Raikot to Tattoo (little adventure)
We started trekking at about 4:30am and it was a very good experience. People advised us that at least 3 litres of water per person should be with the trekker if one goes for Tattoo. But water also increasing our weight, so we decided to take 1.5 litre bottle for each person. It was compromise b/w weight and drinking water .
We heard from many people that Raikot to Tattoo hike is of 6, 7 hours. We kept this figure in our mind and start hiking fastly with this hope that we have to cover maximum distance before sun rise. Although sun rise was about 5: 00am but the sun took more than 3 hours to rise from the mountain which was on our left hand.
After 1.5 hours of trekking we took first rest at 6: 00am. It was 10 minute rest. The second rest was at 7:15am. We were drinking water with very kanjuusi.
At 8: 00am, after 3.5 hrs trekking, we were on the Tattoo bridge (donation from UOL). Now we were seeing the Tattoo village from there and we could not believe on our eyes. Ham samajh rahy thy k abhi aadha safar baaqi hai lakin safar almost mukammal ho chukka tha. At almost 8:30am we were in Tattoo.
We took 4 hours to reach Tattoo and 3 out of 4 bottles of water were consumed.
This picture was taken at 4: 30am when we had to start trekking. The barrier at the start of Jeap track which is controlled by locals is also seen.
