Forest Checkpost :
The Forest Department was very friendly and guided us some safety measure to be taken care.
Drone is prohibited.
We were carrying dji drone with us to get some fabulous shots. But the forest department informed us that drones are prohibited and even we are not allowed carry with us in bag.
We had no choice than handing it over to the officials. They returned the drone once we descended the trek.
Hidlumane Waterfalls :
From the starting point the forest checkpost is around half an hour distance. And from the checkpost the hidlumane waterfalls is of one and half hour trek distance. The trek from chekcpost to waterfall will make you sweat as its bit rocky climbing road.
But once you reach the hidlumane waterfalls you will forgot all your tiredness and sweat you had till then.
Hidlumane Waterfalls is truly a bliss. The breaktaking water falls takes you to another world of mystery and wonder.
Western Ghats & Mookambika Temple :
Once you rejuvenate yourself from astonishing waterfalls you are left with 2 hour hike in the middle of forest. After completion of this hike you eyes will have the feast interms of best western ghat mountain view.
The hike leads you to the vehicle movement road which connects to Mookambika Temple. Avoid peak summer and mansoon season as the during summer you might miss the fun of fog and during monsoon you might struggle with heavy rain. Winter would ideal season for the trek and breathtaking views.
The Peak - Adi Shankrachary Peetha :
Take blessing from mookambika devi and you are half an hour trek to the peetha from the temple. The peak is also known for Shri Adi Shankracharya Meditation Place there is been gopara built on his rememberance.
