Chikmagalur is town located in Karnataka (at the foot of Mullayangiri Hills) with beautiful valleys and view points. I would describe it as s Trekkers paradise than a tourist place.
Also Chikmagalur stretch (from Coorg to Chikmagalur to Kemmangudi) is famous for Coffee Plantations
First of all Chikmagalur is not a hillstation but a junction point connecting to Mullayangiri, Bababuddangiri, Kemmangudi and much more.
Places to visit :
- Mullayangiri (Highest peak in South india between Himalayas and Nilgirs)
- Baba Buddangiri/Dadda Peeta and Manika Para
- Buttermilk waterfalls
- Hebbe Waterfalls
- Kemmangudi
- Kudramukh
- Muthodi Forest
Almost all places are famous for trekking and must go place for adventure seekers.
