Plan The Unplanned Bangalore

Tucked away on the Goa–Karnataka border, yet very much Goa at heart, Dudhsagar Falls is the kind of place that makes you stop in your tracks. As the water crashes down from over 1,000 metres, it spreads into a foamy white sheet, earning its name – Dudhsagar, the “Sea of Milk.” Standing before it, with the roar in your ears and the mist on your skin, you understand why it’s counted among the five highest waterfalls in India.
But this trip isn’t just about ticking off a famous waterfall. We’re here for the thrill of the journey — trekking through lush forest trails, the sound of streams keeping us company, and that first glimpse of the falls peeking through the greenery. After the trek, we slow things down and explore the quieter, more soulful side of Goa. Think a hidden beach where golden sands meet turquoise waters, forts with sweeping views, and sunsets that look like they’ve been painted just for you.
Still wondering if this trip is for you? Let’s make it easy
1. Why go with Plan The Unplanned?
AC travel, interstate taxes, stays, meals, and a flexible Day 2 — all included. Plan it yourself and you’ll spend more (and miss the fun).
2. What’s different about this Dudhsagar trip?
You’re not just seeing the falls — you’ll trek through lush forests, chill at a secret South Goa beach, and stay in a cosy homestay away from the crowds.
3. Why book early?
Spots for Dudhsagar are limited and sell out fast. The Forest Department has strict entry caps, so early booking = guaranteed entry.
4. Any perks for booking now?
Yep! Early Bird prices for the first 10 bookings, your seat locked in, and zero last-minute FOMO.
Trip Highlights:

• Trek to one of India’s tallest and most powerful waterfalls
• Walk through dense forests and scenic trails
• Witness the raw beauty of a secret South Goa beach
• Catch panoramic views from historic forts
• Enjoy a laid-back holiday with just the right mix of adventure and relaxation

This isn’t your usual Goa getaway. It’s an invitation to see a wilder, more untamed side of it — and once you’ve been, you’ll never look at Goa the same way agai

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.

As part of its never-ending beauty and wonders, Coorg brings to you its highest point: Tadiandamol, a trek at an altitude of 5735 feet. This stunning peak is surrounded by the greenery and expanses of the Shola forests, which are broken by the beautiful blueness of the water bodies that cut through it. The word Tadiandamol in Kannada means a big mountain, which is what it exactly is.
The starting point of this trek is Nalakanad Palace, which will take you through a wide expanse of colours, sights and smells that you have never experienced before. Once you make it all the 5735 feet to the top, you are going to be rewarded by the company of nature, which will include flowers, snails, trees, streams, and butterflies. Following this gorgeous walk amidst nature, you will return to the homestay and can enjoy the company of your new trek family!
Some memories linger a little longer than others; some leave an esoteric imprint, whilst only a precious few warm you up from the inside and turn you into a storyteller. The mind-blowing adventure to ascend the peak of Tadiandamol, a mountain of such majestic beauty enveloped by an imposing atmosphere of serenity, is one such memory to gain while you enter into the New Year 2024.
Notice that this New Year seats are limited and will fill out on a First Come, First Serve basis. Also, be informed that this New Year is preceded by a weekend, so kindly check out the itinerary and book your seats at the earliest.

Tired of the traffic, screens, and repeating playlists? It’s time to hit pause and head into the hills. This weekend, we’re going off the map and into the lush wilderness of Wayanad, where every turn on the trail promises misty valleys, secret waterfalls, and views that make you forget your inbox.
Our adventure begins with a trek to the majestic Banasura Hills, one of the most underrated gems of Kerala’s Western Ghats. Think rolling green hills, wind in your hair, and clouds at eye level. But the real magic? We hike down into a surprise – the stunning Meenmutty Waterfalls waiting in the forest below.
By nightfall, we head to something special — our exclusive campsite perched on top of Ambukuthi Hill. Picture this: campfire crackling, stars overhead, the distant rustle of forest leaves, and stories shared with a tribe of strangers who quickly become friends.
Day two? It's slow, scenic, and packed with optional adventures — from ziplining and boating near the Karapuzha Dam, to simply sitting by the water and letting Wayanad do what it does best — calm you down from the inside out.
This isn’t just another weekend getaway. It’s your reset button — wild, offbeat, and full of moments you’ll carry long after Monday shows up again.
Trek highlights:
Banasura Hill Trek – A lesser-known summit with 360° views of misty ranges and lakes
Meenmutty Waterfalls – A hidden 3-tiered waterfall we reach mid-descent
Campsite at Ambukuthi Hill Top – Exclusive camping with dreamy views and night sky
Karapuzha Dam Activities – Optional ziplining, boating & more (self-sponsored)
Community Camping – Bond with like-minded travellers over stories and stargazing
Homely Meals & Packed Lunch – Fuel for your trail, prepared fresh by locals
