    This is not trekking, this is fun for the young generation. Those interested in trekking must visit Sabarimala once after 48 days vrat. Their trekking wish will be fulfilled there.

    Paresh Kishanlal Agarwal, the software engineer is lucky to be alive in the dense forest. Mind-blowing work by the police, forest department personnel, and the local youths in finding the youth.
