    As I told earlier...was really exciting and the more exciting & Adventourous part is....I made this trek individually along with pradeep as we were delayed to reach the spot in time By missing the root. We made this trek individually and could meet the team at the end of the Trek. It was a different experience and Team is good ...and a warm up session for New members which was reachable with in city limits...Diyant guess we can organize a claenup drive in coordination with some NGO

    I believe this is one of the best places in Hyderabad to trek or warm up for difficult treks. Amazing place.

    It's sad that few who RSVP'd yes and blocked the places didnt turn up. It's not fair. Please be sure that you can come if you say yes.

    @muzaffar: If you start from gachibowli crossing, first cyberabad commissionarate would come and then the raidurgmam stop. You would see a right turn there. Look at the map above, raidurgam(red dot) and police commissionerate are both marked.

    Will we trek to Durgam cheruvu and back to the starting point again? Many wud probably want to park vehicles at the Rayadurgam bus stop.

    Anyone has suggestions on alternatives on getting to the starting point and not having to go back to it after the trek?

    •  Nice to see ppl joining . . . . Had fun!! thot will be der till afternoon.

    •  This was my first Trek after joining GHAC and it has been a very exciting one. I hav been once to dis place (about 3-4 years back) and had spent jus 5-10 minutes. Though the approach to this place during my earlier visit was through direct road, I never imagined that my next visit would pick such a different track :) !! Overall, I believe this Trek is a good one for some of the beginners that has offered few tricky challenges of trekking ! 
    •  It was refreshing...a nice nature walk right in the backyard!!...meeting different people...everything about it was fun...hopefully I can join in many more such trips... 
    •  I liked meeting the group . I was a bit disappointed with the littering and pollusion of the lake compared to what I had seen about 10years back ! Sign of progess? Perhaps the group can contribute to social awareness and perhaps be more careful to avoid adding to the pollusion . 
    •  great group and exciting trek and fun all the way 
    •  very good

       I had too good a time. Such a lovely place to trek. Beautiful location. Nice place for getting prepared for difficult treks. Absoultely superb!!!Wud luv to go again and again. 
    •  Awesome beginners' trek. Saw the beatiful side of Hyderabad today! 
    •  Had great time in trek and got to know many new like minded ppl from diverse domains. look forward to be part of many more such treks. Enjoyed throughly every moment :) GHAC Rocks!!!

       My Third Time as this place, every time I go here I see some of the boulders blasted. The Trek was fun with many new comers participating enthusiastically. we saw lot of birds and some peacocks in the area, the lake is overflowing and not clean as usual. there is lot of litter around it. Its time for some clean up Drive 
    •  This was my first trek ever and was exciting. Never knew trekking could be so much fun and refreshing! Looking forward to more treks! 
    •  A serene one
