EXPERIENCE RATING
New on EvynxPooled summit trek - the shared Forest Department guide fee splits across the group.
About this experience
A single-day summit push into Kudremukh National Park, shared guide, vehicle and forest permit pooled with other separately-booked travellers, splitting the cost - for travellers already based near Chikmagalur. Kudremukh's own trekking rules make this a genuine shared model: a certified Forest Department guide is mandatory at roughly ₹1,000 per group of up to 10, so the per-head cost drops as the group fills, alongside a per-person forest permit of roughly ₹575 and a capped daily quota booked in batches via Aranya Vihaara. The trail - 22 km through shola forest and grassland to the 1,894 m summit - is unchanged.
Highlights
- Kudremukh Summit - 1,894 m via a 22 km round-trip shola-grassland trail
- Mandatory FD guide fee splits per group - roughly ₹1,000 for up to 10 trekkers, cheaper per head as it fills
- Shola-grassland mosaic - a rare Western Ghat ecosystem with endemic birds and giant squirrel
- Bhadra River source stream - crossed on the descent through thickening forest cover
- Capped daily quota - Aranya Vihaara batch booking, roughly 300 trekkers/day across the park
