Package Overview

This monsoons, HAPPY TRAVEL AND TOURS heartfully brings you the unique combination of lush green mountains, thunderous waterfalls, thrilling Hikes, misty valleys, beautiful fort, remote village homestay with delicious Malnad style food.
A whole new ecosystem comes to life when monsoons hit Western Ghats. Agumbe rainforest has once even surpassed Cherrapunji of Meghalaya as the place with the highest rainfall. It rains so much that, all the lakes & streams overflow, they form plenty of waterfalls (some of them as gigantic as Jog falls, which is in the same district) and forests soak enough water that feeds rivers till next summer.
Nestled in the heart of tropical rainforests with rich biodiversity, Agumbe is located at a distance of 380 Km from Bangalore. It receives more than 7,500 mm of mean annual rainfall, one of the highest in India. Trekking through its forests to visit the waterfalls is a delight to nature lovers.
Agumbe is also called King Cobra capital because of the highest density of snakes found here. However, they usually do not come on our trek path, and trekkers are cautioned not to wander into the forest. It’s not surprising to find common non-venomous snakes like a green vine, different species of frogs, reptiles, and other amphibians.

Highlights of the Agumbe Trip:
Kavaledurga Fort Trek (Easy)
Rainforest Waterfalls
Silent Lake
Nagara Fort (Green carpet)
Rainforest Pools (Rainforest special experience)
Kundadri Hills (Highest road access to Agumbe)
Sringeri Temple & Hanging bridge
Campfire (if no rain)
Malnad style veggie food

Nagara Fort, Rainforest Pools, Kundadri Hills

Freshen up and Breakfast, pack your bags, say bye to the home stay.
Visit beautiful Nagara Fort with a green carpet of lawn all over because of monsoon rains.
The view of backwaters & the surrounding mountains from top of the fort walls is spellbinding.
Give a visit to an interesting ancient place called ”Devagange” which is kind of a swimming pool made of rain forest water. The pool is designed in such a way the rain water from surrounding forest naturally enters the pool from different directions and then exits through one end. In this way, the fresh mountain water keeps getting added to the pool for a refreshing bath.
Break for a lunch at a local restaurant near Agumbe village.
Head to Kundadri hills – The highest point in the Agumbe mountain range, have a sneak peek of the extremely beautiful and dense Agumbe rainforest filled with rich vegetation, pristine rivers, and gigantic lakes.
Note: If we travel by mini-bus, then we need to walk up 2.5 km on road as big vehicles cannot reach Kundadri top. Alternatively, we can take a ’pick up van’ if available at that time.
Head to the temple town Sringeri, visit the temple which is also called as Sharada Peetham. There is a beautiful hanging bridge here across the free flowing Tunga river that originates from Agumbe mountains.
Finish Dinner at a local hotel at Sringeri.
