Start your adventure-filled trip at Mullayanagiri Peak. It's the highest peak in Karnataka, and the trek to the top is challenging yet extremely rewarding. The trail is rocky but the panoramic view from the top makes it all worthwhile. You'll be surrounded by lush green forests and rolling hills. Make sure to carry enough water and snacks. It's best to start the trek early in the morning as the weather tends to get hot and humid.
After the trek, take a refreshing dip at Hebbe Falls. It's a 500-feet high waterfall surrounded by coffee plantations, and the perfect spot to cool off. There are two ways to reach the falls - by jeep or a moderate trek. The jeep ride is bumpy but adds to the adventure. After reaching the parking lot, it's a 2km easy trek to reach the falls. The water is chilly, so make sure to carry a change of clothes and towels.
End your day with an exciting safari at Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. Home to tigers, leopards, elephants, and several species of birds and reptiles, this sanctuary offers both jeep and elephant safaris. The best time to spot wildlife is early morning or late evening. The sanctuary is closed on Tuesdays, so plan accordingly.
Start your day with the beautiful scenic trek to Z Point. The trail passes through thick forests and streams, with a steep ascent towards the end. The view from the top is breathtaking, with the valley below covered in mist and clouds. Carry enough water and snacks, and wear good trekking shoes. The trek takes around 2-3 hours, so start early in the morning.
End your adventure-filled trip with a trek to Kemmangundi Peak. The trek is easy and takes around 30 minutes. The peak offers a stunning view of the sunset and covers the stunning panoramic landscape of Western Ghats. After the trek, spend some time exploring the beautiful Z point gardens.
For those who have an extra day, head to the Kudremukh National Park or Baba Budangiri Hills for some more adventure. If you have less time, skip Hebbe Falls and spend more time at Mullayanagiri Peak. Don't forget to carry sunscreen, hats, and insect repellents. Avoid carrying heavy bags and wear comfortable clothing. Lastly, respect the local culture and be responsible for your waste.
