Start your day early and head to Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, and enjoy a thrilling trekking experience. The breathtaking view from the peak is worth the effort. Next, visit the famous Baba Budangiri Hills, known for its distinct shrines and beautiful scenery. You can also take a short hike to Manikyadhara Falls which is believed to have medicinal properties.
Spend your day learning about the world-famous Chikmagalur coffee on a coffee plantation tour. You'll get up close and personal with the coffee plants and learn about the process of making coffee, from picking the beans to roasting and brewing. After the tour, relax and enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee. Later, visit the beautiful Hebbe Falls which is surrounded by lush green forests and is a perfect spot for photography.
If you have more time, you can add the Kudremukh National Park to your itinerary. It's a beautiful place to visit, but it requires an additional day. If you are short on time, you can skip the plantation tour and explore some of the other attractions around Chikmagalur like Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary and Kemmangundi. It's always a good idea to carry comfortable shoes, sunscreen, and a hat when visiting attractions in Chikmagalur.
