About The Trip

If your next take on an adventure is Nishani motte of Coorg-kudos to you! Nishani Motte trek might not be the most Instagrammed place or internet-famous Western ghats trek, but what is sure is that you will find yourself in love with Coorg, like never before.

This monsoon expedition is an easy to moderate level hike of around 15kms and is nestled in between  Bhagamandala forest range and the Brahmagiri wildlife sanctuary. If you have been to any of these places before, you would have probably started picturing the mesmerizing scenics by now. It is a one-way trek, so the trail won’t repeat while descending. So isn’t this one more exciting reason to choose this trek?

The monsoon raises the difficulty level as the pathway gets muddy, filled with leeches, and makes it difficult to climb. The trail towards the end is very steep, almost vertical, and thus, adding a tinge of adventure to make it up to the crest. And there the view would sweep you off the ground.

Magnificent view of mountain ranges of Karnataka and Kerala can be seen from here, with the river Cauvery flowing, perfecting the scenery. It’s a view that’ll surely strike a chord in your heart and make a mark on your mind.

Trip Highlights:

  1. Trek in the beautiful Shola forests of Coorg and enjoy a Coorgi dinner.
  2. Explore the Cauvery river and Bhagamandala and visit the origin of River Kaveri
  3.  Visit to pristine Iruppu Falls in Brahmagiri Range of Western Ghats.

We start this trek post breakfast. Right after it, we start off the journey and get the approvals from the local forest department. Quickly the trek leads to take care of the Trek Permits and a Forest Department Guide is sent along for the trek and we are all set!

We then drive to our trek start point which lies in the middle of the forest, surrounded by trees. As we start the trek you will start noticing the weather and landscapes changing so quickly that you won’t know whether to take off that raincoat or not yet! We then pass through rocky patches, open grasslands, and sometimes combinations.

Wide Panoramas and different colours of green stay with you all along, sometimes the mist clears for a moment to surprise what it's been hiding and bam! You are back to the white screen again. This place is very close to the state border and you can see mountain ranges of Kerala for a part of the trail, you are technically in Kerala. Cows and dogs are the ones who always cross our path, you find elephant dung very often on the route but it’s hard to spot them as they prefer to stay inside thick forests during the daytime.

Once we reach the peak we make sure we spend enough time relaxing, getting heartful of the views, and soaking in the beauty of western ghats.

As we descend, we reach a perfect place to have our long-awaited lunch. It is a forest checkpoint and has shelter and water to freshen up. Quickly after lunch, we will set off to enjoy the Panoramic view of the sunset and reach the homestay before it’s dark.

Overall it’s a great experience to indulge yourself in if you admire mountains, animals, forests, and clouds, and not to forget a packed lunch.

We set off towards Iruppu falls and the ghats make sure you still have that good view from your window. It is a 10 min walk to reach the falls and once we reach there you can happily get into the water as. Changing facilities are also available here.
