This is my 4th solo trekk with unknown team but end of the kodachadri trek we are so close nd back with lots of memories….. enjoyed with ODLs Karthik nd Rishi good guys ….thanks to entire team…..

Srikanth s – October 2, 2019

I have been to Gokarna Trek before wilth Nature walkers. I have observed in many organisations/ startups intial enthusiasm is always there. But what makes Nature walkers different is there consistency in providing service, Not deviating from goals/ideology due to ups and downs or for the sake of profit. They are passing on there experience/knowledge and brainstorm within themselves to keep the participants happy and safe. I haven’t been able to see one instance where there is some sought of negligence even from a budding group leader. I would definitely recommend anyone can go with Nature Walker

Archita Srivastava – January 3, 2019

Went to Kodachadri Trek with ODLS Amrita, Swapna and Avinash on 22 Dec. All arrangements were nice and the ODLs were very helpful. They converted a group of 21 strangers into a team and by the end of trip, everyone was having a great time. Homestay was in a jungle area where one can enjoy nature. The facilities were good as well. Watched a perfect sunset at the peak and enjoyed a rollercoaster of jeep ride. The whole trip was well organized and executed. Kudos to the team!

Arun – November 11, 2018

So it was the first unofficial of our office colleagues and we were actually planning for Kudremukh Trek but fortunately yes fortunately we didn’t it and the alternative was Kodachadri Trek. I honestly didn’t expect it to be this amazing since i thought it would be just a normal trek, however it was one of the most memorable treks i have been too. Our ODLs (Anupan, Shailesh,Shashank and Amogh) were so cool and there was so much games and the excitement level was always on a high and was never dripping down. The scenery was straight out of a fairy tale. The peak was exquisite and the sunset made it even more beautiful with all kind of colors. I would highly recommend it for everyone to try it at least once. A special thanks to Shashank for helping us so much to arrive on time to Bengaluru so that we could catch our bus back to Chennai. Thanks a lot bro.

Archana – October 31, 2018

Nature Walkers is extremely talented group, all the ODLs(Anupan, Shailesh,Shashank and Amogh) were great..they kept motivating us all the time and took care of everything. I had a great experience in Kodachadri Trek and it was worth it. Everyone should go for it atleast once.

Rinky Gupta – October 27, 2018

We randomly choose Kodachadri trek as it was a long weekend and we wanted to do something new as we had never been to any trek before so we didn’t knew what to expect and it turned out amazing. Our ODL’s (Shashank, Shailesh, Anupam, Amogh) were the motivating factor that helped us complete 14 km trek. I had never imagined i would get a chance to meet such amazing people in a trek. The accomodation, meals and overall arrangement were decent and hassle free. We were always kept motivated and engaged in some or the other thing. To manage such large group for a trek is never a easy task. I appreciate the efforts of our ODL’s. Had a lovely experience in Kodachadri trek. Looking forward for more such experiences with Nature Walkers.

Praveen Kumar S. – October 27, 2018

I have been a part of kodachadri trek on 20th oct 2018. It was awesome and the ODL’s (Shilesh, Shashank, Amogh and Anupam) were so friendly. People who trekked with us made this trip even more special. It was my first trekking experience and they all have made this as a wonderful memory to cherish. While trekking each and everyone helped others by giving their hands which really helped people who struggled a bit and finally everyone made their destination. And last but not the least MAFIYA game and dancing for ooooo ooooo song while returning back in bus has everyone gone crazy😂😂😂

Umang – October 24, 2018

Bored during the long dusshera weekend and tired of asking friends I decided to take on a walk with nature at Kodachadri and it turned out to be the best decision ever. The place is absolutely breathtaking and is every bit as beautiful as the pictures show and more! Words don’t suffice to express the varied beautiful landscapes and terrains experienced in one day. Nature walkers created the perfect experience which was amplified by the liveliness and zeal of the team, Shashank, Shailesh,Amogh and Anupam. They ensured everyone was safe and motivated enough to make it to the peak. They also went out of their way to make sure all the participants are comfortable throughout the trip. Participants were a great mix of cultures and we all had the best time ever! If you are new to the city or just bored of city life, I would definately recommend taking this trek. It’s surreal !

Geeta – October 24, 2018

Awesome experience……. Online booking is good idea, so many times we planned for trip but cancelled due to so many reasons and also need guide for this kind of trecks. Kodachadri is nice place for nature lovers.Hidlumane water falls ,top view and sunset was awesome. Looking for leeches, enjoying the nature and clicking photos….. Zeep ride while coming back was nice experience. The overall all arrangements was good. Naterwalkers organizers shashank,anupam,shailesh and took care of whole team and encouraged a lot. Home stay was also good. Need to have such a nice experience at least once in our life…. Shivappa nayak kote(Nagar fort) which is around 25km from kodachadri is nice place.Top view from fort is also nice and good place for photo shoot. Overall we spent nice time in kodachadri treck. I personally suggest all readers to experience such a treck once in your life….

