We are going to do the easy hike at Mallachandram Dolmen first. https://photos.app.goo.gl/xRGw1pXUT5AGj6Qs8
Then head to a different location about 15 km/30 minutes away. (Will mostly stop for food en route)
This second location is an easy hike to a lake. https://photos.app.goo.gl/zdqQbeqwQSA62bH47
Some of us will go beyond the lake to explore some new trails.
You can choose to stay back at the lake & chill.
So please get your swimming gear too. The lake is not deep, except in a few parts. So even if you’re not a confident swimmer you can stick to the shallow parts.
Note: This event is free for BLR Hikes Premium Members.
