Explore the Iconic Peaks of the Western Ghats with Us
Trade your work week for the wild. We organize all-inclusive group treks to Western Ghats peaks like Netravathi and Kodachadri, so you can just pack your bag and escape the city.
The iconic view of Netravathi peak, where the clouds kiss the green hills. This is one of our most popular weekend treks, offering some of the best panoramic views in the Western Ghats.
The lush, rolling grasslands of the Kodachadri trek. This trail takes you through dense forests and open meadows, leading to a peak known for its spiritual significance and stunning sunsets.
The Netravathi monsoon diaries are filled with scenes like this. The vibrant green landscape under a cloudy sky is what makes trekking in this season so special.
An invitation to conquer Netravathi Peak. This trek is a classic Western Ghats experience, and I run batches every weekend from Bangalore so you can easily plan your escape.
Watch how the mist rolls over the hills at Netravathi. This is the kind of peaceful, mesmerizing moment that makes you forget all about city life.
The trail to the top of Netravathi peak. It is a journey that tests you, but the path itself, surrounded by endless greenery, is a beautiful part of the adventure.
The feeling of running free on the green slopes of Netravathi with fellow trekkers. It is these moments of shared joy and freedom that define the Trekup vibe.
Taking a quiet moment to soak in the dense, misty forests of the Netravathi trail. It is in these quiet moments that you truly connect with nature.
Two happy groups at the summit. Seeing these smiles after a challenging climb is the best part of my job as a trek leader. This is what community and adventure look like.

About Peaks of the Western Ghats
You need to know that we do not do luxury resorts here. Our stays are authentic local homestays or tents with shared washrooms, and the 4x4 jeep ride to the starting point is often the wildest part of the trip. It is raw, it is rugged, and it is exactly how you want your weekend to look.
We started this community because we believe the best way to spend a weekend is getting muddy on a trail. When you sign up for one of our Western Ghats treks, you are not just getting a ride to the mountains; you are joining a group of like-minded people who prefer campfire stories to corporate meetings.
What to Expect
Whether we are heading to the cloud-kissed Netravathi Peak, the forest trails of Kodachadri, or the grasslands of Kudremukh, our approach remains the same. We handle the headaches: forest permits, transport from Bangalore, local 4x4 transfers, and decent local food. You show up with your gear, and we take care of the rest.
The Trekup Vibe
These trails are perfect for first-timers and solo travelers. You will find that our trek leaders are more than just guides; they are the folks who keep the energy high when the climb gets tough. We keep our groups friendly and chill, so do not worry about feeling like an outsider. Most people arrive as strangers on a Friday night bus and leave as a group of friends by Sunday evening.
Practical Details
- Transport: We provide round-trip transport from Bangalore in non-AC pushback vehicles.
- Accommodation: Expect homestay dorms or tents. Facilities are basic but clean.
- Food: We serve local Malnad-style vegetarian meals.
- Safety: We always have certified trek leaders and local forest guides on the ground with us.
We keep it real. If you are looking for five-star comfort, this is not it. But if you are looking for sakkath (awesome) views and a weekend that actually recharges you, join us on the next trail.
Trekup
We are a gang of folks who swapped the Bangalore city grind for the Western Ghats. We do not run a standard travel agency; we build communities on the trail. If you want to trade your laptop screen for a mountain view this weekend, come join us.
