The mountains give us so much, so we make sure we give back. Join our community-led drives to keep Karnataka's beautiful trails plastic-free.

A glimpse from our Huthribetta cleanup drive. We encourage all trekkers to avoid littering and participate in keeping our trails clean. It's a collective responsibility to protect these beautiful places.

About Giving Back: Trail Cleanup Drives

When you join our cleanup drives, you're doing more than just hiking. We head to popular spots like Huthribetta, armed with gloves and heavy-duty bags, to clear out the plastic and litter left behind by others. It’s hands-on, it’s necessary, and it’s the only way to ensure our trails stay green and accessible for every trekker who comes after us.