Shibendra – October 24, 2018

Shailesh,shashank,Anupam,Amogh nice meeting you guys and new trek mates in kodachadri.

Good experience, looking forward to meet you again in my next trek adventure!!

Keep improving yourself!!

Sradha – October 24, 2018

This was my second trek and was super excited.Nature walkers leaved up to expectation and hospitality was good too.I am happy I completed this 14km trek with the help of ODL’s Shailesh,Shasank,Amogh,Anupam. They motivated in every way possible and were funny too. Got to meet new people,learn about them and yeah what can be more better than to stay fit and spend long weekend in such a way 🙂

Prapti Acharya – October 24, 2018

Kodachadri trek (19th Oct-21st Oct) Since it was a long weekend, me and my friends (group of 5 girls) decided to try something adventurous, “Trekking”. Non of us had prior trekking experience and we didn’t do much research on how this is going to be, we just saw the reviews were nice and place is nice and beautiful and for us the trek was on!! The entire trip was very well organized, we found out once we had booked our tickets. We were well informed about each and everything, in short, we worried about nothing. The trip bega on Friday night, we boarded the bus, there were close to 55 people including 4 ODLs and we had an introductory session where we got to know new people. On Saturday morning we reached the homestay where they had arrangements for food and accommodation, it was nice. Then started the trek. I wouldn’t say it was easy, at least for first timers like us it’s bit difficult but the 4 ODLs Shashank, Anupam, Amogh and Sailesh guided us throughout the way, lended a helping hand and made it possible for us to complete it. There were times when we totally gave up but they motivated us to keep moving and complete trek. We covered different terrains, farmland, waterfall, mountains, forest and what not. The satisfaction we had when we reached to peaks cannot be expressed in words. A view so beautiful, the greenery, weather, great leads and nice people made this one hell of an experience. The sunset point where we ended the day was amazing!! We traveled back to the homestay in Jeep’s, the Jeep ride in the mountains was another experience all together, Thrilling!! Bonfire at the end of day in the homestay was the best! Next day we left for Nagara fort. Throughout the way in the bus we danced, sang, played games and we were always engaged in activities. We returned home with a lot of memories to cherish, made new friends,the ODLs are photographers too and clicked pictures so amazing!! I would recommend this to all and I look forward to many more treks.. 🙂

Abhipriya – October 23, 2018

It was my first trip with Nature Walkers to the Kodachadri trek, and although I have done several solo trips before, this was truly amazing! Convenient pick up point, engaging intro session on the bus, followed by an exploratory 14 km trek covering various terrains – from dense forests, lush grasslands, rocky hills to powerful yet soothing waterfalls, it had it all. The tranquil sunset view at the peak was a treat to both camera as well as our eyes and the puffy sanguine clouds were an additional delight. Beating the heat next day, we managed to do an awesome photoshoot at the Nagara fort as well. Kudos to the Outdoors leaders (Shashank, Amogh, Shailesh and Anupam), who were very encouraging, supportive, and gave enough breaks to make the entire trek very comfortable. Looking forward to take another walk in the nature with you guys! 🙂 So go with your friends or book a solo trip (you will end up making some really awesome friends), and experience an easy on the pockets, fun-filled, safe and adventurous trek!!!

kuldeep somayaji – October 22, 2018

Kodachadri trekkking through Nature Walker’s group ….did an ever remembering trek of 14kms through the forest ….Came back through jeep which was also nice journey through mud road ….watched the sun set from the peak ….nagara fort was also nice historic monument ….Altogether shd thank Nature walker’s team Shashank,Shailesh,Anupam and Amogh fr making our trek colorful….

Shyamkumar – October 22, 2018

The trek to kodachdari was amazing experience thanks for oDLs(Shashank, Shailesh, Amogh, and Anupam) were energetic and supportive . Thanks for the all who are in trip and thanks again oDLs

Rainie Patnaik – October 22, 2018

We were a group of 5 girls who decided to go on our first trek to Kodachadri with “Nature Walkers”. I can’t tell you how glad I am that we made this decision. The Trek is a bit tough for first timers but the mesmerizing sight is worthy of it. Going by the amount that we paid for the trek, the homestay was really good. The food was average but the warm hospitality made all the difference. During the trek, you’ll climb across different types of terrain and the view will be enchanting throughout. Not to forget, our amazing encouraging leaders (Shashank, Shailesh, Amogh, and Anupam) were taking care of each and every individual throughout the trek. The cherry on top, they are all amazing photographers as well. 😉 The best part was the scary Jeep ride that we took from the peak while returning! We even had a bonfire in the night which was very comforting after such a tiring day. The next day we visited the Nagara Fort and returned back to Bangalore. My overall Experience– I simply loved the bus journey, the trek, the scenic beauty, the companions, and the Outdoor Leaders. So if you have a doubt whether to choose “Nature Walkers”, go ahead and give it a try. Trust me you’ll love it. Aaaand, thank me later 😛

