Thadiyendamol - The Highest Peak of Coorg District.



Google Earth Locator. - Thadiyendamol

Elevation - 5025 Ft above MSL
12degree 12' 58.89 N
75degree 36' 34.77 E


This trek was very much rejected by me right from the begining, and I should thank the Aahoyzz team( Balaj, Nirmal, and Karthik), for motivating and haunting me with pictures of Thadiyendamol. Its the pictures that they showed, made me change my mind, and join the Aahoyzz team for the trek.
It was on 20th Dec, I Left late from office and reached the railway station a few minutes before the train departed, to know that Balaj and Nirmal was not joining the trip. So it was Karthik who is known to me at that time, and all others who joined the trek were very new to me.
