Begin your day with the beautiful views at Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka. The trek up to the peak takes around 2 hours and offers stunning views. Then, head over to Baba Budangiri, where you can visit the Shrine of Sharada, a revered Muslim saint, and also enjoy the scenic beauty of the region.
Visit the Veera Narayana Temple at Belavadi, a beautiful Hoysala-style temple and fine example of ancient Indian architecture. Next, head to Hirekolale Lake, which offers serene and stunning views.
If you have more time, check out the coffee plantations in the area and take a tour. For those with less time, stick to the highlights and spend more time at each location. Also, make sure to bring comfortable shoes and a light jacket for the trek up to Mullayanagiri.
