Start your trip with an adventurous trek to Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, standing at 6,330 feet. The trek is an invigorating experience and the breathtaking views from the summit are worth every step. Apart from the trek, there are also scenic spots like the Seethalayanagiri Temple and the Colonel’s Camp for visitors to explore.
Begin day two with a drive to Baba Budangiri, one of the highest peaks in Karnataka, situated at an altitude of 6,215 feet. The scenic views of the valleys, mountains, and forests along the way are awe-inspiring. The Datta Peeta, Baba Budangiri Shrine, and Manikyadhara Falls are some must-visit places on this trip.
On day three, venture into the beautiful Kemmanagundi, a hill station situated at 4700ft above sea level. Trek to Z Point, explore the Hebbe Falls, and take a refreshing dip in the Kalhatti Falls. The Raj Bhavan and the rock garden are also popular spots.
On the final day, immerse yourself in the rich coffee culture of Chikmagalur. Visit the numerous coffee plantations like the Honnayana Coffee Estate, and the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. A visit to the Elephant Camp, trekking through the Baba Budangiri range and visiting the Kudremukh National Park are other options for travellers.
For a longer trip, you can include more coffee estate visits or go for additional treks in the Baba Budangiri range or the nearby Kudremukh range. If you only have a shorter duration, you can consider a one-day trip to the Hebbe Falls or the Baba Budangiri Shrine and Datta Peetham. However, it's highly recommended to avoid the monsoon season, as the trekking trails and waterfalls might be closed due to safety reasons.