Adyasha – October 21, 2018

I went for the Kodachadri trek this weekend with my friends. It was an awesome experience. We had not experienced anything like it before. It was our very first trek but thanks to all the ODLs ( Shashank, Amogh, Sailesh, Anupam) , who were with us at each and every step of the journey and helped us complete the trek successfully. It is a difficult trek, for a first timer, but at the end the view is totally worth it. Amongst the sea of clouds, the Rays of sunshine make for a spectacular view. The entire day will be filled with adventures. You can experience different types of terrain, farm fields-forest-waterfall-hill , all at once with this single trek. The ODLs are very responsible, they make sure each and everyone completes the trek. Added advantage – They are awesome photographers as well 😉

Would highly encourage everyone to go for this trek!

Viji VJ – October 15, 2018

My first trekking with Nature walkers. I’m 40+, mother of 3 kids. At first I was doubtful about my endurance. Organisers Mr. Rishi, Mr. Karthik and co-trekkers kept encouraging me to finish and even carried my bag few times. At times it was even a blur whether the mountain itself was calling, ‘come on Viji you can do it, just few more steps!’ View on the top was worth all the effort. Breathtaking. Waterfalls refreshing. Good points: Food at homestay, bonfire, inspirational ods, young energetic co trekkers, games played in bus, buttermilk at first clearing, passing fog. Watch out for leeches, pull up socks over your pants, wear dry fit outfit (it dries up before we reach top) full sleeves, carry very very light for trekking. Leave other stuff in homestay. Once you reach jeep tracks near tree top, don’t hesitate to ask for jeep ride to lunch point. It will save 2 kms climb which u can use to reach temple and summit. (Next time i definitely will). A special thanks to Mr. Saurav, operations. Looking forward to join in many more trips with nature walkers. It’s very safe for women. Weekend worth spent.

Nature Walkers – October 16, 2018

Thank You so much Viji for the lovely comments. I am sure many others will get motivation by this. Stay fit, keep exploring 🙂 You are a Nature Walkers now 😀

Pranav Chitrio – October 8, 2018

Kodachadari is an awesome place if you love nature. Breathtaking views, lush green surroundings, adventurous trek. Nature Walkers did a great job. Subir and Dilip, you were awesome!!

Swetha Mukka – October 8, 2018

Hello everyone, It was first trek to Kodachadri Peak on 6th Oct 2018, it was amazing experience and I really dont have words that I have completed the trek with all extensive support of “Subir Singh” (The Young Men Always), we really enjoyed the waterfall and had shower which was awesome experience in lifetime, I wouldnt get this moments even I f i spent 3lakh bugs going to Europe or..round the globe. During this journey, we exchanged our thought process about life and shared funniest moments in life which would be most memorable things in my life.And I never forget the Ghost stories and have memories which I got scared and slept after listening Gayatri Mantram..thats funniest thing happened around me. If any one would have any Ortho problem or scared feeling, I would really suggest Subir Singh as ODL(Outdorr Trek Leader) to appoint as trek leader to any location and most imp is he is very dynamic person loads with infinite energy.Many people would have issue about and Food and Homestay, for me it doesnt matter,we need to experience the Nature and I loaded with full of memories while I am returned back to home. I reached home at 4AM on Monday and made my Hubby to wake-up and shared my Adventure Trek experience, it was that amazing.Sorry Anand to disturb you but I couldn’t sleep without sharing the experience. Dilip as an ODL would young person to handle a team which is really appreciate and best of luck to you. Last but not the least, we really enjoyed Forest Safari after the trek, it was much better than Desert safari(Qatar,Dubai). Next time I would plan with my cousins with Nature walkers with Subir Singh as Trek Leader which would be one more beautiful memories. Guys,Never think you r late, lets begin and experience the Adventures Trek with Beautiful Sunsets and Hill Views with Nature Walkers with Subir Singh.

