There is a pillar on Kunti Betta which was used by Kunti during the regime of Pandavas. The pillar will be the summit for our team. Start the climb on the right side of the pond, step your foot on the steep inclined surface of a single rock clearly visible to the naked eye although there can be serveral ways to reach the hillock.


Start walking in the open area on the left side following the trail. If you keep following the trail you will reach on the base of hill in the paddy fields. In order to avoid that take a right turn keeping the hillock in mind.

There is a rock on the edge of the hill top. The rock has a shear drop and an inclination on the other side which gives one of the most fearful moments, we call it vertical drop edge. We advise one to be very cautious if they want to reach the edge of the rock.




Sometimes sliding on the initial trail of Kunti Betta Trek is an endless activity for all of us.
