All About It
  • 2 Days  1 Nights 
  • For 10+ years

Kurinjal in Chikmagalur is one of the most coveted trekking destinations in the South. The area surrounding the peak and the mountain range is counted under the Kudremukh National Park, and in the midst of the green region is this amazing and untouched hill, called the Kurinjal Peak.

This trek to the top of Kurinjal Peak will pass through rainforests covering the slopes and the trails passing through several streams, to finally arrive at the misty summit. The sight that you get from the top of the hill will dazzle you to the highest limits of excitement. You will start from the base camp which will also be your stay for the night. You will be enjoying the coziness of comfortable tents on a double or triple-sharing basis. You will also get delicious meals during your stay here to keep you charged on this expedition of yours.

The trek leads through rainforests and passes a number of streams to finally arrive at the majestic top of the peak to greet you with the most breathtaking scenery. After this, even though you wouldn't want to, you will retrace your steps back on the 7 km trek (one way) to arrive back at the base camp with loads of memories and pictures.
