Its time to go back in time!. This is an account of the memorable trekking experience that i had in last March (2005). We trekked from Subrmanya to Yedakumeri on the abandoned railway track. Its also called Green route/valley by nature lovers. It was my first trek in 4-5 yrs. I had travelled in that magical route in a 'forest express' when i was a child. I went there this time on foot much closer. I still have some cherishable memories of that dream rail journey. I was eager to go there again after a long time.


I dont know why iam writing this now suddenly keeping mum about it for almost a year! Somehow missed the mood to write about it. May be i didnt have the photo scans were still using the 'dabba cam' at that time. Now i have mood and the pics, hence writing about it. That’s why the name ‘Forgotten’! I hope my memory is good and i remember everything that happened in those three days. Iam taking this also as a challenge to my memory. Lets see. Wish me and yourself a good time travel Can my friends
gooddevil(Ganaraj) and
indianerd(Arun) who might be reading this, who also trekked remember some incident which i have not written about here and forgotten Or point out anything inconsistent with actuals?.. Its up to them.
Date : March First Week 2005

prathapbn,
gooddevil,
indianerd , Shashi, Tejasvi and Adarsh (JCE 2005)
Plan :
This trek was being planned and organized by Shashi, our mech friend with our classmates Tejasvi, Ganaraj and Adrash. Hearing upon it me and arun (classmate) also joined the team. So that makes the team of six (all jceites). It was first week of March midst terribly hot summer. The plan was to go to Subramanya in bus (night).

Start the trek from Subramnya in the morning. Halt at a place called Gundya (first day). Then trek second day to Yedakumeri. (halt there) Then if wiling trek the remaining distance to Donigal on the third day or else return back on the third day itself. Tickets were booked in ultra deluxe Rajahamsa bus till Sulya since we didnt get reservations all the way till Subramanya.
