Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary is a must-visit place for nature enthusiasts. Morning hours are the best time to visit the sanctuary as the animals can be spotted easily. Take a jeep safari to explore the wildlife, and you might come across bison, elephants, bears, and various bird species. In the afternoon, get refreshed with the cool breeze at the Hebbe Falls. The stunning waterfall amidst dense forests is a perfect spot for a picnic. Spend the evening at the Kemmangundi Hill Station and enjoy the breathtaking sunset from the Raj Bhavan.
Begin your day by hiking to the Mullayanagiri Peak, the highest peak in Karnataka, and enjoy the breathtaking view from the top. After the tiring yet refreshing morning hike, head to the Jhari Waterfalls for a refreshing shower. In the afternoon, visit the Kudremukh National Park and trek to the Hanuman Gundi Waterfalls. In the evening, unwind at the Baba Budangiri Hills while sipping a hot cup of coffee and enjoying the cool breeze. The scenic beauty of the hills is a treat to the eyes.
If you have extra time, visit the Z Point, an offbeat destination for trekking, or the Kalhatti Falls for a mesmerizing view. You can also take a day trip to the nearby picturesque town of Belur and Halebidu, famous for its ancient Hoysala temples. To maximize your fun, make sure to carry comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent.
