Kurinjal peak is one of the lesser-known peaks in the western ghats. It is hidden deep in the Kudremukh National Park of Chikmagalur district, Karnataka. This entire region falls under the Wildlife Conservation Society.
It is situated at an altitude of 5,751 ft above sea level. Trekking to the peak takes you to a different world where you can experience the pure nature and the serenity.
The trail passes through the tropical forest of Kudremukh National Park, many small streams and lush green meadows. The steep climb to reach the peak adds up to the best experience one could ever imagine.
Since there are few steep sections before reaching the summit, only a fit beginner can attempt this trek.
Highlights
Trekking in the evergreen forest of Kudremukh National Park
Trekking to the Kurinjal peak takes you through the dense forest of Kudremukh National Park. These forests remain evergreen throughout the year.
As soon as you enter the forest, it takes you to a completely different world. You can hear thousands of birds chirping, the rustling sound of leaves and yet a sense of silence away from the hustle and bustle of the city life!!
Stunning view of the rolling green hills
Kurinjal Peak trek offers a majestic view of the entire Kudremukh region. In fact, you can see the Kudremukh peak from this trek.
Once you come out of the dense forest, you see a huge clearing where the magnificent view of the rolling green hills unfolds in front of you.
