IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:

Alright, for the 250th Chapter and Bhai's 25th Chapter with us, we chose Maharajakadai Fort. It is a massive fort hill situated near Krishnagiri. It is well-known for elephants, so yeah, it made the trek so much more fun. But to be frank, we had underestimated it; it was a true grinder, alright! 

Note: Go post 7am for two reasons: elephant activity and not to get electrocuted by the wires meant for elephants.

And this marked 41 weeks, 42 treks, ~9.5 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 30th trek in 29 weeks for 2026, with 27 first ascents. :)
