twin peaks

17th September is nearing and from now it's no turning back.
Me along with few trekkers put up a plan to climb two peaks in one day.
Well I never did it before but great. Let's see how it works out


PLAN:-

5:15 AM from my place to Hebbal drive
6:00 AM start to Skandagiri and be at the base by 7:00 AM
7:15 Start the climb to skandagiri
Skandagiri Peak

Assuming it take 2 hours to climb the peak and takes another 1 hour to descend should take us approximately 4 hours for return journey with 1 hour as rest period.

11:45 AM start to tumkur via bypass.

on the way have light lunch and proceed to madhugiri.
Madhugiri Peak

travel time including lunch will be 2 hours 30 mins

start at 2:30 to climb madhugiri.

takes two hours to reach on top and return will be 1 hour 30 mins. half an hour rest at top and start down.

if we start at 5:00 from top then we should be back by 6:15 to 6:30 PM.


hmm.. still sound cool.


I'll keep my fingers crossed for rain no to spoil our sport.
