Trekking the Shiradi Ghats.

2 days, 55 km, rain and shine, trollies and trains, bridges and tunnels, bags and tents, MTR ready to eat and Cup-o-noodles and a never ending urge to get to Subhramanya Road from Sakleshpur on foot.
A set of photos taken during the trek along the ghat section in the Sakleshpur-Subrahmanya section, by Ramdev Gowda, Pawan Koppa and Bizzy Mishra.
