Start your journey early in the morning from Bangalore to Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka. The drive is scenic and filled with beautiful landscapes. It's a great place to visit for nature enthusiasts and trekkers. From the peak, you'll get a breathtaking view of the surrounding hills and valleys. After Mullayanagiri, head to a coffee plantation for a tour where you'll learn all about the process of growing and harvesting coffee beans. The coffee plantation tour is both informative and interactive.
Start early in the morning and drive down to Kudremukh National Park. The national park is home to an array of flora and fauna including the Malabar giant squirrel, leopard, and wild dogs. The park is also known for its trekking trails and waterfalls, so make sure to visit the Kudremukh trekking point. After the park, head to Hebbe Falls. The falls are located in the middle of a dense forest and can only be accessed by jeep. It's a must-visit for its picturesque beauty and the therapeutic plunge pool at its base.
If you have more time, you can add the following places to your itinerary:
- Hirekolale Lake
- Baba Budangiri
If you have less time, you can remove the coffee plantation tour and visit one more place in Chikamagalur, like the Belur Temple.
