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

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.
My Work
Trekking, Camping & Trips - We run sunrise trek near Bangalore, big Western Ghats treks, bike rides to Umlingla pass, and even Bhutan group tours.
All-Inclusive Packages - Transport, tents or hotels, food, entry, guide—sorted. Just pack your bag, rest we handle.
Community Comes First - Homely trekking experience Karnataka style. Safety, comfort, and even birthday cake on the mountain sometimes.
From Karnataka & Beyond - We roam our naadu and far-off places. Everyone's welcome—friendly groups, no fuss.
