IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:
Kavaragal Betta is one of the strangest hillocks. And there was no official documentation of the climb. The strange "Jodi Kallu" on top is the crown jewel. There are no clear trails, and it runs through forests that are home to bears and leopards. Recently heard from locals that a bear had ripped a shepherd's face into shreds whilst he was grazing his sheep, so yeah, not recommended for everyone :)
And this marked 362 days, 57 treks, 12 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 45th trek in 42 weeks for 2026, with 42 first-time ascents and zero repeats :)