Once again cheers to Subir Singh and all the best to you!!!! :-):-) ********

Regards, Swetha Mukka

Sagar Suryawanshi – October 6, 2018

My first trek with Nature Walkers to Kodachadri on Sept 28th. It was wrongly booked for 28th Oct but Hemanth quickly adjusted it. We were a group of 50 trekkers and guided by extremely energetic ODL’s – Shailesh, Pranshu, Saurabh, Jagadish and Nikita who made sure everyone reached to the peak. This was my first trek with my 12 yr old Son and I was bit worried about his safety, but all ODL’s including other trekkers took very good care of him during entire trip. We started around 11am and reached Hidlumane waterfall around 1:30pm where everyone enjoyed in waterfall. We reached peak around 6pm for Sunset which was an experience in itself. We were above clouds and the view was divine from top. Many thanks to nature walkers team for a comfortable homestay, good food, bonfire & loads of fun throughout the trip. Highly recommended to those who are willing to take their kids on this adventure. Just go for it! Looking forward to do another trek soon!!

Subhashree – September 25, 2018

It was my first Trek with nature walkers to the kodachadri peak, although I’ve already done the same trek last year. I had more expectations from the nature walkers group. Right from the start,ice breaker session in the bus on the way to kodachadri till returning back to home Bangalore safely, the outdoor leaders (Shailesh, Shashank & Supratik ) took care of everything beyond perfection. As outdoor leaders, all the 3 of them lead us 28 people safe to the top, constantly motivating us. Kudos to nature walkers for a comfortable homestay and yummy food & mostly importantly the enormous fun we had throughout the trip. Looking forward to do another trek soon with Nature walkers !!

Indrila – September 25, 2018

It was a treat to be a part of Nature Walkers Kodachadri Trek team member. I am sorry that I can only give 5 stars to Nature Walkers. I would have preferred 10 stars or more. It was my first trek and it was a lifetime cherishable one that I had with my friends and others who had joined me in the trip. The adventures that were found around every corner on this trekking were beyond my expectations. All thanks to our fantastic trek leaders – Shashank, Shailesh and Supratik for being very supportive and encouraging. There was great motivation from them to push all of us to reach next level and kept us engrossed in the trek. Everything was organised perfectly from the pick up to every detail. Thanks for the success to each and every team member. Overall it was a fantabulistic experience!!!

Rishi saxena – September 24, 2018

Very lovely experience. The Trek was amazing it is filled with jungle , waterfall and western ghats grassland. Most scenic views on the way. The guide Shashank, Sailesh and supratik were amazing and were very professional. Got beautiful memories .

Roshan Rajagopal – September 24, 2018

Well organised. Highly recommeded for Beginners to Experts ,Anyone. And great effort by the 3 coordinators Shailesh Sashank And Supratix!!

Swathi – September 24, 2018

Me and my friends booked this trek and it turned out to be and amazing trip we have ever had. Right from the start, our out door leaders Shailesh, Shashank and Supratik made sure we were comfortable and safe. They motivated us throughout our 14 km trek and made sure no was left behind. Everytime someone had a hard time while trekking they made sure the whole group stopped just for the person could join them. Even the people with whom we trekked were amazing and friendly. We shared stories and food throughout the trip. Without them and the leaders I wouldn’t have completed the trek nor I would have seen the sunset. The Jeep ride back to home stay was thrilling. The home stay was decent and the food was good. The ride back to Bangalore was filled with dance to all peppy songs. Even post reaching Bangalore, the leaders made sure we reached home safely. Thank you so much for the fun trip and amazing memories.

Saradha – September 24, 2018

A refreshing getaway that isn’t heavy on pockets but rejuvenating. Our guides(Shailesh, Shashank and Supratik) were full of enthusiasm and ensured that each one of us felt good throughout the 2 day trip. Special mention to Shailesh who was very energetic and friendly. The waterfall dip was fun and the fulfillment at the peak is worth the exhaustion, the jeep ride back is a different experience altogether! Would definitely recommend this for a quick weekend break! Cheers Nature Walkers. Looking forward to much more fun.. !

Ashmeet – September 13, 2018

I loved the trek. It had almost everything. From steep slopes, rice plantations, a waterfall, jeep rides down the hill.

People were great in the group. The Nature Walkers guys never let the group feel down. Had tons of fun with games, singing and dancing. Plus they had 4 cameramen who clicked so many pictures of us. Never met such patient photographers.

Vishwa Sharan – September 11, 2018

Got an opportunity to trek to Kodachadri through Nature Walkers and it was a memorable trek. The Outdoor leaders were friendly and they they created a lively environment within the group. Reached Kodachadri home stay early in the morning and the trek started at 9 AM. The trek experience was beyond my expectation. This trek has complete package dense forests, waterfall, green hills , beautiful sunset , adventurous jeep ride , camp fire at home stay. Made good friends at the trek and it’s safe for the family and ladies. I am looking forward to have more treks with Nature Walkers in the future.

Here is my experience of this trek – https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SLQ9WxWv9Rc&t=176s

Vishakh Ayyaji – September 10, 2018

Thanku guys an amazing experience…

It’s really amazing trip. I met new friends. Like a trip to heaven….

