Hello AdVenturists,

 

Find the details of Kanoor-Kote Trek:

AdVentura trek to the Final-Frontier: Kanoor Kote: 1st & 2nd March Kanoor Kote is known as one of the final frontiers to conquer in any Trekker's list within Karnataka and the fruits are a-plenty (and in real, like guava, pineapple, cashew etc :) ) So, join AdVentura when we touch this place yet again!
About the Program
This trek is open only for folks who can walk 20kms in a day with the scorching sun on your head and 20kilos on your back.. The program involves trekking from Hosagadde to Dabbe-Falls and reaching Doctor's house beyond kanoor on 1st March. This day will take you through a lot of paddy fields and villages and sometimes through totally uninhabited regions. On 2nd March, we will conquer the Kote and then make our way back through Gerusoppa. The stretch from Doctor's place to Kote is totally unspoilt beauty with a small un-touchable lake enroute. The descent from the Kote to Gerusoppa is true to its name and we will cover a forest of Cashew (yes, you can pluck the flowers & cashews). We shall be crossing Sharawati backwaters by a boat and returning to Talgoppa (our Base-camp) Both days, you will be required to travel close to 20kms with a heavy luggage, hence this trek is open only for those who have done such streneous treks before.
