Boretrekkers bog....

The only reason why the headline reads the way it does is cos "l" is silent there . And the site and the rest of our treks would be that without the fair amount of colorful junta that we have had over the year. It also means we don't want the other visitors to the site/or our treks to just listen to our fatheaded views. Pls contribute generously with your own - the veto to expunge objectionable material being our right though!

The yarn of how the group was set up sounds a bit too ...ahhh welll..let's leave it at that. But just to stir it up, will reveal the actual inspiration behind the launch of the trek in the next posting. Good day to y'all!

Bloretrekkers Blog - The Genesis

Yoo-hoo! Finally a space on the World Wide Web to pen pleasant memories and embarrassing moments on treks…..


The first serious/ formal post, I thought should ideally be on how the group “Bangalore Trekkers” formed. Am a recent entrant into this group and in fact haven’t met all the trekking enthusiasts. Would love to share the little Gyaan that I gathered from my conversations with Siva and Ravi on this though …

Well, Anand kickstarted this group; he wanted to explore places around Bangalore, make ‘Timbuctoo’ sounding destinations more exciting , fun and weekend getaways for nature and trek enthusiasts. The others pitched in to –take a break from the monotony of work, recharge their batteries, getaway from the hustle and bustle of Hosur road traffic, explore something beyond malls and multiplexes, be in the wild, see nature in its full splendor and well, give the adrenalin some work !

The group has been in existence for about a year now and has explored a fairly good number of places on the Karnataka road map – Savan Durga, Chunchi Falls, Doddalahalli,Pearl valley, Madhugiri , Pandavpura to list a few.


My share of Gyaan Byte ends here. Hope the others would add on to this post – Say, on who christened the group, when and how did one arrive at this name?
