About The Green Peaks: Nethravathi, Kudremukha & More
If you are aiming for these Green Peaks during the monsoon, prepare for mud—lots of it. It is part of the charm, but bring proper trekking shoes with a solid grip and keep a separate dry bag for your clothes for the return journey. We handle the forest permits and local guides, so you can focus on the trail and not the paperwork.
Whether you are looking for the iconic 'horse's face' at Kudremukha or the cloud-kissed ridges of Nethravathi, the Western Ghats are calling. These treks are about more than just the summit; they are about the shared chai on the way, the misty forest walks, and disconnecting from the Bangalore hustle.
Our weekend format is designed to be effortless. We manage the Friday night departures, organize the homestays, and ensure you are fed with local Malnad or Konkan-style meals. You do not have to worry about the logistics of forest department rules or finding a safe path through the shola forests—our local guides have the trails memorized.
What to expect on the trail:
- Difficulty: Ranges from moderate to challenging. Nethravathi is perfect for a quick, high-reward climb, while Kudremukha is a full-day commitment.
- Views: Expect rolling grasslands, unpredictable weather, and some of the best sunrise vantage points in Chikmagalur.
- Eco-Commitment: We take pride in being an eco-conscious group. We expect all our trekkers to follow the 'take only memories, leave only footprints' rule. No plastic waste on the trails, ever.
From Bandaje Falls to Gangadikal, each peak has a different rhythm. If you are ready to swap city screens for panoramic green vistas, join us this weekend.
