Plan The Unplanned Bangalore

Nestled in the Western Ghats, Coorg in Karnataka, also known as Kodagu, is a picturesque district often called the "Scotland of India." It’s where rolling coffee plantations, cascading waterfalls, and vibrant Kodava culture converge. We curate travel packages that make discovering Coorg feel less like checking off a tourist list and more like stepping into a living, breathing postcard.
What makes Coorg in Karnataka special is its laid-back vibe paired with an undertone of rustic luxury. Think dew-kissed mornings, rich filter coffee brewed from beans grown a few feet away, and impromptu bonfires under starry skies.

Welcome to Gokarna, Karnataka’s sun-kissed seaside paradise. This small temple town has quietly become a backpacker’s haven, thanks to its stunning coastline, laid-back vibe, and hidden beaches.
Now picture this: you’re walking along the coast, looking out at endless blue waters meeting the sky, discovering beach after beach — each with its own charm. And while you're at it, you're making new friends, sharing stories, and creating memories that stay long after the trip ends.
Why Travel With Plan The Unplanned?
1. Premium Comfort
AC dorms, private rooms, and comfy AC tempo travellers or mini-buses. Yes, this is an adventure — but without compromising on rest, hygiene, or travel quality.

And with Plan The Unplanned, you won’t just see it — you’ll truly experience it. So whether it’s your first trek or your fifth, pack your bags and join us.

Peregrinating on the Kudremukh National Park peaks, a trekker's voyage is complete once they visit one of the dramatic siblings of the Kudremukh and Netravati Peak treks. Sitting on the cosy aisle of Kudremukh National Park, we have discovered a trek called the Gangadikal Peak trek for the trekkers obsessed with perfection.
The Gangadikal trek offers steep ascents and deep valleys, putting you on a high for 4 km (one way). It is moderate in difficulty. Witness the Lakya Dam backwaters, the Kudremukh mountains, and the valleys. Walk through the canopy of trees, accentuated by natural beauty and the voices of insects and birds. Internalise the smoothness of grasslands.
On a two-day adventure, you will push your limits, trek on a stunning trail, go to fun-filled Secret Waterfalls and visit Kudremukh Hanging Bridge. With all love, we invite you on a journey where you will feel alive and admire each bit of the trip. Check out the itinerary and join us on our next adventure
