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.
