My first experience of trekking during the night was at Ramanagara. A day time trek to Ramanagara cannot just beat the feeling of trekking and camping under the sky full of stars. I got to meet a lot of new people and had a great campfire. The guide provided by Thrillophilia was very cooperative. I would recommend Ramanagara trek from Bangalore to each and every one who wishes to have a whole new experience. You can get more insights about this place at thrillophilia reviews.

I am so glad to write about my journey at thrillophilia reviews. It was a perfect getaway from Bangalore. The good part was that we were left with a complete day ahead of us to explore the nearby spots in Ramanagara. Being a Bollywood fan was overly excited to visit the spot where “Sholay was shot”. I enjoyed it a lot. Planning to visit again sometime soon with my boys' gang.

Went to this trek on weekend with couple of my friends. We were excited by the idea of night trekking. It is not difficult trek but trekking night makes it adventurous. Our guide was very friendly and best part was reaching top and sitting beside the bonfire. View of sunrise from the top was mesmerizing.
