One of the coolest people to guide us in the trek. They are so flexible with our needs and were so supportive. The trekking part was so comfortable for all of us. Campfire and staying in tents was more fun than we expected. Experience at the water park was way more fun than all other things. It would have a 5-star rating if the food was a bit more good and only Veg food was available but as prescribed in the website, not Veg/Non-Veg. I am sure all will love it, but make sure you go during a specific time where you can see more green.

Great experience, well organized trek. second day was not so fun as first day where we went for trek and waterfalls.day 1: climbing up the hills, had lunch and then visited waterfalls, camp fire was moderate. On day 2 we just visited some temple and head back to bangalore. Organizing team took care of everything never let anyone behind during trek. lunch and dinner on day 1 was good. Don't expect every place to be greeny.

I went for Mulayanagiri trek. Experience was really good, I met new people, came as individuals but went back as a group. But trek is a bit easier one. Most of the part of two days was having others activities too. Our trek leader was really good.

Well best trekking experience ever. Gotta thank Rishabh from Thrillophilia to suggest and keep in contact until the trip had started. I would like to mainly thank Rahul who was the trek lead who helped me trek through those rocks and steps inspite of the injury I had. Also would thank Anmol who had been of help in keeping with the timelines all throughout the trip. To start, it was a good journey when we reached Chikmagalur in a tempo traveller at about 7:00 AM. Place of stay was awesome. We left for trekking to Mulayangiri after breakfast and that was a total 6 kms enjoyable trek up and down through steps, road and rocks. The caves were a delight to watch and take good pics at. Although very hot, there was a cool breeze at the location. Next Jhari falls was the best falls I've seen so far when compared to the famous ones which are overrated. The water was very cold and getting drenched in it was an experience like no other. The camping in tents and campfire was a fun way to spend the night as the organisers (Rahul and Anmol) made it more like a family trip with interactions between each other rather than each one to himself. Next day sunrise at baba budangiri was so beautiful because as and when the Sun rose above the mountain becoming brighter the winds howled and the fog cleared on the other mountains with darkness slowly disappearing. That was worth watching. 2 days and could see and do a lot. If you have'nt tried this trip, you definitely have missed something in life

The trekking trail is covered with lush greenery which can be seen throughout the trek and it looks amazing. The mountain views from the top are magnificent and the feeling was amazing to see the views from the highest peak of Karnataka.
Rated : 5.0
The trail was moderate and narrow and steep as well. We loved adventure and for us, it was a full exciting thing to do. The views are so much better after the rainfall and we had seen beautiful landscapes completely covered by greenery. We had clicked a lot of pictures there and had an amazing time camping and gazing at the stars.

The Mullapa Swami Temple is the reason we had gone for this trekking experience. It’s a Shiva Temple which is well known in Karnataka. Reaching towards the temple was not so difficult and we enjoyed it a lot with the group accompanying us.
Rated : 5.0
Heard a lot about this trek from friends and decided to visit there in the monsoon season. There are roads also made for vehicles to go up and trekking trails are also there. The views became much more beautiful during monsoon season and we experienced the clouds covering the peak which was indeed an amazing experience.
Rated : 5.0
The trekking experience was amazing for us. The trek was not so hard and we reached the summit after 3 - 4 hours of the climb only. The views from the summit are beautiful and astonishing.
