These are the places Chikmagalur trips are built from. Each trip page lists exactly which of them it covers, and a private trip can swap one for another.

• Mullayanagiri: Karnataka's highest point at 1,930 m; the road goes most of the way and the last stretch is a stepped walk to a small Shiva shrine.
• Baba Budangiri: A ridge of caves and a shrine 30 km out, with the Manikyadhara falls on the same road.
• Z Point, Kemmangundi: A 40-minute walk through shola forest to a rock ledge that faces the sunrise; the star attraction of any Kemmangundi day.
• Hebbe Falls: A jeep track and a short trek from Kemmangundi to a two-stage fall you can stand under; fullest from July to October.
• Jhari (Buttermilk) Falls: A jeep ride down a rough track to a milky fall below Baba Budangiri.
• Hirekolale Lake: A quiet lake ringed by hills, 10 km from town, best at sunset.
• A coffee estate walk: Robusta and arabica under silver oak, with the drying yard and a cupping session on most estate stays.

A private trip runs the same plan at your own pace; a group departure follows it to the minute.

• Day 1: reach by noon, Hirekolale lake and the town temples, then an estate walk and sunset from the property.
• Day 2: Mullayanagiri at sunrise, Baba Budangiri and Manikyadhara, Jhari falls in the afternoon.
• Day 3: Kemmangundi and Z Point early, Hebbe falls by jeep, and the drive back after lunch.

Chikmagalur packages from Hyderabad start at ₹6,699 per person: ₹6,699 for 3 days, ₹11,499 for 4 days and ₹14,850 for 5 days. On a group departure that is the seat, the overnight travel from Hyderabad both ways, the stays on twin or triple sharing, the meals the trip page lists, the activities named on it and a Travloger trip captain for the whole trip.

What moves the price is the room category, the season and the group size. Weekends, long weekends and the December fortnight cost more than a mid-week date, and a group of four to six brings the per-person price down because the car and the rooms are shared. Entry tickets and anything not named on the trip page stay out of the fare, so the number you see is the number you pay.

Coorg is three hours west on the same coffee belt, so the pair make one trip: Mullayanagiri and the estates here, Abbey Falls and Dubare there.

Best time

September to March is the season: the hills are green after the monsoon, the mornings are misty and the trek to Mullayanagiri is clear. April and May are warm but the estates stay cool. June to August is heavy rain, when the waterfalls are at their best and the jeep tracks can close.

• September to March, 13 to 28°C: The season: green after the rains, clear sunrises on Mullayanagiri, cold on the ridge before dawn.
• April to May, 18 to 33°C: Warm in town, cool on the estates; the emptiest months.
• June to August, 16 to 26°C: Heavy rain and mist; the falls are full and the jeep tracks can close.

What to pack

Layers: 13°C mornings on the peaks even in a warm month. Walking shoes for Mullayanagiri and the Z Point path, a windcheater, a rain shell from June to September, and a torch for estate stays where the path to the room is unlit.

Hyderabad to Chikmagalur

Chikmagalur is about 700 km from Hyderabad, 12 to 13 hours by road, so the fixed-date group trips travel overnight on Friday and are back by Monday morning. There is no airport; Mangaluru, 150 km away, is the nearest.

Chikmagalur or Coorg? Both are coffee country. Chikmagalur is higher and better for walking, with Mullayanagiri, Z Point and Hebbe falls; Coorg has more to see without walking and more homestays to choose from. Chikmagalur is closer to Bengaluru at five hours and usually the cheaper of the two.
