Kodachadri Trek via Hidlumane Falls

When the daily grind starts to get to you, it is time for a well-deserved break. You need to take just a day or two to get in touch with yourself and hit that reset button.
But when you are in a bustling city like Bangalore, where do you escape to?
Simple – you come to Plan The Unplanned and book a Kodachadri trek from Bangalore.
This weekend, the choice is yours. You could sleep in and check out PTU’s ‘gram updates - or be in it. Seriously, you could be walking through dense green forests, gushing waterfalls and landscapes that will wash away the chaos lingering in your mind.
Located within the Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary, this is one of those treks which is truly magical – the perfect blend of mythology, legends and drop-dead gorgeous sights!
Although there are 3 different trek routes, the one we will take you through might prove to be slightly tough for first-timers. But fret not - if you are ready for a challenge, then this could be the adventure of your lifetime!
