About the trip

Located on the border between Coorg in Karnataka and the Wayanad district of Kerala, Brahmagiri is one of our favourite trekking destinations off Bangalore. It is said that when Ram and Lakshman were in search of Sita, Lakshman shot an arrow into the Brahmagiri mountain, and from here sprang the Iruppu Falls or the Lakshman Tirtha. This apart, it is the spectacular beauty of the terrain that never fails to beckon the adventurous trekker.

 

Each trek with Getoff Ur Ass has the potential to be an inward journey. Sometimes you discover a new resilience within yourself. Sometimes you meet old friends or simply discover new ones.

Itinerary

Day 1:
We set off from Bangalore & stay at a comfortable home stay at Srimangala.

Day 2:
In true Getoff Ur Ass tradition, the trek begins with the warm hospitality of a Coorg homestay. The next day, under the morning light, we set off on a trek that takes us through the Brahmagiri Wildlife Sanctuary and to the Narimale peak. The ascent is not very steep as we walk through forest path and quiet nooks, finally experiencing the splendour of the mountains and the solitude of the vast expanse that is the Shola grasslands.

Day 3:
The next morning, with the magic of the morning light still in the air, we set off to the Munikal Caves. Legend has it that the caves were the abode of ancient Rishis. They also hold a special allure to those who are fascinated by unusual boulder formations or enjoy climbing. Later, we emerge from the caves onto the mountainside. With the lush green peaks of Wayanad on the other side, we begin our descent into Kerala. Even if steep, the descent is easy. We walk through forest trails and winding mountain paths to emerge at temple town of Tirunelli.
Late afternoon start for Bangalore after a lunch stop at back at the home stay –
