Sarang Trek (May 3, 2025)

This will be an adventurous trekking trip, retracing the path I used to take as a child. We will reach Attappady early in the morning, take a dip in Siruvani, and trek up the steep hill on foot. This trip is suitable for families who are physically fit for a challenging climb.

For those drawn to Sarang through Dakshina’s videos, it’s best to join the family tours they organize occasionally, based on availability.

This trek is not a leisure trip. The focus is on sharing my story with the kids and discussing how communities worldwide tackle water scarcity.
