About Organized Treks
We’re Karnataka Hikes, and for us, trekking is way more than just walking up a hill. It’s about forgetting the traffic, chasing waterfalls, and getting lost (the good kind) in the Western Ghats. If you’ve spent too many weekends doing nothing, maybe it's time to jump in.
Real People, Real Trails
Our trek leaders aren’t just certified trek leaders Karnataka - they’re also the folks cracking jokes around the campfire and making sure you don’t lose your way. With 14 years exploring these hills, we know where the best chai is, when the leeches come out, and how to tweak the route if your legs start complaining. Come solo, bring your gang, or show up with your family - you’ll always find someone to swap stories with.
Pick Your Adventure
Whether you’re after full-blown Western Ghats trekking packages for the weekend or a quick one-day escape, we run guided weekend treks from Bangalore almost every Friday and day trips every Saturday-Sunday. On these, you’ll get transport, entry fees, and a trek leader who’s part local, part storyteller.
Popular trails? Netravathi’s got waterfalls, temples, and jeep rides. Kodachadri is tough but totally worth it. Kudremukha is misty and green, especially when monsoon trekking experiences are at their best.
Good Vibes, Green Trails
We keep it clean - no alcohol, no smoking, and lots of clean-up drives. Sometimes, you’ll hear us chanting “Ee Sala Cup Namde!” on a peak. All you need is the spirit for adventure, and the rest just happens.

My Story
We’re Karnataka Hikes, and honestly, the mountains just pull us in. Started out with a bunch of us running from city noise to Ghats magic. It’s not just about the trek - it’s the chai by a waterfall, the random jokes, and that RCB banter even up in the clouds. We call it our trek family because strangers turn into buddies real quick. Doesn’t matter if you’re new or a trek pro, come make memories with us.
My Work
Weekend Treks & Getaways - We run treks to Kudremukha, Kodachadri, Netravathi Peak, Bandaje Falls, and more. Also quick one-day trips.
Open to All - Solo, family, or your whole gang - everyone finds a spot in our trek family.
Easy Bangalore Start - Most trips start and end in Bangalore. We also pick up from Tumkur, Chitradurga, Shivmoga sometimes.
Full Experience - It’s not just walking - think waterfalls, misty peaks, and wild Kodachadri jeep rides.
