Trek to Thirumaleguppi - [10th - 11th March 2012]- Registration
is on
THIRUMALE GUPPI is spread partly over the thick hilly forests near the coastal
plains on the western portion and the shola vegetation on the Western Ghats
uplands, covering parts of 3 districts, viz., Chickmagalur, Udupi and Dakshina
Kannada..
Special features of Thirumaleguppi
TG is made of steep hills and valleys. The hills, which bear the brunt of the severe monsoon wind, preclude any tree growth as a result the landscape is covered with grass. The valleys which are tucked in, have reasonable protection from wind and a deep soil profile, as a result of which stunted evergreen forests exist creating an unique microclimate, rich with mosses, orchids, etc. The whole scenery of grassland interspersed with narrow strips of forests provide a fantastic vista for a trekker. The totally fresh air and the climb up and down, invigorates the body and soothes the soul. During the trek, one can view and study several wildlife species of plants, birds, reptiles, amphibians, butterflies, insects, etc.
