Treks in Chikmagalur

The trail showcases the characteristic montane grasslands of the Western Ghats, particularly during the monsoon and post-monsoon seasons when the hills turn green. The route begins in dense forest before emerging onto open grassy slopes that overlook the surrounding valleys. Early mornings often bring low-lying fog that fills the valleys, creating changing views as the sun rises. The hike ends at Z Point, a prominent viewpoint along the escarpment, while the mountain's true summit remains within a restricted area and is not accessible via the permitted trail. The well-defined path and gradual terrain make this trail suitable for families with children.
