About Thavoor Hills Trek:

 Have you ever gazed at the Western Ghats and felt a sense of oneness that you cannot explain? Coorg invites you to find what you are looking for in its green spaces in a peaceful, serene tone. However, it not only invites you to delve deeper into nature, but also to capture some surreal shots. Tavor Hills is one such lesser heard trek and locally called the ‘Dumchi Gudda’. Situated at a distance of about 290 km from Bangalore, it is fabulous and wonderful during the Karnataka monsoons. Temporal clouds, vague hills, and the scent of coffee plantations all seem magical and enchanting.

Coorg is not just a place; rather, it is an experience. Known as the land of Kodagu, this hill station not only captures its natural beauty but also your taste buds with its Kodava cuisine. However, the charm of exploration at the Tavoor Hills adds one more fantastic adventure to your Coorg bucket list. Just about 290 km from Bangalore, the Tavoor Hills is an attraction to obsess, especially during the Karnataka monsoon. The floating clouds, misty mountains, the coffee smell from the plantations, and many such things make it a Trekking paradise .

Tavoor Hills, a well-kept secret in the vicinity of Talacauvery, Coorg, is not something that is much explored by a sea of trekkers. The excitement of luring unknown mountains produces a curious trail up to the top. It is a difficult and challenging Trek. You will need to decide your way to the top. The Tavoor Hills are encircled by 4 to 5 varied peaks and also behold several peaks that are densely packed together with a spectacle of Kopatty mountain range at a distance.

The Tavoor Hills Trek is a dream come true for all enthusiastic trekkers. Each step among thick flora, over the gurgling streams, along jagged ranges is exhilarating. However, the most exciting part has more to be encountered. However, the real thrill awaits at the ridge walk, a spine-tingling experience with panoramic views and a cloudy canopy above, making it a walk to remember. Soon, the scenery of Coorg reveals itself to you as you move forward. The sight of bright mango groves, warmed by the sun, becomes the road to the hills. The initial challenge gives way to a steep slope, with waterfalls over the tops of emerald-green bushes. Enormous trees, full of the songs of exotic singing birds, makes the path worth remembering. Even though the 10km Trek is moderate, it takes 4 to 5 hours to complete depending on your fitness and expertise . Every sweat, nonetheless, pays off at the top. The magnificent panorama, the tranquil calm, the allure of achievement, and the feeling of happiness and triumph make it all the more sense.
