Trekking in Tadiandamol

Tadiandamol, also known as Thadiyandamol, is the highest peak in the Madikeri Taluk of the Kodagu district in Karnataka. After Mullayyanagiri and Kudremukha, it is Karnataka's third-highest point. In the valleys of the range, there are lovely shola forests that spread out in thick green tufts. It is a 15 km journey to the peak of Tandiandamol.

Green and lush, Tadiandamol draws you with promises of a spectacular view from its summit. With tall trees, wildlife that gambols happily in their natural habitat and a beautiful sunset at its top, this famous hill is a must visit for trekking enthusiasts.

Although there are two routes to reach the Tadiandamol hills, the Honey Valley route is the most common and easiest. The Honey Valley Road is the perfect way to see the unique beauty of the Tadiandamol hills.

The Tadiandamol trek begins from Kakkabe, which can be reached from Madikeri or Virajpet. Kakkabe is about 35-40 kilometers from Madikeri. The initial point is 4 kilometers away from Kakkabe, and the nearby landmark to the point is Nalakanad Palace. The area is densely forested, with streams running through it.
