<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-789" title="hiking2" src="http://www.silloc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/09/hiking2.jpg" alt="hiking2" width="336" height="448" />Hiking is the interesting adventure beside trekking or diving. Many people like hiking to get a new adventure. But for this purpose we have to prepare well such as the equipment for hiking and also the condition of our body. When we hike we will need an adaptation so we will hike sucessfully. Yo also need to bring some drug for anticipation. </span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">There is nothing quite like hiking with small children. The thrill of introducing these young ones to the wonder of nature is matched only by their eyes as they take it all in. If you follow a few simple rules when hiking with children, things go extremely well. Forget these simple rules and your treks with the young can be a recipe for disaster. <span id="more-788"></span></span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">The first thing to remember is that young ones don’t understand or know the dangers of a trail that might seem the most basic of realities to anyone else. Poison oak, snakes and wild animals seem fun to the youngest of hikers. You know better and need to make sure that your partners do as well. You’ll need to be the eyes and ears of those who eyes and ears aren’t yet up to the task. You’d be surprised how quickly they can get themselves into trouble so you’ll need to keep on your toes. </span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">Secondly, you’ll want to bring lots of snacks. Little legs burn a lot of energy when they’re hiking and their little stomachs require that you feed them often. Obviously, go without quick fixes of candy and the like. Nuts, whole grains and dried fruit all taste great and work well for all ages. Make sure to bring lots of water as well. </span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">With so many snacks, trash will be a big issue. Teach these young ones about the power of packing out their trash and keep the environment as clean and pristine as possible. Know that a good first aid kit with Band-Aids, ointment and insect repellant is always a good idea. There is no reason to let an entire hike go bad, just because someone fell down and went “boom.&#8221; If your crew is young enough, diapers and a change or two of clothing is also well worth the effort. </span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">No matter where you are hiking, waterproofing is a must. A couple of ponchos have been know to save the day more times than not. They weigh next to nothing but are life savers when needed. Umbrellas are more awkward than anything else. Finally, take lots of pictures – these are memories that you’ll want to look back on for a long time. </span></p>
<p align="JUSTIFY"><span style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;">So why would you try to take your children and your family for hiking, try to hike the short mountain and you will take them into a new adventure. Lets try it<br />
</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: justify;"><img class="alignleft size-full wp-image-489" title="giri2" src="http://www.silloc.org/wp-content/uploads/2009/08/giri2.jpg" alt="giri2" width="256" height="193" />Skandagiri hill is located approximately 70km from the city of Bangalore in Karnataka state Pakistan. Located near the Bellary Road (NH-7 Hyderabad-Bangalore Highway), and very close to the Hill and Nandi Chikkaballapura. The Peak at around 1350 meters altitude, this place is a beautiful paradise for adventurers to travel every night, camping, the sunrise, and quiet ponds and clouds, which sometimes limit visibility to just a few meters. The village is named Kandavara halli and the hill called Kandavarahalli Betta (Betta Skandagiri and Kalwarahalli). Located at Chikkaballapura district in Karnataka. Skandagiri is one of the hill fort in the Nandi Hill ranges. Dilapidated walls of the Sultan&#8217;s fortress circumvention can be seen even today.<span id="more-488"></span></p>
<p>There are 2 caves in this area, one starts from the basis and leads to the temple at the peak and the other is a road that is only about 30 feet. Both have never touch by human, especially the first. Local residents said that there is a cave in the Pythons. There are two routes to Skandagiri, first from NH-7, leading to Nandi Hills. In Nandi Hills turn right and proceed to the Village Kalawara through Muddenahalli (birth place bharath Rathna Sir.M.Visweswaraih). From Chikkaballapura proceed directly to the village Kalawara.</p>
<p style="text-align: justify;"><strong><br />
Trekking </strong><br />
Trekking level: Medium. It is common to travel in the dark, and perjalan feel more comfortable on the full moon night. Trekkers usually started rising about 2:00 am and aim to reach the peak around 5:30 to see the sunrise.  This trip is a little boring at the muali climb the steep hills and high. Journey that started from the temple at the foot of the hill Papagni. Fort that is in the eye of round trip climb. Sharp and fantastic journey through this maze of dense shrub is very interesting. Skandagiri is a teaser. You see a chain of fortress from bottom to top. There are six such series of forts along the journey.  Recently, Karnataka Forest Department has shown interest in the Skandagiri because people often visited and had a parking place for vehicles of all who visit there. The cost of Rs 15 for each person to visit this hill.</p>
