| At Kodachadri peak. ATG in 2016 March |
KODACHADRI , the 10th highest peak in Karnataka is one of the well renowned Natural Heritage Site. Receiving an annual rainfall of around 600- 700 cm the hill forms the background of Mookambika temple in Kollur.
Crossing the breathtaking meadows, trifling lush green vegetation , ever green jungle thickets, numerous brooks & streams to reach this Holy Sanctum/temple/mantap of Aadhi Shankaracharya called Sarvajnyapeeta where one gets to experience the true holiness of the place. The mantap located exactly at the peak gives a 360 degree view of the surrounding. Though the sunrise is quite mind blowing from the peak, trekkers and tourists flock to kodachadri to witness the sunset which is an unbelievable event that takes place every day. We get to see TWO SUNS, rather the only sun and its reflection on the great Arabian sea coast thats visible from kodachadri. Truly a not to miss sighting it is.

Trekkers wind up their walk at Hindlumane waterfalls which is another wonder of the place.After few efforts of climbing down steep trails & edges and slithering down the tree roots we reach the waterfalls to cool ourselves and continue our journey through a beautiful village called Nagodi.
