Hiker's Paradise

Hiking in the Knuckles range is supposed to be heaven, and it is truly a hikers paradise, We hiked manin gala, this mountain is used to check the time by the locals in early days, We started climbing at around 9000hours  and we actually hiked the whole day, Getting to the top was a bit tough to all of us, but being at the top of the mountain was such great feeling, It was a clear day with a clear blue sky, but soon clouds took over not too much to take away the sunshine but it was one of those days which makes it great with any kind of weather, actually it was super!! We came to a stream where we took a well earned rest and there we had lunch, refreshed our selves and started climbing again hoping to reach mini worlds end before the light could fade off, and we did.

Hiking in Knuckles 
i have been to mini worlds end on number off times before but this time our guide took us to a corner where the wind from all over gets capped into a small channel and it shoots it self up, and it was a thriller of feeling the power of the wind right on you, Getting to that spot was a another challenge on its self, cuz we had to crawl our way there to reduce the surface area that is hit by the strong winds!

We didnt want to meet any herds of elephants whom were reported to have been roaming at dawn, so we quickly walked back to the place we were staying, it was a hike to remember totally loved it! and surly made me want more,
