draft project

Karnataka on Foot

every trail, eventually

Trek Karnataka end to end — tick off its trails season by season, and write up the treks already done, so the record grows at both ends.

A copy carries over only the public parts you see here — the owners' private files never leave their own vaults.

🚧 Draft — not final. This page was auto-generated as day-one scaffolding for the project and still needs a human pass before it reads as finished. The blanks and placeholders below are intentional — someone who runs this project should fill them in and delete this notice.

Treks — master list & past

Two lists in one: the treks already done (written up first, while the memory's fresh) and the master list of every trail worth doing, grouped by region and season. The past treks aren't nostalgia — they're the most useful trail notes we own, for whoever goes next.

Past treks — write these up first

Trek: · When (season & year): · Company: Route: trailhead, distance, elevation, time taken Conditions: what the season did to it What we'd tell someone going tomorrow: the single most valuable line — the leech socks, the water point, the early start, the permit Photos / GPS trace: filed

Trek Region Season done Difficulty Written up?

Master list — every trail worth doing

Trek Region Best season Difficulty Permit needed? Done?
Kumara Parvatha Kodagu / DK Oct–Feb hard yes
Tadiandamol Kodagu Oct–Mar moderate
Kudremukh Chikmagalur post-monsoon hard yes
Mullayanagiri Chikmagalur Sep–Feb easy–moderate
Kodachadri Shivamogga Oct–Feb moderate

(Verify current permit rules and seasonal closures before each — Western Ghats access changes with the monsoon and with forest-department orders.)

The rhythm

  • One trek a quarter, minimum. Monsoon choices made with the rain (leeches, slippery rock, closed trails) — not against it.
