Kotagiri trek: Trekking and Camping in the Western Ghats, South India Overview

Located deep in the heart of the Western Ghats, the Kotagiri trek is situated in South India. The peak is located in Nilgiri district in the state of Karnataka. Standing tall and proud at the height of 5890 meters above sea level, it is one of the highest peaks of Karnataka. 

330 km away from Bangalore, the Kotagiri Trek welcomes people of each age group. The trek is of a moderate grade of difficulty as the terrain starts with a gradual incline but soon gets steeper as you get further. Along the way, you will cross many streams bubbling through patches of dense foliage, especially if the trek is undertaken right after the monsoons! However, besides the occasional patches, the trail mostly passes through grasslands and meadows, which provide a stunning vista. You will find yourself marvelling at the serenity of the mountains again and again!

During the trek, you will be staying in camps on multiple sharing bases. Revel in the sheer joy of camping in the mountains, and enjoying a cosy bonfire and swapping stories around it! You can also choose to experience the warmth and hospitality of a homestay for this trek and explore the local culture!

Advisory

Kotagiri is a perfect weekend trek. If you are bored with your city’s hustle-bustle life and want to spend some quality time with yourself and with your friends away from your city, there is no better place to go other than Kotagiri. 330 km away from the city of Bangalore, Kotagiri is open all year. Anyone, rather it is a first-time trekker, or an experienced trekker is allowed here. If you plan your trip to Katagiri, it is perfect, but do not forget to keep things following things in your mind- 
  • Carry minimum weight 
  • The trek takes place through eco-friendly zones and does not encourage littering. 
  • Do not wander off on your own at any point during the trek. 
  • Alcohol and smoking are not allowed. 
  • The decision of the trek leader will be final and binding. 
  • Delays may occur due to weather conditions 
  • Go for a medical check-up before embarking on this trek. Any person with health conditions like Asthma etc. is advised not to go for this expedition. However, if they so decide, it is at their own risk. 
  • Please ensure that you are carrying personal medications. 
  • Please take care of your baggage. 
  • Carefully follow the instructions of the trek leader.
  • Don’t play loud music on the way up there and at the top. Many people do this trek to find peace. Use your headphones, instead of showing others your party-animal side. Let there be peace in the mountains.
