One can see the Arabian Sea from afar on a clear day. It's an easy trek, and tourists can enjoy a panoramic view from the top.
The Coffee Museum in Chikmagalur provides tourists with a glimpse of coffee's history and how it is made. There is also a cafe that serves coffee from various parts of the world. The Belur Temple, also known as the Chennakesava Temple, is a world heritage site and a perfect example of Hoysala architecture. The intricate designs and carvings on the temple's walls and pillars depict the stories of gods and goddesses from Hindu mythology.
Hebbe Falls is a gorgeous waterfall located amidst dense forests and coffee plantations. One can also find hot water springs at the base of the waterfall. Visitors can take a dip in the hot springs and enjoy the mesmerizing scenery in the surroundings. The waterfalls can be reached by trekking through a hilly path, which can be challenging. However, the rewards are worth it.
Visitors who have more time can also visit the Kudremukh National Park, which is a natural habitat to various wildlife species. Foodies can try the local cuisine, such as Akki Roti and Pandi Curry, at any of the roadside eateries. If time is a constraint, visitors can remove the Coffee Museum from the itinerary or visit only the Belur or Halebidu temples instead of both.
