Day 1

Nitturu is a small village at the base of Kodachadri hill which is about 394 kms away from Bangalore. The trek is considered to be moderate for beginners. And a night journey from Bangalore makes is more convenient for trekker to explore this place and return back to Bangalore. 

The trek contains everything from forest, waterfall, green meadows, farm, rocky path and peaks. The Kodachadri peak is popular for its sunrise and sunset. As we are starting our trek in the morning we would be able to witness the sun set from the peak.

After fresh-up and hot breakfast we would start our trek. The jungle route of the trek is little ahead from the homestay on the jeep road. The jeep road is straight up to the peak. After taking a right into the jungle we would trek till the Hidlumane waterfall.

On the route of Hidlumane waterfall, we would be crossing through a small hut where you can refresh yourself with fresh butter milk. All worries fade away when cold water of fall touches your body. No other wonderful event would excite you there then adding a nature shower into your travelogue. 

The trail get a bit steep after the waterfall through the dense forest of Kodachadri.

A steep inclined walk to the peak and the sunset from the peak would definitely remind you that nothing comes for free in this world. If the Nature gives you a stunning view of sunset then it would also take some of your sweat as payback. 

After spending a quality time at the peak with packed lunch. We would hold our time at the peak for the sunset. The view of sunset from the peak would hold all your clocks and alarm and remind you that life and nature combining makes a perfect couple.
