About Gangadikal Trek, Chikmagalur:
The Gangadikal Trek offers an entrancing adventure nestled within the Kudremukh National Park in the Chikkamagaluru district, Karnataka. A lesser-known trail that blends physical challenge with spiritual renewal, this offbeat adventure lets you witness the raw beauty of the Western Ghats. Famed for its peak that resembles a horse's head ("Kudremukh" means "horse-face") and sense of seclusion that draws hikers from far and wide, famous personalities such as Kalpana Chawla have explored this rugged terrain, thereby adding an aura of mystery that only adds further allure. Gangadikal Trek offers stunning panoramas and intimate environments to provide an escape from daily stressors while experiencing nature at its finest. Popular among experienced hikers, this trek offers unparalleled tranquillity - with its remote villages, rugged terrains, abundant biodiversity and plentiful amenities along the trail of Gangadikal, it's sure to please all who choose to embark upon it. This trail is an ideal option for both experienced and novice trekkers, offering moderately challenging terrain that suits almost every fitness level. Additionally, this path is home to various animals and birds such as deer, lion-tailed macaque monkeys, Malabar giant squirrels, Leopards, and Common Langurs; many of which make an appearance on this trek! As soon as you reach the peak, take in stunning views of the entire ridge and its deep valleys. Additionally, it may prove challenging but ultimately enjoyable, climbing Gangadikar Peak offers you a rare and exclusive vantage of the Kudremukh range, unlike any other summit.
