    Start your day early and head to Kudremukh National Park for a trekking adventure. The park offers numerous trekking trails of varying difficulty levels, each offering magnificent views of lush greenery and cascading streams. We recommend the 10 km trek to Kudremukh peak, which is the third highest peak in Karnataka. After the trek, head to the park's visitor centre to learn about the park's flora and fauna. In the afternoon, go on a Jeep Safari to explore the park's wildlife and spot animals such as the Indian bison, sambar deer, and malabar giant squirrel. End your day by visiting the Hanuman Gundi Waterfalls, located near the park. The falls cascade from a height of 22 meters, offering a serene and picturesque view.

    Head to Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, for a thrilling trekking experience. The trek offers breathtaking views of the Western Ghats and is perfect for adventure enthusiasts. After the trek, visit the nearby Bhadra Wildlife Sanctuary for a jeep safari. The sanctuary is home to a vast array of wildlife, including tigers, leopards, and elephants. The safari offers an excellent opportunity to view these majestic animals in their natural habitat. In the evening, relax at the nearby Hebbe Falls, located inside the sanctuary. The falls are situated amidst dense forests and offer a serene and peaceful environment.
