Coorg Tadiandamol Trek | Muddie Trails

Hello Trekkers!

The Third Highest Peak Of Karnataka Tadiandamol, At An Altitude Of Almost 1800 Meters Above Sea Level Is Well Looked After By The Forest Department. We Need To Take Their Permit, Make Sure We Do Not Litter Anywhere, Just Like Any Other Place We Visit. The Trek Is Not Really Difficult And Marks A Perfect Start For Beginners And Amateurs. The Reward Is Quite High For A Trek Of Just 6 Km One Way. One Gets To Trek Through Coffee Estates, Sprawling Grasslands, The Steep Mountains One After Another, And Scenic Views Of The Surrounding Valley As You Ascend. 

An Extra Perk Of Trekking In Monsoons Is The Clouds Passing Through You, Or Rather You Passing Through The Clouds. One Gets Clear Views Post Monsoons, But Every Season Has Its Own Charm In The Mountains. The Advantage Of Trekking In Monsoons Is, The Intermittent Drizzle And Cold Wind Won’t Let You Get Tired. The Valley Underneath Is Filled With Tropical Forests With A Good Amount Of Wildlife. Not To Worry, The Animals Usually Don’t Trek In The Daytime Like Us, Which Is Why The Forest Department Allows The Trek In The First Place.

It’s Beautiful, Pure, And Peaceful Out There. Tadiandamol Is A Trek That Cannot Be Missed.
