Located in the northern part of Kodagu district The Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary has been proposed as a world heritage site. Now you can look forward to trekking in these areas. The trek takes you through Shola forest and grasslands in undisturbed pristine wilderness. Camping will be on grasslands and streamside patches. Fresh food will be served close to the villages. It is a self-sustained trip therefore; participants will have to carry their own gears such as sleeping bags and so on, say the organisers. And those who need a porter will have to pay extra, they add.

There will be a local guide to lead the travellers.

The trip costs Rs. 4,300 (for a three-day and two-night trip). This includes camping, guide, coordinator, food, equipment – planning, logistics etc.
