Some of the best moments in Chikkamagaluru happen at the edges of the day. Here is where to be.
Sunrise
- Mullayanagiri: The vehicle slot opens at 6 AM, so in winter you can catch the early light from the top. Dress warm.
- Your own balcony: Our villas face the plantation and the hills. On misty mornings you watch the valley appear slowly.
Sunset
- Z Point: The best sunset view in the district, after a short trek from Kemmangundi.
- Hirekolale Lake: Just 15 minutes from us, with hills reflected in the water.
- Galikere: Meadows and soft light, very peaceful.
Tips
- Check the weather. Mist can hide everything, especially in the monsoon.
- Carry a torch for the walk back after sunset.
- Respect vehicle slot timings on the Chandra Drona range.
Questions travellers ask
Can I see sunset at Mullayanagiri?
The afternoon vehicle slot ends at 6 PM, so sunset at the top depends on the season and current rules. Z Point and Hirekolale Lake are easier for sunset.
