Halli Mane Trek

Tucked away in the misty hills of Coorg, Halli Mane is where a homestay stay meets proper adventure. Day 1 takes you up the breathtaking Nishani Hills Peak on a guided trek through forest trails, followed by a coffee estate walk, mud volleyball, and a Coorg-style dinner around the campfire. Day 2 starts before sunrise with a jeep raid up to Mandalpatti Peak, then winds through the golden halls of Namdroling Monastery and the gentle giants at Harangi Elephant Camp before the drive back to Bengaluru.
