About Weekend Trek Packages
Why I Trek Every Weekend
Weekends are for escaping the city and chasing that mountain air. For me, nothing beats the feeling of standing on a peak after a tough climb, especially when the weekdays are all about work and screens. I plan treks so you can just show up, breathe in the wild, and not worry about the details.
Where We Go
Most weekends, I’m heading out to the Western Ghats. Treks leave from Bangalore every Friday night. The only thing you need to decide is, next trip yavaga (when)? Some of my favourite spots:
- Kodachadri: Forest trails, Hidlumane Falls, and a jeep ride to the sunset point.
- Bandaje Falls: Misty forests and a massive waterfall.
- Netravathi Peak: Cloud-kissed views and endless green.
- Kudremukh: Lush Shola forests, sakkath (awesome) views.
- Ettina Bhuja: Beginner-friendly, feels like walking in the clouds.
The Trekup Vibe
It’s not just about the climb. It’s chai breaks, campfire stories, and meeting people who love the outdoors. You’ll find solo travellers, friend groups, and first-timers. Off-road jeep rides, cozy homestays, bonfires, and sometimes a stop at Ballalarayana Durga Fort or Kuvempu’s home.
Who Should Join?
If you love nature and want a break, this is for you. First-timers, solo travellers, and women are all welcome. Safety is a big deal for me, and the group vibe is always friendly.

My Story
We’re Trekup Karnataka, a bunch of folks who ran away from city life and found joy in the Western Ghats. We started off just like you—wondering when the next trip would be. Now, we bring people together for real adventures, not just for the views but for the people you meet. One of our trekkers called us ‘human Google Maps with life advice’—that’s pretty much us. For us, it’s more than business. It’s our gang, our stories, our community.
My Work
Trek Destinations & Activities - We run weekend group treks from Bangalore to Netravathi Peak, Kudremukh, Chikmagalur, Gokarna, and more, with water rappelling sometimes thrown in.
All-Inclusive Packages - No headache for you—transport, local food, comfy homestays or tents, and guides are all sorted. Just pack and come.
The Group Vibe - This isn’t a luxury holiday—come ready to adjust, laugh, and make memories. Chill aagidru (just be chill).
Who’s It For? - First timers, solo wanderers, big gangs—anyone wanting to swap city chaos for coffee hills and new friends.
The Real Experience - Think muddy shoes, hidden waterfalls, endless laughter, and memories you’ll keep replaying. It’s not just trekking, it’s a feeling.
