The Mountains of Sakleshpur Camp & Hike - Muddie Trails

Feb 21 - 23 '20 | 10:00 PM (IST)

Event Information

Muddie Trails presents a fun-filled & thrilling & chilling weekend with easy trekking, camping with coffee estate homestay, waterfalls, Fort, good food and a lot of socializing – all in the beautiful mountains of Sakhleshpur, which is almost a well kept secret hill station of Karnataka.
While camping in Sakleshpur gives a wonderful experience, we also have a homestay with limited beds as well for those who feel comfortable to stay in the rooms instead of tents.
Along with trek, we will have an off-road jeep ride, take a dip in a chilling mountain waterfall, visit the star-shaped fort and beautiful backwaters with ruined Church.
About the destination:
Sakleshpur is a hill station located in the western ghats of Karnataka that boasts incredible biodiversity. The climate of the region is nice & cold, so they grow a lot of coffee and spice plantations here. For people who love to explore nature, Sakleshpur offers an ideal weekend getaway.
Enough of the intro, now just #getmuddie!