Ravi Shankar – September 10, 2018

It was a very nice trek. We went on Sep 1st week and there is enough water at the Hindlumane water falls to play and relax ourselves. After that the trek is a bit steep but not that difficult. At the top, you literally trek in clouds which is awesome. We are lucky enough to see the sunset clearly, most of the times it will be cloudy. Kodachadri is not at all commercialised or developed enough for tourism, but thats exactly why i would recommend it. You may not find comfortable home stays and delicious food, but decent enough to go for a trek there.

Lakshmi – September 10, 2018

Awesome and must go trek for trek lovers. Recommend to go with nature walkers.

Amrita – September 6, 2018

A very refreshing journey to the kodachadri peak which has everything from its densed forests to waterfalls ,the meadows spreading everywhere and the perfect sceneries. Had an awesome time disconnected from outside world specifically because of the perfect arrangement by the outdoor leaders Hemant ,Pransu and Anurag. The best thing which is different from other treks is how the nature walkers team involved everyone and made the journey easier . Overall , an unforgettable experience and looking forward to join for another trek with nature walkers. Kudos to the team.. !!!

Arpan Mondal – September 4, 2018

Big thanks to NatureWalkers for neatly organizing such a wonderful trek to Kodachadri. Outdoor leaders Neelakshi, Anurag, Subir, Saichand were more friends than just guides. They were with us at every step. Everyone in the trek has enjoyed as a team and have become good friends. Special thanks to Anurag for carrying a guitar, to Subir for sharing his trek experiences and keeping us cheered up at every moment. Saichand and Neelakshi were very energetic and helpful. I totally enjoyed the trek! I wish to go with NatureWalkers again. Recommending everyone to trek with NatureWalkers!

Bibhu – September 2, 2018

Experienced a new kind of expedition in my life .

Loved the way everything was planned and all the fun Heamant’s Laws of Motion” , all rounder Pranshu’s guitar, and bhai Anurag ka dance and shayeri wah wah …

Kudos to the Outdoor Leaders Hemant , Pranshu , Anurag.

May the force be with you Naturewalkers.

Malay panchani – September 2, 2018

After long long time, I shifted again feom bike road trip to trekking. So you need that li’ll extra boost for charish it for lifetime and nature walkers surely did turbo boosting for me. I thoroughly enjoyed the trek and it was so energetic that we couldn’t feel any tiredness throughout our journey. The main thing I was worried about mostly on guided events you are not given enough time to enjoy the moments it is more like covering the places, but all hands down to natue walker coordinators, they not only gave unlimited time to enjoy but enjoyed with us with their powerful stories and singing, dancing and music skills. Also after trek they kept checking about our health and fitness to ensure we return our corporate life smoothly. I can proudly say after this “I am a nature walker”.

P.S. : enough food and proper care was given throughout the trek so don’t worry just join nature walker family to have a experience that you can cherish for a long time.

Divya Prakash – August 30, 2018

Amazing…. The trek , difficulty, the fun, the crew, the team. All amazing. Good itinerary, good plan of action by ODL. Hemant the knowledge base, Pranshu the singer, Anurag the entertainer. Everything was amazing and the peak was just peaceful. Very good experience with good team. Thanks Nature walkers

Biswajit Sahu – August 28, 2018

It was an amazing experience. Motivating trek leaders and great support through out the trek. Good food and bonfire was fabulous. Thanks a lot Hemanth for arranging this and Pranshu,Anurag for all help. Would love to go on another trek with you guys. Keep doing good work. Hail Nature Walkers!

Kartheek Bv – August 14, 2018

It was my first trek enjoyed thoroughly. It was very serene and I enjoyed a very close connection with the nature. All the Trek leads were very helpful. Thanks to Shreesha , Anandh and Pranshu. Facilities at home stay can be made better.

Bhaskara.S – August 14, 2018

It was my second trek to kodachadri from nature walkers. It was a very nice experience with a team of 33. We were taken through a different world of ecstatic beauties of nature. The trek lead shreesha anand and Pranshu conducted the event very nicely. Overall it was a very jovial, lively and mind freshening event.

Anusha B – August 2, 2018

This weekend trek was a really happy surprise as I wasn’t expecting such a great experience… If you wanna go out in the rain and explore nature in its raw beauty I urge you to try this trek… The forest trails, the waterfalls and the misty hills are a wonderful change from your routine life..The home stay was decent, food was good , the team of nautrewalkers who accompanied us, especially Shailesh, took good care of us..If you want adventure, don’t think twice..just book and go…meeting new people on the way is an added bonus..:)

Chetan Kumar PG – July 30, 2018

Chetan Kulkarni – July 25, 2018

The place is Great,Nature Walkers is extremely talented group,Guides are very CoOperative.Special mention of Shailesh bhai..(Best person).

