A must see place in Chikamagalur. The scenic views from up the hills are breathtaking! The walk towards the peak is cool, foggy and windy. The fast movement of clouds through the hilly surface changes the visibility very often. There is a temple when you reach the peak, and stairs are provided after a certain distance of climbing the mountain. Overall a very nice experience.
Amazing peak to feel the clouds. Although many ride to the top but its risky as the roads are very narrow and dangerous at the peak. I drove myself and would not recommend to do so. Its better to hire a jeep and enjoy the drive as locals are expert and know where to stop for passing other vehicles.Once you reach the top, the place is amazing. Most of the time you would be in cloud. Worth the trek and climb to peak.
Mullyanagiri hills are a must visit place when travelling to chikamaglur.
These are the highest hills in karanataka at a height of 6300 ft AGL.
The main hills have a temple at the top which needs you to climb a flight of around 500 stairs. There are a few othere hills around which can be exl= plored if you need some time away from the crowd.
We experienced 3 times of weather during our 1.5 hr stay on the hills, initially it was sunny, later it became clouded and finally the clouds were at our level and we were getting hit in our faces with clouds. This was an amazing feeling. There is a trek you can take to reach the hills which is amazing if you are with a group of friends.
