Gudiyum Caves

Gudiyum Caves

Gudiyum Caves - it's our second Trekking experience which gives a very good explore for us and our team's support gives more enthusiastic to reach two caves on the same day. We planned our trip on 10th October 2015 and started from Koyambedu around 7AM (actually it's too late). If you plan to reach without traffic, start earlier as much as possible. So we set a meeting point near my house and start our journey with my friend's car.

After some point of time, everyone get hungry when we see the hotel on the way. So we decided to have a breakfast at MOTEL and buy some snacks, water bottles etc.

Diet Idly

We quickly had the breakfast and start our journey further, Suddenly our driver realized that the stepney is not ready. Then we looking for a puncture shop, then we found a shop on the Thiruvallur Road within 2kms. Due to the worst road condition, check the stepneys, tyre pressure and most importantly have a enough petrol for the uninterrupted journey.

Stepney ready and its fitted

Finally we reached our destination around 9.30AM and bit confusion on the exact entry point to the Caves due to the misguidance by some one. Finally a person show the correct root for the entrance. Then we drive on the way at the thaar road to watch the right side to find a board mentioned as "Sri Mannachiamman Kozhi Pannai". Then slow down the vehicle and take the right side of the road, it start from Red Sand Road in the few meters there is a land mark of "Mundhiri Thoopu (Cashew Garden)".

Sign Board is available to identify and take the right direction, some times its hard to find out the correct direction, the RED SOIL road is the land mark.

I bet in every team there is a person who do differently apart from the nature (aarva kolaaru). He is the one of my best friend. Check below his some kurangu activities.

This is the first cave, which we reached after long hours of journey. Take some photos and halt for some time.

After taking a rest, we identify a small path on the left side of the cave. Climb on that way as it go, it will bring us in the top of the cave. It is more slippery, be careful on the walk, better wear a sports shoe with gripping bottoms.

The way we walk on the side is too sloppy, so each have a stick and continue the ride. 

We make as a direction to point that a narrow way is available to reach a first cave. Among the stones someone mark it in red color for the direction, then only we realized the path is exits in the direction. So we make it in bigger arrow to helpful for some one.
