A group of 80 undergrad students, just a day to execute the trekking programme and the institution being JIPMER !!!
We had many reasons not to take this one up (short notice, too large a group !) but just one reason for taking the challenge and that being a reference from a happy customer !!! That did it !
So, once we got a call from Mr Prassanna (JIPMER) on 22nd Jan 2012 for a trekking adventure on 23rd, we got to work assembling our team with just 24 hours to go. We decided to go with our veteran guides who have been with us for more than 3 years Mr Muthu and Mr Shivaraj.
The mandate was to take these “future doctors” deep into the jungles completely out of civilization and provide them the greatest healing of all – NATURE ! Ofcourse we still wanted to get the entire group of 80 back in one piece and so we set out on the adventure with a total of 5 guides (6 including me) to get the ratio to 13:1 .
We had instructed the group to be ready with packed lunch by 8am on the 23rd. We left for our destination in 2 buses 35 kms away from Kodaikanal town.
On the way the group had a very close sighting of a lone Bison .
Iam not describing the adventure anymore with words since as the saying goes, a picture is worth a thousand words !!!!
Gradually watch them slide away from the luxuries of the city and getting caught offguard by the intensity of raw wilderness !!!!
AND FINALLY REACH THE POOL OF PARADISE !!!
