Vara para treck part 1

vara paara means rock with lines . Its a huge rocky mountain cliff about 1400 feet high from MSL. lots of unseen , endangered, and rare plants, wild elephants and risky terrain has made it un accessible to general public. Possibly we were the first study group to visit Vara paara in Dec 2008.
A paradise for who loves virgin nature.

A great start ! Cross across a stream.

Multiple roots to support a straight stand .
