My second CTC trek to NAGALAPURAM

Hi,
Greetings !!
Finally I went for second trip with CTC for trekking on 2ns August. For going that trek, I was very excited and started preparing 2 days before. On final night before trek means on 1st Aug i went for sleep on 1am in night and woke up at 2am. You may think 1 hr sleep, Yes total hours I slept was 1hr. That night I returned from lab at 8pm had food and went to gurunath for shopping some snacks, chocolates, glucose and battery for LED torch. I returned my room at 9:30 pm,started packing bag, took night bath and again went to my friend Vadiraj room(he was also joining trek with me) at 11:00 pm . I returned to my room at 12:30 pm and checked final packing as suggested for one day trek. At 3AM we started from hostel to main gate of IIT Madras by cycle. Wow, at 3 am morning how awesome the campus looking.

This is just single snap of road we took. We saw black buck, which is generally appears in night. Finally we ware on main gate of IITM at 3:15. Our pickup point time was 3:30 so we ware in hurry. We walked towards Madhya-Kailash after parking our cycle at parking stand near main gate. We took 10 minute to reach Madhya-Kailas. We ware the first one who reached there. After some time some more people from CTC joined us. As our pickup point was 3:30 but the CTC group reached there at 4:20 in morning. This happened because of some confusing of pickup-point option people has filled during registration for trekking. From CTC group santhosh came out from car and took attendance of present people and told their seat in car/bike. I knew santhsosh because he was on Nagala15 trek. I got seat in his car and we started from Madhya-Kailash to Guindy. From guindy they pickup more guys and finally reached a common place(sorry i don't know name of that place) where other groups waiting for us. There sathosh and other organizer collected 700 bucks for trek from all. They loaded food item and water bottle into different cars. Finally we started from there at 5:20 in the morning. We reached Nagalapuram at 8am.

Once we reached there, i just surprised because it was same place where I already came in Nagala15. But other thing was only few people ware there from Nagala15, so I was just feeling new environment. They started distributed food and water bottle at parking place itself, because from there we had to walk towards base of mountains. In food item curd rice, sanvar rice, chapati with anchar and in fruit apple was available. This is first time i saw Poppins chocolate. Other item was glucose, chipps and drinking water bottle. I took one savar rice, one chapati pack with 2 apple, 2 water bottle, 2 Poppins and one chipps packet.
Finally we reached breakfast point near waterfall, where some people started breakfast and some started playing in water. I also jump into water and started enjoying swimming. The water was falling from more than 50 feet.
We were enjoyed around one hr and then started climbing mountain. Me and my friend reached at top in 20 minute and then took 10 minute rest and waiting for few guys who was behind us. Then we started moving down in other direction to reach water-stream. During climb down I got some scratch from thorn, because we had to cross in between deep thorn. Once we reached at water-stream, I just washed my face with natural cold water and drink some water. We took 10 minute rest and started moving ahead. Some photographer started their photographic as they started getting most awesome natural beauty. I didn't bring any cam, so I was keep moving ahead with enjoying walk. I was just feeling, I can't express in word...but I always like to seat on top of mountain and watch whole world as small. Any way after walking 30-40 minute we got another danger point where we had to cross very care. It was danger in the sense, we had to cross a area where keeping our foot was only few inches and nothing was to hold except flat rock. On the other side deep water pond was there. Some first time trekker was very scared. but other people helped them. We crossed all luggage first by human chain and then we helped the people wh was scared. Few who don't wanted to cross using rock, they cross by swimming. Once all crossed, we moved ahead for another waterfall. The coming waterfall was vary good because there was one natural slipping point, from where you can slip into waterfall from top. We reached there in 15 minute walk. Once people reached there, organizer announced this is the final point and we are not going ahead. So enjoy here as much as you can. I just took off my cloths and started slipping from slipping point as I missed this fun in Nagala15 because of swimming. This time I practiced swimming in our campus itself, so no fear was there. I slipped 2-3 times and then jumped from around 15 feet top to same fall. It was amazing experience. I jumped in Nagala15 also.

We ware there till 2-3 hrs. After swimming and fun I took my lunch sanvar rice and chapati with anchar. And took some rest as we had to returned. We started moving back to breakfast point. We reached the same water-stream where we climbdown from hill while coming. This time organizer wanted too use same trick what Peter used in Nagal15 that in place of take one and half hr to climb and climb down to reach breakfast point, all trekkers will climbdown 50 feet flat hill. Once all trekkers saw that location from top to
down, they started scared. But few experienced trekkers started giving encouragement. Finally decided to make people chain on that flat hill and pass the all luggage first.
Once the luggage finished, people started climb down by using help of other people. It took 30-40 minutes to climb all trekkers from top. Once all climb down, people started playing with water. And some took some group photo. We were stayed another 1 hr and finally started to returning. We reached campus 12 PM at IITM main gate and took our cycle and reached room at 12.20AM. I was very tired, so I got sleep as I went to bed. Nice day !! Hope for next trek soon....
