I had a fabulous experience with the whole Kudremukh package. The facilities provided were exactly as that mentioned in the package. Their were two form of stay available at the homestay , one was a tent for duo and the other was dorms with capacity of 5. Alongside all this the homestay offered Good washroom facilities as well as the fooding. Although the trek in itself is a quite hard for first timer due to the time constraint under which it has to be completed but apart from that everything was smooth and comfortable.

Amazing Netravathi Trek Experience! I recently completed the Netravathi trek with Thrillophilia, and it was an unforgettable experience! The trek was well-organized from start to finish. The guides were professional, friendly, and ensured everyone’s safety throughout the journey. The trail offered breathtaking views, lush greenery, and a peaceful connection with nature. Everything from transport to food and camping was well-managed. Highly recommend this trek for anyone looking for a perfect weekend adventure in the Western Ghats

Kudremukh Trek was one of the most breathtaking experiences I’ve had! The sound of chirping birds and gushing streams kept me going throughout the trek.” The entire route was filled with little waterfalls and fresh water streams—so refreshing!” This is one  of the best treks  which gives a feeling of nature, adventure, and peace, all in the one.

Memorable Nethravati Trek Experience The trip was excellent! The availability and transportation of jeeps from the stay to Nethravati, the homestay, sightseeing, and the peak trek were all well managed. For future treks with 50+ members, it would be helpful to have more common washrooms and 2–3 guides to manage the group efficiently. Overall, it was an amazing Nethravati trek—thank you for creating such a memorable experience!
