The Chennai Trekking Club: CTC

Who are we?

Words fall short to describe our weekly experiences - trekking through tropical jungles, conquering beautiful hills, breathing fresh mountain air, exploring virgin lush green forests, navigating through mountainous terrain with map and compass, diving into hidden mountain streams and waterfalls, setting up camp, bedazzled by beautiful valley views, quenching our thirst in clear mountain streams, sleeping under the bright stars, forging new life-long friendships with other trekking enthusiasts, photographing that once-in-a-lifetime wildlife scene, ... We pity the Chennai homies and city-dwellers, they are missing out on something beautiful...

The Chennai Trekking Club was founded a few years ago by a small group of trekking enthusiasts in Chennai. We organize weekly treks to various mountain and forest locations in South India during weekends. Many people from all over South India have joined. Anyone with a strong interest in trekking, photography and exploring the breath taking hidden locations in South India is welcome to join the club! We are proud to be a non-profit organization. CTC is solely based on the efforts and enthusiasm of volunteers. Expenses are shared across the participants, no profits are made. We mostly trek without pre-existing trails.
