About The Trekking Life: Trails, Peaks & Panoramas
Whether you are tackling the 16km trail at Netravathi or climbing the misty slopes of Thadiyandamol, the terrain changes fast. I make sure we go at a pace that everyone can handle, especially when the monsoon rains make the paths muddy. It is not just about the summit; it is about keeping you safe, enjoying the forest, and finishing with a hot, authentic Malnad meal at our homestay.
I have been leading trips through the Western Ghats since 2016, and if there is one thing I have learned, it is that the mountain decides the schedule, not us. My trekking clusters focus on the real experience of the ghats—the unpredictable rain, the dense shola forests, and the sudden, rewarding views from the peaks.
The Peaks We Explore
- Netravathi Peak: A moderate-to-challenging 16km round trip in Chikmagalur. I help you navigate the permit process at the forest check-post and ensure we hit the trail early to avoid the crowds.
- Kudremukh: Known for its rolling green meadows that look surreal on a cloudy day. It requires stamina, but the feeling of walking through the clouds is worth it.
- Thadiyandamol: As the highest peak in Coorg, it offers stunning panoramic views. I often combine this with local homestay stays, so you get the full experience of the region.
Why Trek With Us
My approach is simple: responsible travel. The nature you see is everyone's property, so we make sure to leave no garbage behind. When you join my treks, you get more than just a guide; you get someone who knows the shortcuts, handles the 4x4 jeep transfers for the muddy last-mile stretches, and ensures you have a dry place to rest.
We provide everything from life jackets for swimming in natural pools to first-aid support on the trail. If you are coming as a group, I customize the itinerary so you can focus on the trail rather than the logistics. Let's head out and experience the prakruti soundarya (beauty of nature) the right way.
