Start your day early by heading towards Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka at an altitude of 6,330 feet. It is a picturesque trek of about 3 kilometers with breathtaking views of the Western Ghats. Once you reach the top, you can spend some time admiring the surreal panoramic view and take selfies with your friends and family. After the amazing trek, head towards the beautiful Hebbe Falls, a two-stage waterfall nestled in the dense forests of Chikmagalur. Cool off in the refreshing water and enjoy a relaxing swim. Don't forget to carry a change of clothes as you're bound to get wet. End the day with a scrumptious dinner at one of the local restaurants.
Begin your day by visiting the Coffee Museum, which houses various coffee-making equipment and educates you about the history of coffee in India. The aroma of freshly brewed coffee will wake you up and you can enjoy a cup of coffee at the museum's café. Next, head to Hirekolale Lake, which is surrounded by lush greenery and offers a serene atmosphere for a peaceful stroll. You can also choose to go boating or kayaking in the lake. Capture the tranquil beauty of the location in your camera lens, and make memories that will last a lifetime.
If you have more time, you can add the following attractions to your itinerary: Baba Budangiri Hills, Jhari Waterfalls, Kudremukh Trek, Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, and Belavadi Temple. For those who have less time, you can either skip Mullayanagiri or Hirekolale Lake. Alternatively, you can explore the town and its local markets and cafes.
