Once we turned left near Sathanur we had to wait for Chennappa (a forest guard known to Mukund although I am not sure about his name) who was supposed to be taking us to the trail
We used this waiting period to quench our thirst
Finally Chennappa arrived and got in along with Mukund which was the lead gypsy followed by Shahnawaz and Jammy in Shahnawaz’s gypsy and finally Suresh and myself in my MM540 bringing up the rear.
Chennappa took us through a jeep trail to the watch tower situated along the banks of the river Cauvery.
Here we spent some 15 – 20 minutes on top of the watch tower and also grabbed a quick bite (sandwiches).