Trek was difficult for me as I don’t usually do trekking.But even then I could manage to complete the journey thanks to NatureWalkers.

Pro:-Good guides,Stay,Food,…..Everything u need in a trek is available,,,Just Go For it.

Con:-One issue ,Bus for pick up and drop is not so good,Roads too…So that will be a problem if you are of good height(6+)

Conclusion:-Excluding travel,,, everything with NatureWalkers was Marvelous

Navyashree H J – July 24, 2018

The whole experience of the trekking was excellent. Everything was very well organised. The Nature walkers team, especially Shailesh was very supportive, encouraging and enthusiastic. Food and accomodation was also very good. I made good friends and had so much fun dancing and singing while travelling in bus. It’s a worth weekend Trek. Thank you to the entire Naturewalkers team for helping us to create such an unforgettable memory!

Nikhil – July 24, 2018

It was good experience. All arrengments was excellent. I think everyone should try this

Farheen Mohammed – July 17, 2018

My first trek with lifetime memories,lived in adventures but the challenges were made easier by lovely people around.In heavy rainfall,with so much of excitement,fear,joy and happiness.. finally we reached to the top of the hill😍 and I must say it would never be possible without the super supportive guides👍. I would recommend every one to experience this once in a lifetime but before going for this trek,some precautions must be taken especially in rainy season-must carry torchlight,raincoat and umbrella with us, if it is summer then must carry plenty water and cap to protect from sunlight. Without proper shoe trek will be very much difficult. Better to take extra pair of clothes and socks for trekking. There won’t be any network available around,so must inform this to our dear ones before leaving. As the trek involves many challenges person who has fear of heights,water or having any health issues are not advisable to go. Finally thanks a ton to Nature walkers😍 for giving me such an awesome and unforgettable memory..I don’t think there could be any better place in south india than this😃😍

Mohammed siraz – July 17, 2018

This was my first trek .

#NaturewalkerPallavi – July 16, 2018

This is my fourth Trek in Karnataka. Till date Mullayangiri in chikmangalur was my favorite trek. But after Kodachari trek, it has been the bessssst of all and I don’t think I would feel the same way ever again in my life. It was amazing and adventurous. Thanks to Saurabh, Amogh and Pranshu for guiding us, entertaining and encouraging us throughout. Everything about this trip is so good. It was very well planned and organised. It would be unforgettable. I am already missing the trip. Hope to go for trek again soon#NaturewalkerstheBest#GoNatureWalkers

Akshaya Manogaran – July 16, 2018

The trek to kodachadri. Jus me and another friend of mine, two girls started from Chennai without any expectations but jus to escape the boring routine, little did we know that this trip is gonna be an experience fr life, yeah it did. We never felt it tough to mingle with the fellow pople we met, though we didn’t even knew the language. Coming to the trek, almost 9 hrs of walk through different terrains. Fully drenched in rain, after a point all physical stamina had no place to play, it all worked on the mental stamina. Thanks to the team who made sure everyone reached that is every 60+ people reached the top and returned back safely. Food and stay was filling, clean and hygienic. Second day to Nagara fort on the way to Bangalore, a scenic beauty reminds u many cinema songs, good view and good place to pose😂😂 Then back to Bangalore after like 10 hrs of bus journey which was one memorable experience. And we were dropped rightly and we reached the station on time for taking our train to Chennai. Well planned, well informed, executed with all perfection was all I felt. The trek guides take our COMFORT AND SAFETY MORE THAN THEIR OWN!!! HATS OFF!!!!! Thank you Saurabh Anna, Shailesh Anna and team for the friendship and all the memories we carried back home!!!!

Suganthi and Ruby – July 16, 2018

It was our third trekking in Southern part of India. It was a thrilling experience to witness the Hildumane falls and the hills of Kodachadri. Though it was tough one because of rain, we made it to reach upto the peak because of the dedicated n helpful organisers. Sourav, Shailesh, Amog, all were very caring which is difficult to find when ur grp is big in numbers. Pranshu was the rockstar of the journey. He did not let us get bored with his extra talents. Overall, it was like “do din me sadiyan ji Lena”. Kudos to all of u!

chirag mangal – July 16, 2018

This was my first solo trek and the team managed a group of more than 50 people which was an amazing job that they could have done. The experience during the monsoon season is just beyond expectation. I am definitly looking forward for a next trek with you guys.

Azhar Syed – July 16, 2018

Chirag Agile – July 9, 2018

This trek was truly an amazing experience. It was the best opportunity to get up close to nature and enjoy what it had in store for us. Going through lush forests and tall waterfalls was both relaxing as well as adventurous. Being aware and present in the moment, surrounded by nature really brings to light the harmony between nature and the soul and is amazing to experience.

