My first hike started on this trail when I was 13,

My first hike started on this trail when I was 13, alone, thanks to my dad who gave me all the freedom from that age. I just did it 2 times after that, but this year is kinda fun where I finished it 10 times just this season.

120+ kms, 12,000+ elevation gain, 40+ hours, maintaining an average pace of 4 hours.
Setting my personal record of 2 hr 45 mins completing the whole trail.

10 times I got to experience this one trail in different aspects. 9 out of 10 times was all alone. Tired 2 times repeat but ended up getting food poisoning, finishing 1 3/4 times. Two times in one week, just after a day.

Sunrise and sunset, while other people were standing in the shade, I still didn’t stop in the rain. Stargazing, running through clouds and heavy winds, experiencing lightning strikes.

Ran, walked, crawled, and slid down.

The best thing is that I celebrated my birthday up the mountain alone, turning 18, best birthday ever. Made good friends on the trail.

A lot of memories in one place. Gonna miss it till next year.

Hey folks, it's been quite a while since I last sh

Hey folks, it's been quite a while since I last shared a tale with you all. Kickstarting Hiller's Voyage again in action!

Let me take you on a journey with me as I conquered Villiangiri once again this year, after a year-long break. The adventure began around 5:30 in the morning. By 6:50, I was already at the starting point, eager to hit the trail. With the clock ticking around 7, I set off with determination bubbling within me.

I was on a mission to beat my previous record of summiting the entire mountain in 4 hours. But this time, I wasn't just aiming to break it; I was determined to shatter it. With every step, I pushed myself harder, shouting words of encouragement into the wind.

The toughest part of the journey was tackling the three mighty mountains with their steep inclines. The trail was a mix of stairs and rugged paths, challenging me at every turn. I kicked into high gear, running through the leveled plains until I reached the 6th point. The 5th mountain greeted me with a thick mist, enveloping everything in a mysterious haze.

Then came the ultimate test: the final mountain, with its slippery slopes and daunting ascent. But I wasn't about to back down. With grit and determination, I powered through, reaching the summit in a blazing 1 hour and 44 minutes. As I stood atop it, I soaked in the mesmerizing views of the Western Ghats, stretching as far as the eye could see. And, oh, the sight of a cloud bed was simply surreal!

After savoring the moment for a good 20 minutes, I reluctantly began my descent, realizing that it was nearing 10 in the morning. Racing against time, I made my way down swiftly, completing the descent by 10:12 AM.

But the adventure didn't end there. Now, I can proudly say that I conquered the entire challenging trail, spanning 13 to 14 kilometers, in a jaw-dropping 2 hours and 46 minutes.

The entire experience was nothing short of exhilarating. I even tried out some trail running techniques, like maintaining a T-shape posture. And let's not forget my trusty hydration bag, ensuring I stayed hydrated with its 2-liter capacity.

Another adventure in the books, with many more to come. Follow @hillersvoyage for more adventure.

Mountain Bliss: Nature's Serenade of Beauty Mount

Mountain Bliss: Nature's Serenade of Beauty

Mountains, and the beauty, lift our spirits. Their majestic peaks seek the heavenly spheres as they pierce the heavens. We find relief from the hectic bustle of daily life in their presence, as their peaceful embrace pulls us into a realm of peace. Our lungs are filled with clean mountain air, which gives our senses a revitalizing vibrancy. As we hike along their routes, we discover the hidden waterfalls, fragile wildflowers, and breathtaking panoramas. Mountains teach us to treasure the fundamental link between our souls and the natural world, bask in the splendor of creation, and find refuge on their serene slopes.

Velliangiri Hills can be considered relatively mod

Velliangiri Hills can be considered relatively moderate in height compared to some other mountain ranges. The main peak of Velliangiri, known as Siva Hill, has an elevation of around 1,577 meters (5,174 feet) above sea level. While it may not be as towering as some of the prominent peaks in the Himalayas, it still holds cultural and spiritual significance for the people in the region.

To the best of my knowledge, the Velliangiri Hills, are not commonly associated with the concept of "7 hills." They are typically referred to as a mountain range rather than specifically mentioning seven distinct hills.

