About Merthi Gudda Trek, Chikamagalur :
Merthi Gudda trek offers an unforgettable journey, combining its serene trails, ancient fort, and stunning sunrise views into one unforgettable journey. Along this adventure, you will encounter an abundance of flora and fauna native to this azure region; additionally,y you may have a chance to venture through labyrinthine caves filled with stunning stalactites and stalagmites! Erosion and natural forces have over time formed an intricate terrain, featuring undulating hills, towering cliffs, and hidden caves in the foothills. Merthi Gudda stands out among more popular Western Ghats treks like Kopatty and Ballalarayana Durga by offering an intimate journey into the wilderness. This scenic route exudes seclusion while still having historic relevance. Ruins of fortresses perched atop hills bear witness to an earlier time, when these strategic points served as military fortifications and defence against invaders. Furthermore, numerous temples and shrines enhance its spiritual and cultural significance further. Merthi Gudda trek may be classified as an Easy grade trek, yet its obstacles still present a unique set of challenges for trekkers of any grade. A combination of steep ascent and altitude gain can prove daunting for people living sedentary lifestyles.
