About this trip

A short overnight escape from Bangalore into the coffee country of Chikmagalur: a hike toward Mullayanagiri Peak, Karnataka's highest point, the cascading Jhari Waterfalls and sunset at Hirekolale Lake, a walk through fragrant coffee estates, and a stop at Belur's intricately carved 12th-century Chennakesava Temple on the way back.

Day by day

How the 2N/3D actually goes

  1. Day 0: Bangalore | The Road to the Hills

    Board from your chosen pickup point between 09:30 PM and 10:45 PM for the overnight departure to Chikmagalur. Settle in for the ride, breathe in the fresh night air, enjoy some lively music, and dive into fun conversations as we cruise through winding roads and lush coffee plantations on an approximately 6-hour drive to the serene hills of Chikmagalur.

  2. Day 1: Chikmagalur | Peaks, Falls & a Sunset Lake

    Arrive in Chikmagalur, the 'Coffee Land of Karnataka,' and check into your retreat nestled among misty hills and coffee estates. Visit Mullayanagiri Peak, Karnataka's highest point, the cascading Jhari Waterfalls, and Hirekolale Lake. As dusk settles over the Chikmagalur hills, return to your cozy retreat for a hearty dinner and unwind by a crackling campfire — sharing stories under the stars with the scent of coffee lingering in the cool night air.

  3. Day 2: Chikmagalur & Belur | Coffee Estate Walk to Hoysala Splendour

    After breakfast, take a refreshing walk through fragrant coffee estates, immersing yourself in the rich heritage of the region's famed plantations, then visit the intricately carved Chennakesava Temple at Belur and the Yagachi Waterfalls. After exploring Chikmagalur's cultural and natural treasures, begin your journey back to Bangalore — carrying with you the aroma of coffee, serene landscapes, and unforgettable memories of the hills.
