Best first trekking experience at Skandigiri!! Met new people and enjoyed the mountain view.

Superb experience with plan the Unplanned. I would definitely recommend anyone to this, going forward I am gonna go more treks with PTU Last weekend I went kodachadri which is awesome place to see natural water falls. Timing is awesome. Good planning. Trek leads are awesome rucha,Anurag,akshay

Kodachadri trek with PTU was wonderful experience as this was my first trek the assistance and guidance offered by the trek leads ( Rucha, Anurag, Akshay) was very helpful. Trek leads are so energetic and friendly. The activities organised by the team from the start of the journey till the end was very innovative which helped us to socialize with the whole team and made team of strangers to friends. Home stay was clean and hygiene with tasty food served. Overall PTU gave a lifetime memories in my first trek.

Bandaje falls trek: This was one of the best treks I have done so far, why? 1. Great drizzly weather🌦️ 2. Lush green Hill's🌄 3. Super tasty food 🍱 4. Beautiful homestay🏡 5. Hidden Gem in Karnataka🏞️ 6. Super entertaining team leaders🤸🏃 7. & Obviously my new friends ❤️ Could have written a big paragraph, but this is a easy read ✌️

I went for the Monsoon Kodachadri Trek. This was my second trek with a group and i must say, i got more than what i expected. The planning of the trip, the organization, especially the itinerary and schedule was very flexible yet very punctual. The safety is something you don't even have to think about. The part that i was touched the most about were the leads, Akshay, Anuraag and Rucha were so inspiring, they weren't just representing Plan the Unplanned, but it felt like they are our friends and kept us together and motivated throughout. Their activities, the way they kept us together made a group of 35 strangers into 35 friends in just 2 days. 10 out of 10 for Plan the Unplanned. For as long as i am in Bangalore, my go to travel group will be PTU. PTU, YOU ROCK!!

It was my 1st trek in Karnataka and I was traveling solo as I am new in Bangalore. But I think I made a right choice by choosing Planned The Unplanned (PTU) for going for this monsoon trek (Kodachadri Trek). It was an out and out Monsoon trek which ticks off all the right boxes: rain✅greenery✅waterfalls✅fog✅challenging terrain✅. So I'd definitely suggest this trek for all beginners and anyone who wants to experience the monsoons to the fullest. The arrangements like bus travel, food, communication were upto the mark. Special mention for the Homestay as bedrooms and bathrooms were very clean and food hygiene was also maintained. It was thoroughly raining throughout the trek but the patient, energetic and friendly approach with which the Trek Leads (Akshay, Rucha and Anurag) have managed the whole group is absolutely amazing and highly appreciative👏 Activities for making the participants socialise with strangers in the group were very innovative and playful. It was fabulous associating with PTU as I made a great group of new friends which boosted my positivity along with getting to explore some beautiful parts of Karnataka. Looking forward for more adventures with PTU and thank you for the pleasant experience 😊

Bandaje Mansoon Trek This is my fifth trek with PTU and each one of them were special in their own way. I have made countless memories and friends for life, that kept me going from first. My favourite ones are Kuduremukh, Bandaje and Gokarna, if you ask me I would do them all over again. Stay: I always got good and safe accommodation with clean toilets. Food: Hygienic,Healthy, Local and Yummy. Trek leads:Talented, Well Informed, Motivating, and great entertainers. Games: The best. Maybe it’s on the day of trek or while travelling. Locations:Great as always. I would like to specifically talk about Bandaje trek. We stayed in a great homestay which was in the middle of a coffee plantation which had the spectacular view of a tea plantation and remote. We trekked to Bandaje falls directly from Raani Jari and visited historical Ballarayana Durga Fort on our way back. It was the best Monsoon trek that I have ever been to. The entire western Ghat range was covered in mist, but rain also took breaks to allow us to have spectacular views. It wasn’t a tough trail, but monsoon rains and wind made it difficult and beautiful. Leaches were always there but the trek leads had given us great tips to get rid of them.Our packed lunch was tasty, but the dinner was best of all(We had authentic malnad style Bamboo shoots curry and Colocasia leaves curry). For Morning breakfast, we had idli and Pundi(kadabu). On our way back we had the famous neer dosa sponsored by PTU in Kottigehara. I am amazed to see how Jatin(Founder PTU) always comes up with great games every single time. Our trek lead Jolly played some amazing music from Harmonica on the night of the trek. People always come back to PTU for the next trek for the experience that they get. I have made some great friends from across the country and still in touch with most of them.
