Mountain Treks & Waterfall Chasing
Sick of Bangalore traffic? Pack your bag, leave the planning to us, and get into the wild. We handle the permits, transport, and routes—you just show up and climb.
This is your sign to go trekking this monsoon. We have curated a list of the best monsoon treks in Karnataka, from the rolling hills of Kudremukha to the stunning Bandaje falls.
The Kudremukha and Netravati treks are now open. Join our weekend group trips from Bangalore to experience these incredible forest trails and grasslands.
The Netravati Peak trek is one of our most popular for a reason. It is beginner friendly, the views are incredible, and we run trips every weekend.
The Narasimha Parvatha trek in Agumbe takes you through dense rainforests recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is an adventure for the true nature lover.
Walking through the clouds at Kudremukha. The monsoon season transforms the Western Ghats into a lush, green paradise.
The Somavathi waterfalls are right next to our homestay for the Kudremukha and Netravati treks. It feels like a private waterfall just for our trekkers.

About Mountain Treks & Waterfall Chasing
Think the hardest part of trekking is the climb? It is actually the logistics. Between tracking forest department entry timings, sorting out permits for protected zones like Kudremukha, and finding transport that gets you to the trailhead on time, the admin work is a headache. We take that on completely. You get a Trip Captain who manages the route and timings, so your only job is to handle the inclines and enjoy the waterfall views.
Your Weekend, Sorted
We run group treks into the Western Ghats because we know that sometimes, the only cure for a rough week is fresh air and a steep climb. Whether you are eyeing the grassy slopes of Kudremukha or the misty trails of Netravathi, we make sure you get there, trek it, and get back without the stress.
What You Get When You Trek With Us:
- Everything is handled: We cover your forest department entry fees and trekking permits. If the forest gate says no, we know where to pivot.
- Transport included: Our tempo travellers pick you up from key spots in Bangalore like Indiranagar and Domlur, and drop you back. No need to hunt for buses or drive yourself.
- Stay & Grub: We arrange safe, shared stays—homestays or tents. We provide hot vegetarian meals, so you aren't relying on overpriced, uncertain highway food.
- Trip Captains: These guys are part-friends, part-organisers. They keep the group moving, ensure no one gets lost, and manage the 'only 1 km more' motivation.
The Vibe
Most people sign up solo and end up leaving with a phone full of new contacts. We keep it real. No forced ice-breakers or rigid itineraries that kill the fun. We focus on the BPU vibe: bus parties, campfire talks, and raw nature. If you are a beginner looking to get into trekking or a pro who just wants to skip the planning phase, you are in the right place.
We frequently head out to Agumbe, Chikmagalur, and the heart of the Western Ghats. Check the calendar, grab your gear, and let's get trekking.
Backpackers United
We started Backpackers United in 2017 because we realized life is too short to spend every weekend in city traffic. We aren't here to give you a lecture on technical gear; we are here to make sure you find a crew, get to the mountains, and actually have a good time without the boring tourist stuff. If you are looking for a tribe to share bonfire stories with, welcome to the family.