Met amazing people like Trek leaders saloni, tushara and amogh who made this trip so lively and fun and were great company which contributed heavily to making the overall experience epic.

The 2 days stay in a minimal technology environment was detoxing and much required for our city lifestyle.

All this, topped off with tasty hot food just makes this one of the best experiences which makes you want to say “Yes, I’m *actually living* my life!!”

Thanks a lot naturewalkers for these unforgettable memories and eye opening experiences!!

Nishi Kanth – July 2, 2018

The best trek with the best people. Our trek leaders Sai chand and anurag were very responsible and entertaining. Personally I learnt a lot of things from the trek. Looking forward to do many more Treks with nature walkers. Kudos to nature walkers team. 😀

Jeevitha – June 21, 2018

After Kudremukh, I chose to trek kodachadri with nature walkers which was very well organized by the team. From the moment we started our journey to the moment we bid goodbyes to each other are so memorable. You feel every step is worth after seeing the beautiful Hidlumane waterfalls.Though we could not watch the sunset, the bumpy jeep ride was the perfect ending for the trek.The jamming session, mafia, dumb charades, antyakshari,Anurag’s Shayari, what else do you need for a perfect weekend getaway.Kudos to the entire team for making it happen.

Looking forward for many more treks with nature walkers.

Abhishek Paneri – May 28, 2018

It was my first organized trek and I joined solo. I was very apprehensive about the possibilities of me enjoying it when I do not know anyone in the entire group. However, these two days of trek turned out to be the days when I continuously laughed and enjoyed with people whom I never met previously in my life. I usually sleep for at least seven hours daily but the evening I returned from the trek, the entire tiredness disappeared somewhere and I spent entire night in front of the bonfire with some of the most amazing spirits in the world. This experience has inspired me to be part of such events every now and then. I would also like to appreciate the efforts put in by the group leaders Saurabh, Anand, Harshith and Mihir to make sure that all the trekkers reach on top of the peak inspite of the path being difficult for many trekkers like me in the group. It would not be fair on my part if I do not request you to experience this trek at least once in your life. And yes, situations may change at any moment in the wild. So always be prepared for unforeseen events that may occur and try to be a solution wherever you can. Lastly, it would be great to study the requirements list before joining a trek. A little bit of awareness will give you cherishable moments for the life time. Thank you Nature Walkers…

Anjana – May 24, 2018

This was supposed to be my solo trip (but obviously with a new set of people) that’s what I thought while I was getting back.. Because when I got in to the bus on Friday evening I felt left out for a while but when while I was getting back I had made a bunch of new friends.. And it was possible only because of “nature walkers”.. Starting from ice breaking till bidding goodbye.. We all were thoroughly entertained and we were taken the best care.. On the whole one of the best experiences I have had..

Twinkle Moolchandani – May 23, 2018

The most memorable event o my lie would be this trek Thanks to Nature walkers and the outdoor leaders for packing this trip with utter perfection! The waterfall was one of the most beautiful experience. Reaching the peak of 1345ft after a track of steep slope gave a feeling of achievement like no other. The ice-breaking sessions planned throughout the trip not only helped in knowing each other but also creating a bond for a lifetime. Thank you guys for this wonderful heaven experience, and people reading this I recommend to just sign up for it without any second thoughts!

Amit Jha – May 5, 2018

Awesome experience ! Although the weather was hot, we enjoyed each and every moment. This is something which you can’t miss if you really love nature and adventure. Food at home stay was homely and hygienic. Both Saloni and Kartik were outstanding during the trip. No complaints, no regrets. Guys go for it..

Shashvatha V – March 12, 2018

After our amazing experience at our first trek with nature walkers in kudremukh, we went to kodachadri. And once again I have to say it was amazing and well organized. We got to explore the pristine form of nature and it was a nice change away from the constant noisy urban life. Thanks to the amazing out door leaders Hemanth, Amrita and Pavan for constantly encouraging us throughout the trek to keep us going and giving us the best experience ever. And thanks to the amazing group of people I got to meet because of nature walkers. From the moment we got inside the mini bus till we came back home, every moment was precious. Thanks for all the games, the amazing stories we heard, and the experiences shared. I met friends like family there and would love to trek again with the same group someday.

If you are looking for a perfect weekend getaway then Nature walkers are the guys you should be going to.

