IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:

Devarakere is an obscure hillock situated right behind Shivagange. An easy off-beat climb leading to a great summit view. The hill has no trails as such, so reading the thickets and rocks is something you must have prior experience with. What really made this trip superb was that we plotted the route and re-traced it back to the bike to the "T".

And this marked 396 days, 64 treks, 13 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 52nd trek in 48 weeks for 2026, with 49 first-time ascents and zero repeats :)
