Kudremukha Trek

That tired, restless feeling is bound to kick in somewhere during the week and when you want to get away from the heart of Bangalore city, Plan The Unplanned can take you deep into the heart of Karnataka’s Chikmagalur district. Here lies a land where clouds come down to kiss the rolling green hills, and the air smells of moss and magic.
Kudremukh, the “Horse-Faced” sentinel of the South is often hailed as the Himalayas of the South.
Did you know that this mighty peak is the 3rd highest peak in Karnataka, right behind Mullayanagiri and Baba Budangiri?
Now imagine the rush of adrenaline you will feel, when you get to the top!
Perfect for those who are high on fitness or already have a few treks under their belt, this stunning escape from the chaos that Bangalore can become, is just a few hours away. The sweet dulcet tones of birdsong and the gurgling of mountain streams will make this trek worth it all and if you want to experience all this and more, come join our tribe!

### Trek highlights

Here’s a fun fact to tuck in your backpack: the Western Ghats are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, globally treasured for their biodiversity and breathtaking balance.
As you make your way through the trek, nature paints a different scene every hour - mist curling around trees, valleys blooming below, and hills rolling endlessly like green waves. Trust us when we tell you that the Kudremukh trek goes beyond beautiful – it is surreal!
Here is all that you will get to experience on this trek:

• A trek that will challenge you, but allow you to reconnect with yourself and others like you
• Lush shola forests one minute, wide-open meadows the next!
• Silver-threaded waterfalls and gentle cascading streams that will leave you mesmerised
• The gorgeous Kodige Falls, where you get to take a well-earned dip!
• Delicious local meals, campfire stories and much more at the charming Bella Homestay

As you stand at the top of Kudremukh, you will get to savour dewdrops instead of deadlines. Enjoy the views of sweeping valleys rather than spreadsheets and get that reset you need, with Plan The Unplanned.
