GS Sharanya was successfully traced in the deep forests of Tadiandamol hills in Karnataka's Kodagu district on Sunday night.

Sharanya, who lost her way during a trek to the Tadiandamol hills on April 2, survived on water from a forest stream, braving steep terrains and intermittent rain, before being found by rescuers on Sunday after an intensive search.

Recounting her isolation, Sharanya spoke less of hardship and more of the strange, almost surreal companionship the forest offered her.
