Arduous Kodachadri

Kodachadri, Karnataka, India - October 06, 2018
After being postponed a hundred times and amid the risk of a cyclone, we the "fresh graduates" at Tesco Bengaluru set our minds to scale the Kodachadri Hill. The Kodachadri trek is probably one of the best treks in the Western Ghats which offers a 16km one-way hike, flat grasslands, waterfalls, jeep ride and the amazing view of the Arabian Sea - all wonderfully packed in one adventure.
