Sightseeing in Chikmagalur

Envision this - green land and misty valleys as far as the eye can see and you, tucked away somewhere in between the rolling hills. This is what camping in Kudremukh is like.

A mere 106 kms away from Chikmagalur,  it is the 3rd highest peak in Karnataka after Mullayyangiri and Baba Budangiri - situated at an altitude of 6,207 ft. Kudremukh is a lesser known and explored mountain range at Chikmagalur that has now begun to draw attention. It falls under the purview of the Kudremukh National Park. The land is noted for its extensive range of protected flora and fauna and the nature camps provided in here.
