A day’s trek past the green grasslands, Shola Forests and rivulets and streams to the highest peak in all of Kodagu is a great way to kickstart your long awaited mountain expedition. The steep crest of the hill does make it a moderately difficult climb but a delightful place to set up camp at anyway!

2. Galibeedu Peak

A walk of varying gradients through thick jungles and later open meadows to the summit of this lesser known trekking destination makes for the perfect weekend escapade. The narrow steep trails appear less cumbersome as one is distracted by the pleasant sights and sounds of the wild.

Considered one of the toughest yet most popular treks that South India has to offer, the Kumara Parvatha trail takes you through the fantastic Pushpagiri range of the Western Ghats.
