Comment by Anonymous — December 7, 2005 @ 9:11 am
Thanx arun this provided me gr8 info.. so i can plan for next trek would u plz give RFO no.
Comment by Arun — December 9, 2005 @ 1:33 am
No Mridula. Sikkim is the only place in Himalayas where I have been. My only Uttaranchal experience in skiing in Auli. And have never been to HP. Was keen to do some treks in UA but looks like I can’t do it this year..
My pleasure Anon, I don’t have the RFO’s phone number. But if you email me, I will try to find that and respond to you.

spotted your blog while searching for info on coorg… great info. can u tell me how you would rate the irpu falls trek in terms of difficulty? i havent done any serious climbing, and its been a while since i did the last trek…
thanks,
anu
Comment by Arun — December 30, 2005 @ 1:46 am
Anu, Getting to Irpu falls is just a 10 minutes walk. You don’t need to trek.

Hi Arun
That was a highly informative and interesting account of your trek. iam going there this weekend. Any specific tips to help me ward off leeches?
Comment by Arun — June 15, 2007 @ 6:01 pm
Well, I dont know if the rains have started there yet. If it hasnt, there wont be any leeches to worry about. But they are in general difficult creatures to get away from. Leech guard socks are the best, but dono if they are available in and around Bangalore.
Comment by Ravindran — June 22, 2007 @ 11:09 am
Hi Arun
Well, Iam back from brahmagiri. It was raining. but as Murphy’s Laws go, I was drenched by the time I could get my raincoat out. And after I twas out, rains stopped! Ah leeches! Iam still scratching my ankles! But an awesome trip though. Beautiful place. You can visit my blog regarding the same on http://ravindran-iit.livejournal.com/

Arun,to start,u’ve got excellent writeups abt your trips,and this one,brahmagiri,in particular is great.I relived my time when i went for this grt trek,thru the same trail,as u did.Skies had meltedthe two days we were in the vicinity in April-2006,and earth boiled with leeches But the only thing that made it a life long exp’ was the satisfaction of reachin the peak at 3 in the afternoon,blazing thru clouds and elephant dungs.
Keep writin friend.
Comment by Arun — April 1, 2008 @ 4:51 pm
Thanks Sushil. Being up there on the peak is indeed a satisfying experience.
Comment by krishna — April 4, 2008 @ 10:03 am
hey u have given nice information……vll u plz give RFO number…..n details about their prmission….
Comment by Arun — April 6, 2008 @ 6:45 pm
Sorry but I seem to have lost RFO’s number.
Comment by Sampath — May 14, 2008 @ 12:26 pm
Hi Arun,
It’s indeed great info that you have provided which no other website usually has. I’m a wild life lover basically.It would be great if you can suggest a sanctuary which is nearest to Hyderabad for a weekend trip.
Thanks,
Sampatj

This is a very nice report.Good equipment is hard to come by in India but things are improving. India now has a new online store for outdoor equipment called Adventure-Edge. http://www.adventure-edge.com Prices are reasonable and the people are good to deal with.
Comment by abhi — October 14, 2008 @ 5:59 am
