Once you cross the first stretch you reach Appachimedu which is the second stage of your climb
This stretch is scenic and difficult with a mix of all kinds of pathways with a viewpoint en route.
The path goes through the forest and you need to be careful of wildlife, make sure that you dont trouble them- it could be a small insect of it could be large animals, stay clear of them and do not create any kind of unwanted situation. During busy season you need to be careful of pick pockets, there are plenty operating here and even with extensive police presence it is difficult to control. Also you need to be careful of dubious swamis who will approach you asking for help or offering to assist – stay clear of them, for all you know they could just vanish with your belongings.
