Trekking to Bakasuramalai (Hullikal Drug) and Droog

Asia » India » Tamil Nadu » Nilgiri December 30th 2013

This is the mountain that you see in the left side when you travel from Mettupalayam to Coonoor, also called as Hullikal Drug. The peak of this mountain has the ruins of the old fort used by Tipu Sultan (called as Droog fort) during the 16th century. It has an altitude of over 1900 metres and full of tea estates like Glendale and Nonsuch. I wanted to go trekking here for a long time, and yesterday I finally went there.. The trek was a wonderful experience and the scenery was marvellous.. The climb was steep and very difficult but it was finally rewarding as it gave me an unforgettable experience... Through these pictures I will take you through the same journey I went through and show you everything that I saw.. I had called my friends ... read more

Construo tolerancia nesta terra e gente estranha, adapto-me as circunstancias. Na Europa fico fulo quando algo nao funciona. Aqui fico feliz quando algo funciona. Sempre esta coisa da gestao de expectativas...... read more

Its been only couple of months since our last family holiday to south of Maharashtra.But then i had mandy scheduled in November during Diwali.It was good opppourtunity for yet another family outing.We discussed and concluded to go.After a few deliberations, we zeroed out on Ooty & Mysore.Main reasons were seasons of the year.We wanted to experience the best winter of the season one can get in India and whats better than Nilgiry Mountains.Since air fare contributes maximum to your travel cost, we fixed that first well in advance.The route was Mumbai-Coimbatore-Bangalore-Mumbai.In fact there is no alternate if you are visiting ooty & Mysore from Mumbai.Post that i searched for the stay and after a lot of research using Trip Advisor and other travelportals, picked up below 2 which were slated as The Best in respective locations. ... read more
