Kudremukh trek
Wed 19th, 07:30 AM (IST) onwards | Multiple Dates
Event Information
Difficulty level: Moderate
Trek Distance: 22 KM (To and Fro)
Kudremukh known as the Switzerland of Karnataka is around 358 km away from Bangalore. The trek lies in Chikmagalur overlooking the Someshwara wildlife sanctuary. Kudremukh in Kannada means 'horse-face' and refers to an impressive scenic sight of a side of the mountain that looks similar to the face of a horse. Nestled in the Western Ghats, the forest is spread over an area of 600 sq km at an altitude of 1,894 m above sea level.
It is an ideal place for trekking and an overnight journey from Bangalore makes it the most convenient destination for weekend getaways. Natural grasslands and dense Shoal forests make the greenery of these undulating hills eye-catching.

Please Note: The Forest Permission has changed for this trek. Only 50 Participants are allowed in the mountain range in a Day. Although we try our best to gain permission, sometimes it happens that we do not get permission from the forest department. The decision of acceptance and rejection from DF (Department of Forest) happens at the start point check post of the trek based on the count. If in case we do not reach the check post in time to gain permission, naturewalkers would arrange another beautiful trek like Kurinjal or Bavikonda from the same region. We do not wish to change our plan at any cost but considering DF we do not own any control over the national park region.
