Kodachadri Trek With Jeep Ride And Malpe Beach | Muddie Trails

Friday 09:00 PM - Kodachadri Hill · Valur · Bangalore

Let’s hike up the amazing landscapes of Kodachadri.
Come, quench your wanderlust by joining Muddie Trails on this exciting journey to one of the most beautiful places you can ever trek to!
Experience the Western ghats at it’s best on this majestic mountain that has a thick forest, grasslands, chilling waterfalls in between and then a thrilling ridge walk. The landscapes that you will see from the top of the mountain are just mind-blowing.

The hike, though it’s awesome, will take its toll on your body. So we shall take a Jeep ride back to base-camp.

The majestic Kodachadri is relatively close to the Arabian Sea. On a clear day, we might even be lucky to see the Ocean!
Sometimes, the sun sets into the cloud bed which is very unique and mesmerizing to watch.
All in all, Kodachadri is a true wonder of mother nature. A trek that cannot be missed.

How can we miss the beaches when we are traveling so close to the west coast? Let’s also head to the most happening Malpe beach of Udupi & walk barefoot on the beach sand.

There’s also plenty of mouth-watering Sea-food at Malpe for the foodie in you. The icing on the cake is many water activities and boat ride to St Mary’s Island that are opened by the Karnataka tourist department when there is no risk of high tide.

Kodachadri with Malpe beach is an experience to cherish.

Wait no more. Just Get Muddie.
