点评:Recently got the opportunity to visit Kodachadri. Initially we had planned to trek from the forest check post to Hidlumane Falls and cross it to ultimately reach the Kodachadri Peak. But unfortunately, there were some issue with the forest permits and we got to separately take a jeep ride to the summit and separately trek till Hidlumane Falls.
We reached our homestay early morning and after an hour or so, we got picked up by our jeep. Our jeep had to wait for a few minutes at the forest check-post and then we set off on our thrilling jeep ride. The ride took almost 1.5 hours to ride to reach the peak's parking and from there we had to trek for 1 km or 2 through the misty mountains to reach the peak. The peak had a small temple and a beautiful area to hangout with your group. If visiting in monsoon, the view around will be mostly blocked by the clouds but the misty mountains will appear truly magical.
We got to spend around 30 min before we hiked down and our jeep drove us back to the base point. After that, we were guided through a different route to Hidlumane waterfalls. We trekked for almost 2 or 3 km through dense forest till we reached the checkpost and another 1.5 km led us to the waterfalls. The waterfalls was falling in several tiers and it was extremely challenging to cross the slippery boulders to reach the final tire of the falls. I strongly advise people to be a part of a professional group and wear proper trekking gear while trying to cross this section of the trek as a simple slip can lead to serious accidents here. We spent some beautiful moments getting drenched in the waterfalls and finally climbed down the treacherous boulders to reach back to the checkpost.
翻译:最近有机会参观了科达查德里峰。最初,我们计划从森林检查站徒步前往希德鲁马内瀑布,然后穿过瀑布,最终到达科达查德里峰。但不幸的是,森林许可证出了点问题,我们不得不分开乘坐吉普车登顶,然后再分开徒步前往希德鲁马内瀑布。
我们清晨到达寄宿家庭,大约一个小时后,吉普车来接我们。我们的吉普车在森林检查站等了几分钟,然后我们开始了惊险刺激的吉普车之旅。我们花了将近一个半小时才到达山顶的停车场,然后又需要徒步穿越雾蒙蒙的山脉一两公里才能到达山顶。山顶上有一座小寺庙和一个美丽的地方,适合与团队一起闲逛。如果在雨季前往,周围的景色大部分会被云层遮挡,但雾蒙蒙的山脉会显得格外神奇。
我们花了大约 30 分钟的时间才下山,然后吉普车把我们送回了基地。之后,我们被引导着走了一条不同的路去 Hidlumane 瀑布。我们穿过茂密的森林徒步了将近 2 或 3 公里,才到达检查站,再走了 1.5 公里就到了瀑布。瀑布分为几层,要穿过湿滑的巨石到达瀑布的最后一层极具挑战性。我强烈建议大家加入专业团队,并在尝试穿越这一段路程时穿着合适的徒步装备,因为在这里,一个简单的滑倒都可能导致严重的事故。我们在瀑布里度过了一些美好的时光,浑身湿透,最后爬下危险的巨石,回到了检查站。
