Karnataka Hill & Summit Treks: Join Our Squad
Beyond the city limits, we climb, laugh, and find our rhythm. Join us for sunrise treks across Karnataka's best peaks, from Savandurga to Skandagiri.
A glimpse into the variety of landscapes Karnataka has to offer, from the rocky plateaus of Hampi to the misty peaks of the Western Ghats. This video showcases some of my favorite trekking destinations.

About Karnataka Hill & Summit Treks
Trekking with me isn't just about reaching the summit; it's about the movement. We mix in functional warm-ups at the base and cool-down stretches at the top to keep everyone feeling good. Whether you are tackling the steep granite of Savandurga or catching the sunrise at Skandagiri, expect a proper workout and a solid crew to keep the energy high.
I lead weekend treks across Karnataka because I believe fitness shouldn't feel like a chore. The outdoors is my gym, and these trails are where we find our real balance.
Why join our trekking squad?
- Proper Warm-ups & Cool-downs: I don't just dump you at a trailhead. We start with functional training to prime your muscles and end with stretches so you aren't walking like a robot on Monday.
- Community First: We start as strangers and finish as a squad. Whether it's a tough scramble up Shivagange or a leisurely morning hike, the focus is on shared energy, music, and the occasional dance at the peak.
- Logistics Sorted: I handle the headache of transport, permits, and food. Our day treks include breakfast, lunch, and a Tempo Traveller pickup so you can focus entirely on the hike.
Popular trails we conquer:
- Savandurga & Shivagange: Perfect for sunrise views and testing your leg strength on steep rock faces. These are close to Bangalore and ideal for a quick fitness fix.
- Skandagiri: The classic sunrise destination. It’s challenging, beautiful, and a great way to push your limits alongside others.
Everything is scaled. I've led beginners on slow walks and athletes on hill sprints. If you can move, you can trek with us. Just bring a water bottle, decent shoes, and a good attitude.
