Hidlumane falls. Is it Hitlumane or Hidlumane? The former word has a meaning, but most of them pronounced it as Hidlumane. What’s in a name after all?
A shot of the sprawling grasslands one gets to see while climbing down Kodachadri. You will miss these if you take the jeep track.
It’s always beautiful when its bare.

Sunrise from Kodachadri - this guy made us wait for almost an hour. It was 6:48 am by the time we could catch the first glimpse. Most Sunday mornings, I wouldn’t have bothered to get off my bed.
Sunset over the great Arabian Sea.
Idol of Lord Ganesha - inside a small cave - on the way to sunrise point.
Phew! Nice catch. Being drenched in sweat, I had almost ignored these beauties.
That’s it for now. Hope you enjoyed the photos.

Kodachadri is a mountain peak (altitude - 1343 m above sea level) in the Western Ghats in South India (Karnataka State). The name is a corruption of the Sanskrit word “Kutakachalam” in local Kannada language. Kodachadri forms a picturesque background to the famous temple of Mookambika in Kollur. Situated in the middle of the Mookambika National Park, it is home to several endemic and endangered species of flora and fauna. The rain forests loom in a perpetual layer of mist around the peak. Around the peak, the shola forest is also there.
Patalagere resort is a unique place situated at the footsteps of the Kodachadri hill. It has many cottages,which will give you the warmth of staying very close to the nature.Considered to be the starting point of trekking, It would be very ideal to start your journey from here. The management will also arrange vehicles ,which will take you to the top of the hill.
This resort has cottages,which are very reasonable in price.
