Place is awesome. Currently trekking is closed and road is very bad. Bike can go through but car cannot.

Currently this place is temporarily Closed due to the presence of some elephants and tigers(we were told this by the forest department officials at the entrance) Hard to get there and no notifications or posters at the entrance of the road.The road to get to trek start point is extremely risky and dangerous. Bikes might be able manage to get up there with some difficulty at their own risk. Do not waste your time and efforts to get there.You could visit Kabbe Hills and Chalavera waterfalls instead. Hit a like if this was helpful 😊

Excellent place to hike. The hike is moderate, the total length of the hike form peak to forest check post is 4km one way. It goes through 2 sets of forest and dry land to get to the peak. The trail is very obvious, there is a 100inr entry fee at he check post (mostly cash). One can drive all the way to the available parking spot, from where the check post is 800m. If you have a good off-roader you can drive all the way to the check post and park there. They usually do not allow solo. When I went there were elephants on the trail, I saw none but elephant dung was all over the place. The view from the peak is excellent you can see the Kabbe hill from there.

One of the best treks in Coorg. There is no designated parking yet as they are still constructing the road up to an entry point, but you can park along the way and start trekking wherever the road block is present. After that it is a 5km trek and completely worth it. ₹250 is the entry ticket and do take food and water along with a cap or sunglasses and don’t litter! There’s only one track you have to follow, indiahike website also has a well laid out explain of the same

This is a perfect place for trekker groups that have both first timers and regular trekkers. There are simple trails to follow for a few kilometres and then are deep forest trails with tree roots making the way to climb. There are lot of steep climbs and few of those can be very challenging because of rocks and sliding muddy routes The view from top is worth all sweat and effort. Beware of leaches and there are many 😀

A good trekking choice with modetate difficulty.Trek starting point is 2 km away from nalknad palace. After starting from trek starting point after 2km there is a forest check post(entry ticket 250 per person).the trek is around 5km one way and as we rrach the top the view is awesome. But please dont litter

Amazing views with the trek length of 4-5 Km on one side. I found little tough for the first time trekkers. Entry fee is of 250 and timings are 7am to 2pm. Recommends to visit in morning hours.

We took 3.5 hours for round trip trekking. Drones are not allowed. Carry water bottles.. There is nothing upside. ₹250 per head. Vehicles are not allowed

The Trek was physically demanding. Once we reached the top, there were endless mountains and clouds at sight. Having a trekking pole or stick can make the trek easier. The entry fee is ₹250.

This forest was very risky to climbing. And don’t go there at after 7AM and also lot of elephants and wild animals are there so you guys be careful

An amazing trek for adventure seekers. 3rd highest peak in Karnataka. It is an easy to moderate trek and most of it is a trail to follow. We did in the month of February but it will be really awesome If you do it post monsoons.

Perfect place to hike in Virajpet. Tadiandamole is the first heights peak in Kodagu ( coorg) and third height peak in Karnatak. The total distance from the checkpost is 6km up and down. The Trek difficulty level is easy to moderate. It's take around 6 hour's to complete the Trek and timings is 7AM to 3PM.

We are a total 7 members (age 28 - 35). We have started around 9:00am and returned at 5:30pm. Charges Rs. 250 per head. It was a nice great experience for us. The top view is stunning beauty 😍.

The best time to visit will be in the morning. It takes almost 4 hours to complete the trekking. There is a ticket charge of Rs.250 per head.

Good hiking place. It takes about 2 hrs from forest check post, if weather is cool and without break.

Beautiful place, keep some extra snacks for dogs. There are few dogs which accompany trekkers till the top of the mountain.

Easy to climb. But be careful of the leaches during monsoon. TOO MANY LEACHES.

Challenging trek- not recommended for beginners Carry atleast 1.5L or water for each person Carry salt (there are a lot of leaches) No guide required Get a good pair of trecking shoes. Recommended to carry some sweet candys and calories packed food.

This photo took on 4 June 2022 .. the 3rd highest peak in Karnataka gives incredible views throughout trekking.. some leaches attack and be careful about elephant attack ..
