     Rated : 5.0

    I had always consulted the overviews, highlights and reviews of thrillophilia whenever I went for any trek with my friends. I found their description always helpful. Generally I prefer to go on treks with friends without proper guide as I feel it is more adventurous. But this time I went with a friend who is basically afraid of snakes and wanted to go on a guided trek. When guided treks are concerned nothing is better than thrillophilia...We started our journey at 10pm.I must say their pick up facilities were very convenient. After reaching the base camp we introduced ourselves to the trek guide Swami,had snacks and waited for other groups to come before we started our journey. At 1am sharp we started trekking and went through steps,fences,mud road, thorny trees till we reached the staircase from where we had to climb proper steps till we reach the monolithic cliff. The best part of the trek is the glittering lights you see from the distant city of ramnagara during night once you reach a decent height The view was superb and once you reach the top the view gets better. Our team was pretty swift and we reached the top in 1 hour. We enjoyed the moonlit sky and the beaming stars for sometime and then went to deep sleep. The rising sun and its awesome hue woke us up and for the first time I saw the sunrise lying on the sleeping bag without taking the pain of getting up .After the sunrise we started trekking down and reached our base camp pretty fast. We had our breakfast and then started for Bangalore..By the time breakfast was served we were very hungry and really enjoyed the homely food served there... Overall I was very satisfied and I must say guided treks are equally good specially if you are going with thrillophilia!

    The 3km trek of Kabbaladurga was not so challenging and the beauty of the night sky added more charm to it. We started at around 1:00 in the night and it took us around 3-4 hours to complete the trek. Seriously, finding ways under the dim light of the moon was so amazing. Just a piece of advice: do not try to find your own ways; it is always better to stick to the rest of the group members. Listen to the trek guides as they know the route better and is always ready to help the group members in the best possible ways.

    I am not a big fan of night treks as I wear contacts and night treks can be quite a bit tough, but I did really enjoy this trek. Firstly this was well-planned and secondly, my guide was so interactive and he himself was giving tips for trekkers who faced restrictions and difficulties with such small issues. Overall it was a nice trek.

    Pros: The trek is very inexpensive. It is totally worth it. Also, it is quite at an easy drivable distance from the city. Once you cross the city traffic, this is just an easy breezy drive. The trekking is moderate, suiting for beginners as well as pros. Also, the night view of the place surrounding is brilliant. Cons: There are literally no negatives or drawbacks in this trek. Although, it did have a bit delay in the start time though.

    This is a once in a lifetime kind of trek. I never knew night treks were there near Bangalore. When I heard about this, I was pleasantly surprised. I have done night treks near my hometown, but here this was the first time. I was so much interested and enthusiastic about the trek, and this did prove to be a really nice experience.

    The Kabbaladurga Night Trek was quite nice and interesting. It was one fun experience. Going as a friends gang for a night trek was something we planned and never executed, but this time we just made sure that we had to do it. Firstly, it was a really nice drive to the trek starting point. The trek leader was very friendly, jovial, and talked a lot. The co-trekkers were quite friendly and amiable too.
