Kodachadri Peak Trek
Venture into the Jasmine of the Ghats. A mystic trail to Sarvajna Peetha and Hidlumane Falls.
Adventure Overview
Kodachadri is a natural heritage site and the state's 10th highest peak. The trek is legendary for its diversity—passing through the multi-tiered Hidlumane Falls, dense canopy forests, and finally the ridge-walk to the Sarvajna Peetha where Adi Shankaracharya is said to have meditated. The sunset over the Arabian Sea from the peak is a spiritual experience.
