WHAT YOU SHOULD KNOW

Go early for sunrise over the Pushpagiri grassland, and confirm the checkpost opening time the evening before. The last 6-7 km is a rough forest track that most visitors cover in a hired jeep, so agree the price and the waiting time before you leave. Carry no single-use plastic into the forest area.

HISTORY & BACKGROUND

A grassy ridge above the forests of the Pushpagiri range, about 17-18 km north of Madikeri. The first stretch is paved and the last 6-7 km is a rough forest track.
