Start your adventure in the lush green hills of Chikmagalur. Visit Mullayanagiri Peak, the highest peak in Karnataka, for a challenging trek and scenic view. Also, experience the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary, home to tigers, elephants, and black leopards. For a relaxing end to the day, enjoy a cup of Chikmagalur coffee at one of the many plantations in the area.
Travel to Hampi, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the former capital of the Vijayanagara Empire. Rent a bike or scooter to easily explore the ancient ruins and temples scattered throughout the area. For a unique adventure, try rock climbing on the granite boulders or take a coracle boat ride on the Tungabhadra River. Catch the sunset at the Hemakuta Hill Temples.
End your adventure in the picturesque hills of Coorg. Hike to the stunning Abbey Falls, visit the Madikeri Fort for a taste of history, and explore the Nagarhole National Park for an opportunity to see tigers, leopards, and elephants. For a unique experience, try white water rafting on the Barapole River.
For more adventure, plan a longer stay in Hampi to fully explore the area. Alternatively, cut out Coorg and allocate more time to Chikmagalur or Hampi. Remember to check opening and closing times of attractions before visiting to avoid disappointment. Bring comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and insect repellent for hikes and outdoor activities. Consider hiring a guide for a more informative experience.