Tushara Devi – February 1, 2018

Trek to Kodachadri (23-25th Dec 2016) – My first trek and will be the most memorable one. Very well organized and well informed. Loved the fact that the local village homestays amidst the most indigenous surroundings are chosen. Every promise in the itinerary/plan kept, garnished with effusive enthusiasm and energy. I would give it a 5++ 🙂 Totally worth it. Feeling Raphsodical!! Would love to be a part of more treks. Keep rocking NW 🙂

Kiran Kumar – November 7, 2017

Kodachadri is a wonderful place to visit. Everything was well planned. 13 Km or 15 KM trek started and ended on time. Both leaders were friendly and made sure everybody felt comfortable. While trekking we stopped at Hidlumale falls and had fun playing in falls, finally we reached peak by 5.p.m and it was memorable experience. 10 KM bumpy Jeep drive is also something I remember. Homestay was pretty basic with good veg food, enjoyed campfire and slept in a dormitory. In the morning, there were sounds of the peacock calling around Homestay though we couldn’t see one. I can’t forget while heading back to Bangalore most of them danced, played antakshari and enjoyed in the bus, it was like back to college. 

Trek with nature walkers was very enjoyable, affordable and really worth it.

My Advice – Not many hotels around this place hence don’t expect luxury as you’ll sleep in dormitory and share same bathroom. My advice is to get your own blanket and air pillow.

Regards, Kiran Kumar

Ranjitha – August 16, 2017

My second trekking with Nature Walkers to Kodachadri on 12th Aug Kodachadri is a mountain peak with dense forest. We started our trek in morning 10 a.m. we enjoyed trekking beside the water falls. while trekking we can see the beauty of Hidlumale falls and we had fun playing in falls. On the way we had butter milk sold in between, and crossed paddy field. By afternoon we reached grassland and had our power packs. By 4 p.m. we reached forest dept bungalow and lunch was ready, we finished having and started trekking again towards peak. As we were passing jasmine flowers welcomed us through out the peak. Finally we reached peak by 5.p.m.. It was fully covered with clouds and luckily it was not sunny. we even saw temple over there. It was so memorable, we enjoyed our trekking. The next day we also visited Nagara fort which was fully covered in green. Once again Im thankful for Nature Walkers and Im really happy that im also nature walker now.

Kodachadri Trekking

     The Kodachadri Trek in Shimoga is a famous Trekking destination. The name Kodachadri is derived from the Sanskrit word ‘Kutaja’ which means ‘Jasmine of hills’. The Kodachadri Peak is the 10th Tallest Peak in Karnataka and has been designated as a natural heritage site. The natural beauty of Kodachadri Hills Trek is unparalleled with glowing rays of the sunrise and the reddish yellow sunset. As part of the Western Ghats, it provides scenic vista for the Kollur Mookambika temple.

This Trek is situated in the heart of Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary and takes you through an out-of-the-ordinary village setting consisting of Paddy fields, thick jungles and marvellous grasslands. Additionally, the trek features ‘Hidlumane waterfalls’ which is a cascade/series of waterfalls that provide a unique experience to the Trekking that is not usually found in other treks. The thick grassland and the hills surrounding the peak have stories from the 7th century AD. It is believed that this is the place where Adi Shankara, the great Indian philosopher and Vedic scholar, visited and meditated at the peak. The altitude of the Kodachadri Peak is 5,735 ft and according to local legend, the temple of Mookambika Devi was established by Adi Shankaracharya who witnessed the vision of the goddess Mookambika himself.

The Kodachadri Trek is a suitable trek to hikers of all levels from beginners to the experienced ones. Various routes are available allowing individuals to make a choice of their experience to their respective abilities and comfort levels. One can explore diverse flora and fauna by trekking in the dense Shola forests of the Western Ghats at Mookambika Wildlife Sanctuary. There are mainly 3 trails towards the Kodachadri Peak, of which the most popular, as well as the most challenging one, is via the Hidlumane Waterfalls from the Sampekatte or Marukutakka. The Hidlumane Falls gets its name from a family residing near the falls. The Kodachadri Falls trail is comparatively steep and the hikers will be traversing through thick forests. The other relatively easier route is from Karakatte via Vallur. Trekkers can get private vehicles up to a certain point here and can begin their trek from there. The third option will be a jeep trail and it is the longest of all the three routes. All three routes will eventually conclude at the Moola Mookambika Temple and descending with an off-road bumpy Jeep drive is a real adrenaline rush experience at Kodachadri.

The best season to visit this place, taken into account the Kodachadri Weather, is the post-monsoon season, i.e. from September to February. This place is a part of the Mookambika Temple natural reserve and the five hour trek offers an ultimate view of the Sharavathi Backwaters. A stunning view of the Arabian sea can be witnessed from the peak, especially during the sunset. A very rare combination of Mountain View and Ocean View that can match with a very few other peaks in the current try.

Also, this place is perfect for bird-watchers as this region includes some bird species like White-bellied treepie, Pompadour green pigeon, Malabar Grey Hornbill, Great Indian Hornbill, Black-headed Oriole, Malabar Trogon, Yellow-browed Bulbul, Scarlet Minivet, Painted Bush Quail, Racket-tailed drongo, Black-naped Monarch and others.
