Rediscover the Wild at Netravati Peak with Nimma Destination
Hidden deep in the misty folds of the Western Ghats lies Netravati Peak, one of Karnataka’s tallest and most mesmerizing trekking destinations. Often mistaken for its famous cousin Mullayanagiri (the highest peak), Netravati is its lesser-known sibling offering raw wilderness, spiritual stillness, and panoramic beauty without the crowd.
If you’re seeking an offbeat weekend escape where “the wild feels like home,” this trek curated by Nimma Destination by Yanadays is your sign.
🌲 Why Netravati is Special
- 🌿 14 km beginner-friendly trail through untouched rainforest
- 💦 Waterfall dips that rejuvenate your soul
- 🚙 Off-road jeep rides through forest check-posts
- 🌉 Kalasa Hanging Bridge & heritage visit to Belur Temple
- 🍃 Breathtaking ridgeline views of the Western Ghats
This isn’t just a hike. It’s a full-sensory reboot.
