Few Points from our trek:
- Get permission from Forest department. Discuss forest department charges , otherwise you might be in for some surprises
- Male Mahadeshwara (MM) Hills has a temple dedicated to Lord Mahadeshwara who is said to be the incarnation of Lord Shiva
- MMHills to NaagaMale (14 Kms): Need to climb up down few hills and you will also find quite a few villages on the way. One can see amazing view of Shola forest from the top of the hill. There is huge Snake and Linga rock formation at Naagamale.
- Naagamale to Palar (10 Kms): The trek path is scenic with not much altitude variations and can be covered with less difficulty
- Hogenakkal Falls: Is around 30Kms from Palar. Kaveri river was flowing full and the view from both Karnataka and Tamilnadu side was spectacular.
- Animal sighting: We saw some wild boars and two foxes on the way from Palar to MMHills
