I am part of a team called "Maache Ellide?" (ಮಚ್ಚೆ ಎಲ್ಲಿದೆ)for more than an year now. This team includes some of my ex-collegues of company where i work and others are all trekking enthusiastic people from different companies. Even though we had several treks, nature walk etc in the past, we didnt have a name for our team. After the Bisle Ghat trek we decided to name our team as "Maache Ellide?". In English it means "Where is the Scar?" and the reason for such a name is that in almost all the treks we had a very experience with the leeches. During the trek without our knowledge these leeches used to get on our body. Only at the end of the trek we used to find scars on the body created by the leeches.
There is one blog kaaduharate.blogspot.com by one of the member Santosha (sahitigalu) which is the Kannada version regarding our treks. It has become very popular these days and had got appreciation from several websites too.
Currently the team consists of myself (Janakirama), Santosha (Sahitigalu), Ashoka (Hero), Sandeep (Miltry), Jagadisha, Raghu(Loves U), Chandra (Swamy), Harisha, Chandra Mahesha, Jayantha (chikka), Kari (Cheksu), Ravi, Sangamesha, Nitin, Patila, Krishna (Yaape)........
