About The Trip

Are you looking for a getaway from Bangalore with the urge of escaping the fast-paced life of the city? Prepare for the best New Year trek to Kudremukh; the lush green meadows, pristine streams, and picturesque landscape that’ll leave you in awe, the cold breeze that’ll freeze the moment for your mind to register the definition of beauty and satisfaction. And what better time to experience all this and more than on a New Year’s Eve! Join Plan The Unplanned as we head back to nature and celebrate the dawn of a new year the way it’s meant to be celebrated. If you’re excited to know what you’ll be doing on this trek, head to the itinerary. IMPORTANT NOTICE: The Forest Department at Kudremukh has issued a notice where it has decided to allow the first 50 applicants for the trek each day in order to ensure biodiversity and preserve the forest. If in case we don’t get the permission for the batch, an alternative trek to Kurinjal Peak shall be arranged by PTU and there shall be no refunds on the bookings made for Kuduremukh Trek.
