This is the view that makes every step of the climb worth it. The clouds rolling over the green hills of Netravati Peak in the Western Ghats is a sight you will never forget.

This is what pure happiness looks like. A moment of joy with fellow trekkers on the rolling grasslands of Kudremukha, with a massive view of the mountains behind us.

The Kodachadri trek is not just about the climb, it's also about refreshing moments like this at the beautiful Hidlumane Falls. It’s a perfect mix of adventure and nature.

There's a special peace in watching the sunrise from a hilltop. Here are two trekkers enjoying a quiet morning at Minchukallu Betta after a night of camping.

My treks are not just about nature, but also about Karnataka's rich heritage. This is the stunningly detailed architecture of a Hoysala temple we visit during our Kudremukha trip.

Imagine waking up to this. Our Kumta to Gokarna beach trek includes camping right on the sand, with the sound of the waves and a view of the open sea.

Exploring the ancient Ulavi Caves is a unique adventure. This view from inside one of the caves, looking out at the forest, shows the mystery and beauty of the place.

For me, trekking is about community. Sharing a simple meal together under the stars after a long day's hike is where we build friendships and create that *ondhu mane feeling*.

About Trekking & Hiking Tours

My Way of Trekking

I’ve been leading treks for over a decade now. For me, trekking is all about connecting with nature and people who love the outdoors. I want everyone to feel at home - ondhu mane feeling barbeku (should get a homely vibe), seriously!

What’s in Store

Most of my treks happen in the Western Ghats, all starting from Bengaluru. There’s something for everyone:

Weekend getaways deep into the Ghats, with transport and food sorted
Heritage trekking Karnataka style, mixing old stories and waterfalls
Sunrise treks near Bangalore, with camping and campfire

Some of My Favourite Routes

Netravati Peak: Jeep rides, forests, steep climbs, crazy views
Kudremukha: Grasslands, shola forests, rope stream crossings, especially fun in monsoon
Kumara Parvatha: Tough, rewarding, with flexible routes
Kodachadri: Ancient temples, off-road rides, a bit of myth thrown in
Bandaje Falls: Waterfall views with a fort visit
Hirebenakal Dolmens: Proper heritage walk, 3000-year-old tombs

How Things Work

All-inclusive trekking packages - transport, homestay, food, guide, entry fees
Group of chill, nature-loving folks
Weekday batches for popular treks, if you want less crowd
One thing: Swachhata important guru (cleanliness is important, boss) - no littering, we leave the place better than we found it

Let’s do some chaarana suttata (trekking and wandering) together!

My Story

Chaarana, suttata, that's been my life for 12 years—just trekking, wandering, making friends on the trail. Started out because I loved it, then saw more folks like me, so built this group. Not just business; it's a family vibe. Most trips start from Bengaluru, exploring our naadu—Kodachadri, Kudremukha, and once in a while, big rides to Ladakh, Bhutan. Proudest moments? When people say, 'homely feel baruthe' (feels like home) and keep coming back.
