Sightseeing

Kaginahare: The ruins of a small fort built by Tipu Sultan (1750-99) who ruled over the South Indian state of Mysore (1782-99) coupled with beautiful mountain range of Western Ghats could be found here. Milky white clouds hug the green hills and makes the place a heaven on earth. Ever felt like kissing the clouds!!?? You just read where to do.

Mookanamane Abbi : A beautiful water fall located amid the forest makes it almost a private water fall due to less tourist/ local crowd. As the water falls from about 35 – 40 feet height it gives an immense pleasure to the eyes of the individuals to watch the nature’s glory here.

Green Route Trekking:  World famous Tunnels of Yedakumari have become a favorite place for the nature lovers and trekkers.
