About

Kodachadri is located in Shimoga district and is perhaps one of the most spoken-about trails in Karnataka. The temples of Sri Mookambika at Kollur, some 21 km from Kodachadri, of Adi Shankara and of goddess Mookambika beckon to tourists all year round. Given that most of these temples are nestled in misty dense forests, with pleasantly cool surroundings, its no surprise that people throng to them from all over the world.

Catching a glimpse of the evening sunset into the Arabian Sea from its peak offers an enchanting experience, a combination of mountain and ocean, something very few in this world get to witness.

Hike through dense rainforests, mesmerizing waterfalls and beautiful viewpoints. Come down with an adrenaline rush with an Off-Road Jeep Ride. This is one hiking trail in our beautiful state of Karnataka you do not want to miss.

Come and experience Namma Karnataka Namma Style.
