Kotagiri trek: Trekking and Camping in the Western Ghats, South India

Located deep in the heart of the Western Ghats, the Kotagiri trek is situated in South India. The peak is located in Nilgiri district in the state of Karnataka. Standing tall and proud at the height of 5890 meters above sea level, it is one of the highest peaks of Karnataka.

330 km away from Bangalore, the Kotagiri Trek welcomes people of each age group. The trek is of a moderate grade of difficulty as the terrain starts with a gradual incline but soon gets steeper as you get further. Along the way, you will cross many streams bubbling through patches of dense foliage, especially if the trek is undertaken right after the monsoons! However, besides the occasional patches, the trail mostly passes through grasslands and meadows, which provide a stunning vista. You will find yourself marvelling at the serenity of the mountains again and again!

During the trek, you will be staying in camps on multiple sharing bases. Revel in the sheer joy of camping in the mountains, and enjoying a cosy bonfire and swapping stories around it! You can also choose to experience the warmth and hospitality of a homestay for this trek and explore the local culture!
