WE HAD THE UNUSUAL EXPERIENCE OF BEING PICKED UP BY A BUS TO GO THE THE BIG BANYAN TREE AND WATER ACTIVITIES, ONLY TO FIND OUT SHORTLY AFTER THAT THIS TRIP HAD BEEN CANCELLED(WITHOUT OUR BEING NOTIFIED) AND WE WERE HEADING TO A FOREST OUTSIDE BANGALORE. WE WENT ALONG WITH THIS AS WE HAD GIVEN UP OUR DAY FOR OUTDOOR ADVENTURES. WE ENDED UP SPENDING 4-5 HOURS ON BUSES AND HAD 2 HOURS MAX ON BICYCLES.

WHEN WE ASKED FOR SOME DISCOUNT (1,000 RUPEE, 1/3 OF WHTA WE PAID) WITH THE ORGANISER, HE REFUSED, THOUGH HER DID SINCERELY APOLOGISE FOR THE MISTAKE.

ESCAPE TO EXPLORE SEEM LIKE AN ORGANISATION WITH GREAT POTENTIAL. THE BICYLCES ARE WONDERFUL QUALITY. THE STAFF FOR THE MOSTPART WERE EXCELLENT AND IT OFFERS A GREAT OPPORTUNITY FOR PEOPLE TO GET OUT IN THE WONDERS OF THE OUTDOORS IN KARNATAKA AT AFFORDABLE PRICES. I HOPE OUR EXPERIENCES WAS A ONCE OFF. DESPITE OUR DISAPPOINTMENT IN SOME REGARDS OF THE TRIP, WE STILL HAD QUITE AN ENJOYABLE DAY. - by BRYAN for Big Banyan Tree To Manchanabele Dam Cycling And Kayaking .

More than transportation or free food, the only reason people choose such organizers is because they can facilitate the trip process. The organizers here in our case recruited guys who seemed to be a complete novice and were of no use. Trip picked from Bangalore one hour late and at the toll gate, our tour guide made a delay of 30 mins further by quarreling and negotiating with regards to the toll fees whereas it was prominently mentioned in the LED board about the money. In the complete trekking process, we saw nowhere the tour guide in telling us the path. I wonder if they at all gone to the peak point. Overall it was a miserable and pathetic experience, I could have done the same by renting a cab. - by Satyabrat Nayak for Skandagiri Sunrise Trek organized by Escape2explore .

Co-ordination was good. Just after reaching lake we were not provided with life jackets for almost 1 hour and then driver asked us that we are late. Also the bus seats were not at all comfortable, don't even had arm rest.But apart from these minor issues overall trip was amazing. - by Shubham Gupta for Kunti Betta Sunrise Trek With Water Activities organized by Escape2explore .

It was a nice experience and everything was planned nicely. Just that we got 2 hours delayed in reaching back to Bangalore city. Otherwise we enjoyed it thoroughly. :) - by Shivani Chauhan for Kunti Betta Sunrise Trek With Water Activities organized by Escape2explore .

It was simply fantastic. The terrain is moderate/difficult. Luckily it's just 4 km uphill. But all pain was worth it since the sunrise you see is simply awesome. Very good group outing.. - by Satishkumar S Poojari for Skandagiri Sunrise Trek organized by Escape2explore .

Food ws not good. Quality of rice is poor. Kayakang not done for us reason we had unlimited starters. So we need to pay extra a 250 for that. Not perfectly organised party - by Avinash for Ramanagara Camping With Kayaking organized by Escape2explore .

Trek is nice but the bad part was we were made to start the trek too early around 2.15 am and when we reached the peak, there was still 2 hrs to sunrise. So that was 2 hrs of just waiting in midst of strong chilly winds which was very difficult. I think escape2explore guys should be more organized. If you are doing this night trek, I won't suggest to start this trek more than 3 hrs before sunrise. (i went around new year) - by Sanyam Jain for Skandagiri Sunrise Trek organized by Escape2explore .

The entire trip was truly amazing. The guides were really friendly and experienced. The food was really good, for the amount we paid. Overall, it's worth every rupee. - by Akhil Poojary for Manchinbele Day Adventure organized by Escape2explore .

The trek was awesome. The trail is very clean and nice. Kannika homestay they had booked was extremely good. Especially the coffee and tea provided by the homestay were just excellent. The trek leader was an 18 year old kid. We did not face any problem from him and he also tried to be good to us. But he was very shy to talk to any of us and due to his age, he was not professional as well. He also struggled a bit to maintain timings. - by Bharath S for Kumara Paravatha Trek organized by Escape2explore .

It was nice but the time spent for water activities was very less .could have been more interesting if the time could have been more. - by ANITA HEMBRAM for Narayangiri Sunrise Trek with water activities organized by Escape2explore .

It was a wonderful experience. The trek in the night on the rocky path was a bit strenuous on the not so used legs;-) especially to my son who was doing it for the first time. But all the pain is worth it, to witness the sunrise and to see that you are standing above the clouds makes up for everything else. We were kept well informed about the itinerary right from the time we booked online. Our guide Mubarak was remarkable, he made sure that everyone made it to the peak in time, as there were few who wanted to give up mid way, he stayed back with them, motivated them and ensured that they also could witness the wonderful sight. - by VRUSHABENDRA B for Skandagiri Sunrise Trek organized by Escape2explore .
