Overview

About this package

For walkers who want the big views without camping. We arrange the forest permit, the jeep and the guide for the Kudremukh trek, pack your lunch, and have hot water and a hearty dinner ready when you get back. This is a hard day: about 20 km, 7 to 9 hours, mostly exposed. You should be able to walk 10 km comfortably; if you cannot, choose the Mullayanagiri sunrise instead. Carry 2 litres of water, a hat, sunscreen, a light rain jacket, trekking shoes with grip, and leave plastic behind. Minimum age 12. The trail depends on forest department approval and weather, and is closed in the heavy monsoon.
