Places to see
The falls, peaks and temples people come for. None of these are booked through us — they are here so you know where you are going.
Ettina Bhuja
Peak · Mudigere
A bare rock dome shaped like an ox's shoulder, which is what the name means, standing clear of the grassland above Byrapura. The walk up is about four kilometres through estate and then open hillside, steep only at the end, and the summit ledge looks straight down the escarpment to the coastal plain. It is the easiest of the district's big-view peaks, which makes it the busiest on winter weekends.
FreePermit needed
Kudremukh Peak
Peak · Mudigere
The third-highest peak in Karnataka at 1,894 m, named for a ridge profile shaped like a horse's face. A roughly 18 km return trek through rolling grassland and shola forest inside Kudremukh National Park.
FreePermit needed
Netravati Peak
Peak · Mudigere
The quieter neighbour of Kudremukh, climbed from Samse through the same rolling grassland but with a fraction of the people. The trail crosses several streams and a saddle before a final ridge to a summit that looks across at Kudremukh's horse-face profile. The Netravati river, which reaches the sea at Mangaluru, rises on its slopes.
