Warning

• Wear anti-skid sports shoes
• After kolukkumalai top view point you need to walk down to reach jaguar rock which is very risky and dangerous
• Walk very very slow while coming down or moving up. One should take it very seriously. While coming down in hill areas, we are tryign to pull body slight back. Similarly, while moving up in hills, we are tryign to pull body weight to front side. Chance of skid while coming down is high. I would highly recommend to hold the hand of each other while coming down although you feel not a problem. Incident happens at the places like this. Similarly while moving up, your body will try to keep the movement. Your body will not stop once moved one step up due to body weight. You should hold the hands of each other. One girl having normal weight was moving up. She was very happy and moving forward compared to her parents. We couples were one step higher level. She was moving towards us. While moving up, she could not able to stop herself and not even realised that she is crossing the edge. I hold her hand at the end and pulled to stop. Else there could have been an incident. So, don’t take risk although you think no risk for the sake of my family meaning.
• Ladies with kids, senior citizen, over weight person can walk till the peak but avoide to go jaguar rock point.
• Be very careful while taking photos. Focus of standing safely instead of focusing best shot.
