Camping site at Thadiyandamol trek:
There are two best places for camp. 1) At the foothills of the peak that is near to the big rock. This is best place for camp. You will get water near by. Big rock gives you protection from water. Ground is flatter for camping. you will get wood for campfire. 2) At the peak. Only 4-6 tents will accommodate at the peak. So if you are trekking in long weekend then better reach early to the peak. But there is no water at the peak. so you need to carry. Normally high wind will be there at the peak so just check wind in weather forecast.
Warning : Please keep campfire overnight if you are camping at the foothills. This is because observed Elephants activity recently in this area
