prepared some foods on my own, also I bought some foods from the hotel. We four of them gathered at one place, each one brought something to eat. We saw all the foods then we made a conclusion that this is enough for our break fast and lunch. Then we started our journey towards the western guards, it was about three Km from my home. We reached the foot of the hill by morning 7 o'clock.

One of my friend told me that,” from the foot the hill we have to walk some 2 hours to reach the falls", which can be seen from my village itself. we started walking on the way which going to the falls. That was my first time, I climbed the hill, and the way is about thirty to forty degree inclined vertically from the normal way. Before gone to the falls we took rest on two places, one is called "Pulikadavu", another one place is called "Naiparai".in the Naiparai we finished our break fast. So after two hours of walk, we reached the falls there only I saw the beauty of nature. The height of the falls is about more than 200 feet. The force of the water that comes out from the falls is so speedy. It will cut your head if you give your head in to the water. Then we had a bath in the “Keni”.Keni is a place in-between the river, which has more depth when compare to the other places of the river. We enjoyed there about two to three hours. After that we finished our lunch and we had nice sleep on the rocks.

It was about 2 o’clock we started walking from the falls towards the foot of the hill. You start now I will tell you the reason after we reach the land area. All my friends are started running, I confused why are they running? , I could not able to compete with my friends, because they were running so faster than me. Some what I managed and follow them with my best efforts. At about three o’clock we crossed the place called “otra puliya maram”.after that they stopped the running and started walking. Then I asked my friend why did you run up to that place? , then he answered my question, man that is the place where all the elephants will take the rest in the evening times. Also so many people have been killed by elephants in that specific place. While talking each other we heard the yawning sound of elephant, then we all stared running, because of the fear I defeated all my friends and reached the land area faster than my friends. Because of running we all got tired and started walking towards the river to drink some water. There my friend showed me a foot print of the elephant, one of my other friend told me that don’t speak loudly some elephants are roaming here. With in a few minutes I saw an elephant at a distance of 200 meter. Silently we vacated that place and we took all our cycles and started riding with more speed up to reaching the safer place. finally the adventurous journey comes to the end when we reached the home.
