Kudremukh, nestled in the heart of the Western Ghats within the Chikkamagaluru district, is part of the Kudremukh National Park, the second-largest wildlife-protected area in the Western Ghats. The name "Kudremukh" translates to "horse's face" in Kannada, aptly named for the distinctive shape of the peak that resembles the face of a horse. The immense hills overlooking the Arabian Sea are connected by deep valleys and jagged cliffs. For almost 2,000 years, Kudremukh has served as a navigational aid for mariners along the western shore. The rain-created terrain of the landscape in Karnataka's Chikkamagaluru district is breathtakingly beautiful. The landscape is dotted with charming villages. You will come across tea and coffee plantations, and palm, cardamom, and mango trees.
