Attraction
Mullayanagiri Peak
At nearly 6,000 feet, Mullayanagiri Peak feels less like a trek and more like walking into the clouds. Early mornings bring drifting mist, sharp mountain air, and the distant sound of temple bells near the small shrine dedicated to Saint Mulappa Swamy. During monsoon and post monsoon months, the Western Ghats glow in endless shades of green, while roadside stalls serve hot chai and spicy bajjis against the chilly breeze. Start early to avoid dense fog on the winding roads. Visit between September and February for the clearest views, then stay a little longer at sunset when the hills quietly disappear into gold.
Relax with dinner and a peaceful bonfire experience under the cool mountain skies.
