Kudremukh Trek from Mysore Highlights

The Kudremukh trek is a special experience because they only allow 50 trekkers each day. They do this to protect the beautiful wildlife in the area.
When you go for this trek, you won't find fancy facilities like in popular places like Coorg Tadiandamol and Kodachadri. Instead, you'll stay in simple homestays made just for trekkers.
It's a good idea to keep an extra day in your plan because sometimes it's hard to get permission for the Kudremukh trek on the first try.
If you can't get permission for Kudremukh, don't worry. You can try the Kurinjal peak trek. It's also in Kudremukh National Park, and the forest department can arrange it for you. It's a great alternative adventure.
