Intense heat, a few awe-inspiring experiences, and rocky (sometimes slippery terrain) a whole load of sweat and finally a splash in cool waters — this can summarise a trekker’s journey to Nagalapuram. It is by no means a casual walk amidst woods, but adventure at every step. Nagalapuram trek is one of the most popular treks in South India. The place, Nagalapuram, also known as Saddhi Koodu Madugu, is located near Arai village in Chittoor district, Andhra Pradesh. Among many organisations that conduct regular treks to Nagalapuram is the Chennai Trekking Club. Radhakrishna Murthy of the Club was in Mysuru recently to speak on 'Adventures in Nagalapuram Range of Eastern Ghats' at Regional Museum of Natural History (RMNH). The event was organised under the joint aegis of People Tree and RMNH.