However, local folklore or religious beliefs may have different interpretations or stories regarding the hills. If there is a specific belief or tradition related to the seven hills in Velliangiri, it would be more appropriate to consult local sources or individuals familiar with the region for accurate information.

Just had an amazing trek in the mountains. Sorry for the late post, but it was totally worth it! The view was breathtaking. Hiked for 4 hours, while @irunandcycle, a super-fit hiker did it in just 2 hours and 19 minutes and also hiked for 33 hours straight. Impressive, right?

Let me take you through the highlights of my adventure. My trek began with my dad dropping me off at the bus stand, and I had limited cash on hand since I don't usually carry much when I go out. Opting for a shared auto-rickshaw for 20 to reach the trail's starting point, I paid 100 rupees, which was all I had for the entire trip.

The excitement surged within me as I reached the destination, prompting me to sprint towards the trail, leaving the concerns of my lost return money behind. The beauty of the mountains was absolutely awe-inspiring! I immersed myself in the breathtaking views.

But here's the thing: the mountain trail needs cleaning up. Nature is a gift, and we should take care of it. So, I'm organizing a clean-up campaign. Join me in preserving the beauty of the trail and making a positive impact on the environment. Let's protect and appreciate nature together!

Stay tuned for updates on the campaign. Let's do this!

Spiders living in groups in a forest pit! Amazing

Spiders living in groups in a forest pit! Amazing find!

Today while exploring the forest, I discovered something rare and fascinating - a group of spiders living together in a pit! I apologise for the poor video quality. Most spiders are solitary creatures, there are some species that live in social groups. I'm not sure which species of spiders I found, but it was amazing to see them living and working together. I never knew spiders could be so unique and interesting!

Thogai Malai is a mountain that is located in Kemm

Thogai Malai is a mountain that is located in Kemmarampalayam, Karamadai. It has an altitude of about 640 meters. You don't require any official permission to trek this mountain. You are more than welcome to come along with kids, family, and friends to envelop yourselves in the peaceful experience.

There is a pathway that leads upwards, they are manmade stairs with black stones. During your journey up, you will walk across plains with the same stone setting, however, it will be a bit eroded due to water. You will then be entering a dense forest filled with trees, which will lead you to an off road trail all the way to the top.

P.S. Do not miss out on the flowers surrounded by bushes on your way up! It's quite a sight! Once you have almost reached the peak in the last session of the trek, you will find yourself surrounded by a lot of grass.

The great news is that the mountain has its own temple, called the Thogai Malai Ranganathar Temple, where you can pray, worship, and meditate freely.

If you run out of water, you don't need to worry since there's a huge tank right at the top to fulfill your needs (for drinking purposes, of course). Just look out for the ants in the water; you do not want to get surprised.

Overall, it is close to an hour's journey uphill if you are slow at trekking. Once you reach the top, you will see that it offers a panoramic view of the Western Ghats with a 360-degree overlook. DM us to get in touch.

Melmudi, which is on Kurudi Mountain, has an altit

Melmudi, which is on Kurudi Mountain, has an altitude of 1500 feet, according to Google Terrain View. During the Tamil month of Puratasi (Sept.–Oct.), it is accessible to anyone; however, during other months, we need permission from the forest department.

There are two trails or ways leading to it, one from the Thadagam region and the other near Palamalai Ranganathar Temple. After arriving at the Melmudi Ranganathar temple, you can hike up to Nadukandapoli, the mountain's highest peak, where you'll have a beautiful vista of the entire city of Coimbatore. The Thadagam Trail is simpler than the alternate path.
The trail can be divided into simple sections: the base forest, the plains, and the elevation of the deep forest, in which the temple is essentially located, and there is a vista from there. After reaching the temple, you will be moving down a flat route beside rocky and river-flowing terrain. Finally, in the dense woodland and lemon grass forest, you will ascend a steep incline while largely being surrounded by 6-foot-tall lemon grass, and you will reach the peak.

You need to be extremely cautious and mindful of wild animals. Take along your standard hiking supplies, including food, water bottles, and gear, and continue on the trek without mishap.

While the walk takes three hours, it will take at least a whole day to fully appreciate and connect with this place. Folks, you have it now. Join us by sending a DM.
