Forest Trails • Rolling Grasslands • Summit Ridge
Not just the summit - but the openness of the journey. Wide valleys, silent ridges, and clouds rolling across the meadows like a living canvas of the Western Ghats.
Located in the remote landscapes of the Western Ghats near Kudremukh National Park, the Netravathi Peak trek is known for its long ridgelines, sweeping grasslands, and expansive mountain views.
Covering approximately 14-16 km round trip, the trail passes through forests, open meadows, and mist-covered slopes before reaching one of the most scenic ridge summits in the region.
During the monsoon, the landscape transforms into layers of deep greens and drifting clouds - a raw and immersive trekking experience through the heart of the Western Ghats.
