Sawandurga


Have been to Sawandurga a couple of times. Once with friends just for a trek. More recently though it was a team outing by the company. The largest monolith around hadn't changed much but we did not climb it this time. After breakfast we hiked to a nearby hill. Did rappelling there after ages(Haven't done it since Ooty). Hiked some more after that. Managed to catch a Brahmini Starling and a lot of butterflies. Also saw the nest with eggs of a jungle fowl, a red spider which curled up to look like a flower bud.

Afterward we rowed across a stream to get some lunch. There were quite a few lapwings there and many more cormorants. The cormorants were far and we thought they were ducks. Someone even wanted to make a lunch out of those but we skipped that. Jumped into the water for some more fun before we trekked back to the bus. A one day time-pass trip.
