There were no clouds to be seen but the scene of sunrise and the surrounding mountains were excellent. I would recommend you start climbing by 2:30 AM, so that you take enough pit stops during the trek and reach top by 6 AM. One more warning..there are 2 mountains side by side and most people get lost in the smaller mountain. After you walk for around 5 mins you will have to take a deviation to the lest to reach the top of the correct mountain. I Went to the trek on 31st Jan 2009.

Every person should carry a torch. It should be in the ratio of 1:1. Same applies to the water bottles. You can have dates if you feel exhausted. They will keep you going. This trek is for the people who love live their life on the edges. You need to have that gut and courage to feel this dangerous yet beautiful Skandagiri. Once you start, there is no looking back.

It was night to day trek and we saw the sunrise just when we were about to reach the peak. We did not see any clouds but the view of the nearby hill tops covered under the heavy mist was breathtaking. This was the best outing I have ever had. I am still so thrilled and excited about it. There are no professional guides. The locales can be your guide if you want to and they will charge you straight Rs.300/- and they won't negotiate and beware, DO NOT MESS with them, they are good but have the ability to misguide you. Have a happy and afe trek. We experienced Skandagiri on 24th Jan 2009 and took the not so usual trek path to feel this hill.

I have no idea about the public transport. <br/><br/>Probably you can do this, take a bus to chikballapur APMC market and then proceed a little further until you see a bar named deepak(the name mostly this,i am 95% sure of the name) bar.Take the left there and pass through the small town there until you get a dead end and take a right. then proceed further and pass 2 villages then you will see the paapagni mutt which is at the foothill.<br/><br/>You can take girls with you. It took about 2hrs for the trek. But it is freezing cold there in the morning before the sun rise, from 4 to 8.<br/><br/>you dont need a guide actually because that is the way we did it.<br/><br/>We came back the next day by afternoon.<br/><br/>Regards,<br/>Santhosh Hi subbu,

You can take girls with you. It took about 2hrs for the trek. But it is freezing cold there in the morning before the sun rise, from 4 to 8.

you dont need a guide actually because that is the way we did it.

We came back the next day by afternoon.
