Trek highlights

Even though the Kaiwara Betta trek difficulty level is moderate, this is an overnight trip – we will whisk you away from Bangalore the previous night, arriving at the base of the trek in the wee hours of the morning. It is a sunrise trek, after all, which means that we need to get you to the top of the trail, before the sun comes up!

A challenging climb with our trek leaders and other trekkers = guaranteed fun
Witness the golden light of the sun pour over the land that lies below
Explore the summit and soak up the panoramic views
Make sure to get some images for the ‘gram!
Return to the base for a well-deserved breakfast

At Plan the Unplanned, we have treks for everyone – whether you are a first timer or a pro; whether you want an entire weekend getaway or just a few hours. With us, the chance to reset and reconnect gets easier!

Day 1 | Depart from Bengaluru

Your journey begins at 11:00pm in Bengaluru when you are lost in the star-studded sky, with the city lights fading in the background. You will find a curious bunch of fellow trekkers - ardent nature lovers and adventure seekers to first timers wanting to tick off something from their bucket list or try something new. 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. We relax, take a light nap and a few hours later we arrive at our start point for an exhilarating day ahead.

Trek guidelines

To ensure everyone has a great time and knows what to expect, please read these important points:

No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
Travel arrangements
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.
"Without Travel" option
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.
Embrace the outdoors
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.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
Leave no trace policy
Please help us keep our beautiful outdoors clean by disposing of all litter properly.
Personal belongings
You are responsible for your personal belongings, valuables, and jewelry. Plan The Unplanned is not liable for any lost items.
Potential delays
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.
