Kolaribetta-Upper Bhavani Trek - Sep 26-27, 2009

This trek was on the same line as Kolaritetta-Avalada Trek except that we did not cross Avalada. On the way back from Kolaribetta, about half way through, we took a detour to reach Upper Bhavani. Again, September proved to be the right month for a trek in this region. The place was so green and we were treated with a light drizzle throughout. And, after a long time, we had good sighting of animals.

This was a 2-day trek. Day 1 was in Avalanchi. There is a forest guest house at Avalanchi where one can stay, but permission is needed from the Forest Department at Nilgiris, which also provides a guide.

Route: Coimbatore=Karamadai=Mulli=Avalanchi=Kolaribetta=Upper Bhavani.
