The Call of the Wild: Weekend Trekking & Nature Escapes
Escape the Bangalore rush and find your rhythm in the wild. We organise group treks to the Western Ghats and beyond, focusing on the journey, not just the summit.
Why do we love traveling so much? Because every moment is a lesson. A beautiful waterfall reminds us of the constant flow and learning in life.

About The Call of the Wild
You might see us posting about the mountain views, but the real work happens in the background. We handle the transport, the local forest permits, and the homestay coordination, so you don't have to worry about the logistics—just show up with your trekking shoes and a curious mind.
When we say 'kelavondu sala hogo place ginta hogtiro daarine ishta agutte' (the journey is often more beautiful than the destination), we mean it. Our trips are designed for people who want to disconnect from city life, whether that is a monsoon trek to the Western Ghats or a crisp Himalayan climb.
We keep things simple and real. Our standard weekend packages cover your round-trip transport from Bengaluru or Mysuru, dormitory-style homestay accommodation, four solid local meals, and the necessary forest permissions. We do not believe in luxury resorts or high-end glamping; we believe in staying at authentic homestays where you can share stories with locals and fellow trekkers.
Our group sizes are curated to ensure we keep our impact low. We are strict about our 'leave only footprints' policy and ensure that every trail we walk remains pristine for the next group. Whether you are a solo traveler looking to meet new friends or a group of techies needing a weekend detox, our trek leaders are there to guide you through the trail and ensure the vibe stays positive. If you are joining us for a monsoon trek, be prepared for rain, leeches, and the most vibrant green landscapes you have ever seen. If you want to know which trek fits your fitness level, just ask us—we have been through these forests enough to know what you can handle.
Mountains Are Calling
We started MAC because we realised life in Bangalore was moving a bit too fast. Now, we are just a group of friends who love the outdoors and want to share those hidden corners of Karnataka with you. Come along, share some chai, and let's get lost in the mountains together.
