Good morning adventurers! I'm excited to take you along on my recent early morning trek to the peak of Skandagiri Hill near Bangalore. I'll be sharing highlights and tips from my trekking journey to the top to catch the incredible sunrise views. Let's get into it!

Booking the Trek: [ Ссылка ]
I booked my trek tickets in advance through the government ecotourism website. Tickets are Rs. 400 on weekdays and Rs. 500 on weekends. You need to book at least two days early since trekking is limited to a certain number per day.

The Early Start:
We left Bangalore around 2 AM to make sure we'd reach the Skandagiri base in time for our 4:30 AM trek start. After grabbing some snacks and coffee to fuel up, we arrived at 3:45 AM energized to begin our ascent in the dark.

Hitting the Trail:
The trek was steep right from the start but the excitement and striking stars in the night sky kept us motivated. We hiked steadily upwards using flashlights and the full moon to light the path. The uphill trek of nearly 4 hours was demanding but doable thanks to plenty of short breaks.

Reaching the Peak:
As daylight slowly crept upon the horizon, we pushed the final distance to arrive at the flattened rocky peak around 8:30 AM just as the sky began glowing orange. The 360° views emerging as sunlight blanketed the clouds and landscape was an awe-inspiring, hard-earned reward.

Descending & Final Tips:
After an hour taking in the unbeatable vistas at the pinnacle we began our descent, returning to the base around 12 PM fulfilled by this gorgeous outdoors adventure. My tips are to wear trekking shoes, bring snacks and plenty of water, start early to catch sunrise, pace yourself on the climb, and get permits ahead of time to secure your spot!
