The Kudremukh
peak trek can easily be described as one of the most beautiful treks in
the Western Ghats. The variety in scenery you get on this trek is not something
many other treks can boast of. There are overflowing streams that have to be
crossed, dark shola forests with crisp brown leaves fallen underneath, bamboo
shrubs tall enough to touch the sky, rolling green hills and finally, the peak
itself, where gusty winds can blow you off your feet while the scenery below
blows your mind.

Kudremukh
peak lies in the Kudremukh National Park, which is home to several species of
flora and fauna. Keep your eyes open for spot deer, wildfowl and peacocks
amongst other wildlife. Being a national park has certain implications on
trekking. Get a permit from the forest department at Kudremukha town for
trekking. Camping is not allowed in the national park. This means that the trek
to the peak and the return has to happen in a single day.
