Trekking club

Saveetha Dental College Trekking Club Organized an Event to Senji Rajagiri Fort On 15th July 2023.The inaugural trek of the SDC Trail Stars took place, involving students and faculty from SDC. A total of 62  members participated in this event . The trek was categorized as having  an "Easy-moderate" level of difficulty. However, due to intermittent stops along the route, the ascent from the base began slightly later than originally planned. Despite the intense sun, the participants demonstrated remarkable enthusiasm and determination.

The terrain predominantly consisted of ascending through rugged stone steps, occasionally interrupted by flat, plain-like areas. A significant number of participants successfully reached the summit of the hill fort, which comprises a lower section roughly halfway up. The ascent to the upper level proved more challenging, featuring narrow steps and fragmented segments. It's important to note that there is no water source at the summit, so future trekkers are advised to carry a minimum of 2 litres of water for the entire climb.

The descent commenced around 12 Noon, with departure from the site beginning at approximately 1:15 pm. A satisfying lunch was provided at Chengelpet Paranur Toll Plaza at 3 pm. The return to the campus was finalized at 4:45 pm.

To uphold environmental responsibility, all waste was gathered in cardboard containers and properly disposed of within the college premises, utilizing the institution's waste disposal facilities. Strict adherence to a no-littering policy was maintained throughout the trek. Importantly, no participants incurred any injuries during the entirety of the trek.
