Kudremukh Weekend Trek
Trip snapshot
Trek overview
That tired, restless feeling is bound to kick in somewhere during the week and when you want to get away from the heart of Bangalore city, Plan The Unplanned can take you deep into the heart of Karnataka’s Chikmagalur district. Here lies a land where clouds come down to kiss the rolling green hills, and the air smells of moss and magic.
Kudremukh, the “Horse-Faced” sentinel of the South is often hailed as the Himalayas of the South.
Did you know that this mighty peak is the 3rd highest peak in Karnataka, right behind Mullayanagiri and Baba Budangiri?
Now imagine the rush of adrenaline you will feel, when you get to the top!
Perfect for those who are high on fitness or already have a few treks under their belt, this stunning escape from the chaos that Bangalore can become, is just a few hours away. The sweet dulcet tones of birdsong and the gurgling of mountain streams will make this trek worth it all and if you want to experience all this and more, come join our tribe.

Here’s a fun fact to tuck in your backpack: the Western Ghats are a UNESCO World Heritage Site, globally treasured for their biodiversity and breathtaking balance.
As you make your way through the trek, nature paints a different scene every hour - mist curling around trees, valleys blooming below, and hills rolling endlessly like green waves. Trust us when we tell you that the Kudremukh trek goes beyond beautiful – it is surreal!
Here is all that you will get to experience on this trek:
- Trek to one of Karnataka’s most scenic peaks with expansive panoramic views

Important Notes
To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
Travel arrangements
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
"Without Travel" option
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Embrace the outdoors
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Leave no trace policy
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
