Rahul Kocchar

The trails were challenging and a bit moderate. It takes quite an effort to reach the top of the peak. The views from there are great and we stayed there for a while and trek back to our base camp. The decent trekking was fun but challenging. The homestays are clean and decent with basic amenities. The food served at night was tasty and we enjoyed it.

The trek has some great scenic beauty and was very beautiful. Hiking was a bit moderate but the trail was looking mesmerizing. At some point it was narrow and steep, the rest of the trek was easy.

This trek looks more beautiful after the monsoon, as because of the rainfall the scenario becomes completely covered with lush greenery and there are a variety of flowers to be seen there. It was a great experience trekking here.

This is been first trek ever I had attempted and could complete successfully, we enjoyed it the most and had a great time there. I would love to do more such trek with Thrillophilia. The bonfire was good and lovely. Trekking becomes worth when you reach the top and see the view from top. Its really relaxing. Such a beautiful place with this amazing and knowledgeable guide, we enjoyed his company and he helped us to click many group photos, must go there as this is beyond then anything.

It was a nice trip, and was my first experience to the coorg. The breath taking views, nature. This puts you and your determination into test. Most of the folks fail to reach the peak as they give up. But, I must say if you try challenging your ability only then you can conquer this nishani motte. overall it was a nice experience and definitely recommend you all.

It was my first trek and the team leader was very understanding. Made sure I was comfortable at every stage. We walked back through the woods and then through the fields giving a glimpse of the village, which made it even better.
