Overview

The Kodachadri Peak Trek is one of the most diverse and rewarding trekking experiences in the Western Ghats a perfect mix of dense forests, waterfalls, grasslands, and panoramic summit views. Located inside the beautiful Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary, this trek takes you deep into a rich biodiversity zone, where every stretch of the trail feels different and exciting. The journey begins through thick forest trails, gradually leading you across stream crossings and rocky paths, before opening up to expansive grasslands shaped by strong mountain winds. Along the way, you’ll also pass the stunning Hidlumane waterfalls, adding a refreshing and adventurous touch to the trek. As you gain elevation, the trail becomes steeper and more challenging, but the reward is worth every step a summit that offers breathtaking views of rolling hills and, on clear days, even glimpses of the Arabian Sea.
