IN LESS THAN 50 WORDS:

Heggunda is one of the most beautiful treks done so far. The trail is straightforward and clear. It is a 15-20 climb to the summit. The most unique thing is the diamond-shaped rock face as seen from the road approaching it. We have never seen anything like it. And this time, we spotted a complete rainbow - the full circle, an absolutely surreal moment :)

And this marked 369 days, 58 treks, 12 months, non-stop, since Oct 12th, 2025. This was our 46th trek in 43 weeks for 2026, with 43 first-time ascents and zero repeats :)
