Start your day by visiting Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka. It is a perfect spot for trekking and offers a stunning view of the hills and valleys below. Next, head to Baba Budangiri, a sacred spot for both Hindus and Muslims. Those who love nature will appreciate the scenic drive to this beautiful mountain range. Sip on some refreshing tea and coffee in the local cafes, and also taste the famous Chikkamagaluru coffee on the way.
Begin your day by exploring the ancient Belavadi temple complex, which boasts intricate Hoysala architecture and is a photographer's paradise. Stroll through the temple grounds to see the many intricate carvings and artwork. Wind up your trip with a visit to the enchanting Hebbe Falls, which is surrounded by greenery and has a peaceful atmosphere. Trek through the lush green rainforest to reach the falls, and take a dip in the refreshing water.
If you have more time, you can also visit the beautiful coffee plantations in the area, such as the Manikyadhara Coffee Estate and the Ayyana Kere coffee estate. You can also take a jeep safari ride at the Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. However, if you have less time, you can skip either Belavadi or Hebbe Falls and spend more time exploring either Mullayanagiri or Baba Budangiri.
