The trek to Rangasamy pillar on the 21st proved to be quite exhilarating. Twelve, members and non-members took part in the trek to the pillar which lasted about four hours.The beginning of the trail was a bit challenging because of the steep slope but was soon made easy by the gentle undulating terrain that followed.

The hike took us through alternating grasslands and evergreen sholas with spectacular views of the surrounding hills and plains. We concluded our trail at the end of a rock face with a view of the monumental Rangaswamy pillar which stands at a height of some 400 feet.
