Questions
Which rides are paid to local operators?
The jeep ride to Jhari Falls, the jeep ride to Hebbe Falls, the ride up to Mullayanagiri top, the ride up to Seethalayyanagiri and the Muthodi jeep safari. Local operators run these, so you pay them directly and the money does not come to us. The places are still on the route and in your day plan.
Why are there no prices on this site?
For a trip, the cost depends on group size, number of days, where you stay and where you start from. For a bus, it depends on the route, the date and the bus size. Send the trip planner or the bus form to us on WhatsApp and we reply with a quote.
Can we do fewer than five days?
Yes. Day 1 works alone, Days 1 and 2 make a weekend, and so on. We can also swap places in and out to suit how fast the group walks.
Can we hire a bus?
Yes. Mini buses (26 seats) and 31- and 45-seat buses for picnics, weddings, college packages and other trips, anywhere in Karnataka. Buses don't run the Chikkamagaluru sightseeing routes; those are done in cars, jeeps and Tempo Travellers.
Which bus do we need?
It depends on the group: the mini bus seats 26, the others 31 and 45. Bigger groups get more than one bus. The bus form suggests a mix for your number of people.
How do I book a bus?
Fill in the bus form in the Bus hire section: occasion, route, date and number of people. It opens WhatsApp with everything filled in, and we reply with a quote. You can also call or WhatsApp +91 73386 47331.
Do you take school and college groups?
Yes, of any size, with special trip plans and benefits for students. Tell us the batch size and dates and we will send a plan and a quote.
When should we go?
June to September is monsoon: full waterfalls, mist, and some slippery tracks. October to February is cool and clear. March to May is warmer, but the hills stay milder than the plains.
Do you offer pickup from other cities?
Yes. We pick you up in Bengaluru or Mysuru and drop you back at the end of the trip. If you reach Chikkamagaluru on your own, we meet you there. Choose it in the planner above.
