At the peak, it is believed that ‘Shankaracharya’ meditated. En route to the peak, you will also find a moderate-sized waterfall deep inside the evergreen forest of Kodachadri, which is called ‘Hidlumane Falls’.

Personal expenses and other things not mentioned above.
Now that you have decided to join the trip, congrats on the excellent choice! Monks on Wheels assures you a real experience in nature, distinctive value and finest quality in service.
This is the day you are going to meet strangers (who will turn friends and even best friends by the end of the trip). We will be assigning pick up locations, ideally the closest to the pickup point you tell us. Once we pick everyone up, we will be distributing a form for you to fill up your details and then proceeding to have an ice breaker session.
Expect some fun activities which will help you get to know your fellow travellers a bit more. After the session, our event guides will brief you about the itinerary for the following day, post which you can get some shut-eye. We recommend you get some rest, especially since you have the Kodachadri trek the next day.
Once we reach the homestay, we will be allocating rooms while you sip on a hot cup of tea or coffee. We suggest you save the shower for after the trek in the evening and you can just freshen up instead and head for a delicious breakfast. While the Kodachadri trek will be fun, it is primarily a rain trek and it would be great if you can wear comfortable, quick-dry top and bottoms and shoes which offer a good grip. We will be carrying salt and Dettol to help avoid leeches.
Once we start the Kodachadri trek, we will be walking through a dense forest, crossing it and through beautiful paddy fields to reach a small tea shop where you are free to enjoy some chikki or biscuits. Once done, we will begin the climb up the gorgeous Hidlumane Falls which runs in seven cascades. After we reach the top of the falls, proceed for a bath and splash around in the pristine waterfalls and start the trek to the government guest house. We will be stopping here for a simple, but fulfilling, hot lunch, great after the cooling dip and the rain trek.
After lunch, we will start the next leg of the journey to reach the top where you will be greeted by a sight of lush green grasslands as far as the eye can see. If we are lucky and there is no rain, we should be able to see the backwaters and the west coast from the hilltop and even the sunset and pay respects to the ‘Sarvajna Peetha’ of sage Shankaracharya. We will then proceed to reach the guest house and take a jeep trip down to the homestay. Expect a fun, bumpy and memorable ride. We are often told by our travellers that they love this part of the Kodachadri trek.
After we reach the homestay, we will be greeted with hot snacks, tea and coffee. You can proceed for a hot shower and gather around for a campfire if the weather permits. However, don’t worry if there is no campfire because our organisers have plenty of fun games and activities to keep you engaged till dinner and even after if you are up for it.
We wake up to a hot breakfast, tea and coffee, a bit of lazing around and exploring the homestay surroundings and proceed to pack. Before starting our journey back to Bangalore, we head to the historical Nagara Fort which is covered entirely in the grass. We will be spending some time at the fort and climbing it. Worry not, the climb is minimal but offers a great view of the town below. The destination is also great for your insta pictures, so bring out those phones and cameras.
After we are done, we will start the journey back to Bangalore with a stop for lunch and tea. We should reach Bangalore by early night and will be dropping you back at your pickup locations.
