Start your Chikmagalur adventure by visiting the highest peak in Karnataka with an altitude of 6,330 feet. You reach the summit by trekking through dense forests and grasslands with several scenic viewpoints on the way. At the top, enjoy a panoramic view of the valleys, hills, and towns nearby.
Wine, dine and relax at The Serai Spa, a luxury retreat surrounded by acres of coffee and spice plantations. It's a perfect place to rejuvenate the senses after a long day of trekking and outdoor activities. Sit back, relax and enjoy the spa treatments that are designed to soothe, heal and refresh.
Visit the scenic ruins of the Ballalarayana Durga Fort, located at an altitude of 1500m above sea level. It's a great place for hiking, picnicking, or just enjoying the scenic beauty of the Western Ghats. The fort offers sweeping views of the Shola forests and the surrounding hills. Make sure to carry water and snacks for the hike.
If you have more time, explore Hebbe Falls, Baba Budangiri, or Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary. For adventure seekers, try ziplining and other outdoor activities at The Serai Spa. Avoid the monsoon season (June to September) as most outdoor activities will be restricted due to heavy rainfall.
