🌿 செண்பகாதேவி மலையேற்றம் – மறக்க முடியாத இயற்கை அனுபவம் 🌧️⛰️
தமிழ்நாடு வனத்துறையின் சிறப்பான ஏற்பாட்டில் செண்பகாதேவி மலையேற்றம் மேற்கொண்டேன். இயற்கையின் அழகை மிக அருகில் ரசித்த இந்தப் பயணம், என் மனதில் என்றும் நிலைத்திருக்கும் ஒரு இனிய அனுபவமாக அமைந்தது. மலைப்பாதை முழுவதும் வீசிய குளிர்ந்த காற்றும், இடையிடையே பெய்த சாரல் மழையும், பசுமையான மரங்களும், மலைகளின் அழகும் மனதிற்கு அளித்த மகிழ்ச்சியை வார்த்தைகளால் முழுமையாக விவரிக்க முடியாது. 🌿🌧️ சாரல் மழையில் நனைந்தபடி மலைப்பாதையில் நடந்து சென்ற அந்த தருணங்கள், மனதிற்கு ஒரு விதமான அமைதியையும் புத்துணர்ச்சியையும் அளித்தன. இயற்கையின் மடியில் சில மணி நேரங்கள் செலவிட்டது, அன்றாட வாழ்க்கையின் சோர்வை மறக்கச் செய்தது. இந்த அழகான அனுபவத்தை ஏற்படுத்தித் தந்த தமிழ்நாடு வனத்துறைக்கு மனமார்ந்த நன்றிகள். 🙏🌳 இயற்கையை ரசிப்போம்… வனங்களை பாதுகாப்போம்… மலைகளை நேசிப்போம்… மனதை மகிழ்விப்போம்! 🌿💚----வெங்கடேசன், வேப்பூர், கடலூர் மாவட்டம்.
Awesome 👌
Very nice experience
Perfect Naturewalk & Loved the initiative
Been here almost 15yrs ago - between now and then, due to restrictions, wildlife has come back - great to know this. Kannan was a great guide. He explained about all flora, fauna and the history of the place. Trek Tamilnadu is a great initiative to create awareness about nature and educate people about fragile ecology. It gives us an opportunity to appreciate nature and soak in it peacefully. We got nice caps and drank pure water of courtallam and finally completed our trek with a shower at Chittraruvi. A sincere request to the new Govt, please extend the trek to Theanaruvi too.
A Divine and Memorable Trek to Senbagadevi Falls
Our Senbagadevi Trek was an unforgettable experience. The entire trek was very well organized, and the guides ensured our safety throughout the journey. The trail was surrounded by breathtaking greenery, fresh mountain air, and stunning scenic views, making every step worthwhile. Reaching the sacred Senbagadevi Amman Temple and receiving the blessings of Lord Kasi Viswanath made this trek even more special. It was a perfect blend of adventure, spirituality, and nature. A heartfelt thanks to the Tamil Nadu Trek team for their excellent coordination, hospitality, and commitment to preserving nature. We returned with beautiful memories, amazing photographs, and a peaceful mind. Highly recommended for nature lovers, trekking enthusiasts, and families looking for a safe and memorable adventure. 🙏
Great way to explore Courtallam
I did this trail in the 10 am slot. Durairaj and Kannan were our guides for the same. We started from the courtallam forest guest house. On our way, we were given information about flora and fauna around . Since it had rained the day before, the weather was excellent. It was drizzling and perfect for a walk. We took short stops to see a waterfall on our way, enjoy the greenery and listen to the sounds of the beautiful birds. The temple and Shenbagadevi waterfall is spectacular. Nestled in the forest, you are surrounded by greenery, medicinal plants , sound of the waterfall and lots of monkeys. It was extremely peaceful there with strong positive energy. After spending some time at the waterfall, we headed back to the base where we started from. Our guides were well mannered, professional and informative. They were strict with regards to our safety which is commendable. Highly recommended for beginners. I look forward ro to more treks with Trek Tamil Nadu.
