Good things are worth waiting for...
The hills are calling you – literally, because the Bandaje Falls trek itinerary includes not only the namesake waterfall, but also a trek that will challenge you. As you make your way through the greenery, you will spot clear blue skies and some crystal clear water bodies as well. Here is all that you will get to experience on this trek:
As you head back to Bangalore, your heart will be filled with memories that you will have made with the trek leader and other trekkers. And we have a feeling your head will be telling you to trek with us again!
Your journey to Sunkasale begins at Bengaluru when you are lost in the star-studded sky, with the city lights fading in the background. With excitement in the air, we begin with a few ice-breaking sessions - the best way to get to know your fellow trekkers and unwind from the long weekday stress. As the night lingers on, it’s best to settle down and fall into a short slumber - allowing your bodies and minds to get that much needed rest. Enjoy the calm and relax as we arrive at our start point for an exhilarating adventure ahead.

To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
You are responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewelry. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost items.
While we strive to be on schedule, please be aware that traffic delays or vehicle breakdowns can sometimes occur, leading to slight delays in reaching our destination.

There are days when you look forward to going to college or to work, because you feel full of life and energy. And then there are days, when you are literally running on fumes and desperately need an out!
When the second scenario happens, fret not. Come to Plan The Unplanned, where we will take you on an exhilarating trekking experience into a hidden gem of the Western Ghats. Here, you will walk through dense forests, listen to the gurgle of gushing streams and take in sights that look like picture postcards.
But the highlight – the one point of the trek that will take your breath away has to be the Bandaje Falls. This 200-foot waterfall plunges into a gorge creating a mist that is magical and marvelous. The trek becomes trickier, but so much better after the monsoons, but should you go on a clear skies kind of day, you just might spot the mighty Arabian Sea.
The charm of the Bandaje Falls trek lies in its combination of nature and adventure. There is the sheer beauty of nature to admire and then there is the adventure that awaits you.
The tribe and the thrill of the trek are awaiting you!
