Nov 22-23: IAC's Trek to Ombattu Gudda - 22nd & 23rd Nov 2008

" www.iacindia. org
Trek to Ombattu Gudda - 22nd & 23rd Nov 2008

IAC is dependent on the travel agency to send the vehicle on time. Hence there might be some delay in the arrival of vehicle at the pick-up point. We request you to please cooperate - IAC Team

Ombattu Gudda is a peak at about 971 meters above sea level, and at a distance of about 20 kms from Gundiya Check post, inside the Kabbinale Reserved Forest. The peak is so named because there are 9 prominent humps on top, almost in a straight line (Ombattu in Kannada means nine, while Gudda means hill).

Ombattu Gudda peak is an uphill trek of approximately 6 hours from Gundiya check post. The trek starts along the NH27 for about an hour and then we say good-bye to civilization. The initial route winds along a jeep track where you would come across interesting wildlife! The path mostly goes along a stream where we can practice some diving. The forest is extremely virgin with huge bamboos and dense foliage playing host to a range of wildlife from the tiger, leopard, jungle cat, barking deer to gaur, sloth bear and, of course, the wild elephant. There will be tons of fresh elephant dung along the way. As you go along the jeep track, there are many places where one can get lost and hit dead ends. This route is noted as one of the most mysterious routes in the Western Ghats.

This particular event I was with IAC, They organized in worst manner, on first AID kid at all.
Don't go with IAC, so far they haven't reach the summit.(this is their first experience and failed one) As they said guide charge incl while paying amount and they will not appoint any guide, Wast of Money by going through IAC. We are paying money to IAC for taking us to peak and our expectation was that IAC aware of this place; so far IAC didn't pitch their TENT.
