This guided trek from Bangalore takes you onto those open ridges with a trek leader, so you do not need to plan the route, the stay or the transport yourself. The hills have no motorable road to the top, so you reach the viewpoint on foot or by jeep over rough tracks. The trails between hilltops are short and open, and on a clear day the view runs across the rolling grass towards Kudremukh. Sunset is the best time to be up there. There is also a quiet waterfall nearby. October to March is the best season, with cool, clear weather. In the monsoon the hills turn green, but rain and mud make the roads and trails harder, so we adjust plans when needed. Carry a jacket, because the ridge is windy and cold in the evenings. We handle transport from Bangalore, stay and meals as listed in the itinerary, and our trek leader stays with the group throughout.
