Kurinjal is a lesser known peak in the Kudremukh National Park that acts as the perfect destination for people seeking a respite from the fast-paced and stressful city life.
The trekking trail abounds in mesmerizing natural beauty that is further enhanced by the calm and peaceful ambience of the region. Trekking to Kurinjal
peak, one can experience that the silence of nature is very real
and magical. Kurinjal is also less explored and equivalently
challenging. They say ‘Best view comes after the hardest climbs’
and you find that true while you are still on the way to Kurinjal
peak. If you are looking to get lost in the wind, the rain and
the ridges, this is a perfect place to be.
Along with that we will be also visiting Yelaneeru falls and Horanadu Annapoorneshwari temple.
If you are looking for a weekend getaway from Bangalore with the urge of escaping the fast-paced life of the city? We are all set to take you to the lush green meadows
with various streams flowing, the picturesque landscape that’ll leave you in awe, the cold breeze that’ll freeze the moment for your mind to register the definition of
beauty and satisfaction.
