Enjoyed the Madhugiri Trek on 12-Jan-2019 led by the young, enthusiastic and caring trio of Prakrithi, Oshin and Yash from Plan the Unplanned (PTU) . Was a bit apprehensive that the trek would be scary...as per some of the google descriptions of the trek...however found the trek to be relatively simple and not at all scary. Two first timers in the group were also able to navigate the concerned stretch with relative ease. The trek was thoroughly enjoyable and extremely well managed by the trek leads...as usual, PTU continued to delight and exceed the expectations. The icing on the cake was the small detour to Devarayanabetta for the sunset and the 'awards ceremony with a twist'. This was my 7th trek with PTU and I am looking forward for many more such happy adventures with PTU.... - by Amit Dube for Madhugiri Fort Trek organized by Muddie Trails .
