IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:

Alright, Sanjeevarayan Malai is an off-beat hill offering a really scenic trek. The hill is massive, the trails are clear and easy. A grinder for sure. Perfect for climbers who want to test mental grit and endurance. And oh yeah, this is the first hill dedicated to Hanuman. Usually it is Vishnu or Shiva. It is believed that this hill has herbs that resembles that of the Sanjeevini Parvath that Hanuman got from the Himalayas :)

And this marked 46 weeks, 47 treks, ~10.5 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 35th trek in 34 weeks for 2026, with 31 first ascents and zero repeats :)
