If you’re craving fresh air, green hills, and a little thrill to break your routine, the Netravati Peak Trek is just the adventure you need. Tucked away in Karnataka’s Chikmagalur district, this offbeat trail is a scenic alternative to the popular Kudremukh Trek but with fewer crowds and just as much beauty. Picture mist-covered grasslands, winding forest paths, and clouds rolling beneath your feet, that’s Netravati for you.
Standing at a height around 1,526 meters (5,007 feet), it is named after the Netravati River, which originates here. The trail takes you through lush coffee plantations, shola forests, and open meadows before revealing breathtaking summit views of Kudremukh and the surrounding ranges. It’s a moderate-level trek, perfect for beginners with a decent fitness level.
