On 24 Feb’24, I embarked on my 1st trek with my schoolmates and teachers to Siddarabetta. We arrived at our base camp around 9:30 AM and enjoyed breakfast before meeting our trek guides from Trek Nomads and commencing the journey. Although the trek was long and tiring, I was still in high spirits. I reached the peak with encouragement from peers and was in awe of the mesmerizing view and scenery. We all took pictures as a memorandum. Our trek guides enlightened us about the Deccan Valley, and they also told us that we were 8 kilometres away from the Tamil Nadu border, sharing the intriguing tale about a boulder on the mountain that appears black from afar but reveals itself as white up close. It was a very interesting phenomenon that sparked curiosity in me. The lush vegetation around the hill added to its beauty. After a small break, we started our descent. After reaching the base camp, we had activities such as the rope obstacle course and rock climbing where I learned new techniques. We returned to the city whilst on the bus enjoying songs and dancing with my fellow mates. This day was a very memorable one which I will cherish!
