Netravati Expedition
Lush green forests of Western Ghats
discover the forests of Western Ghats
A lesser known yet beautiful trek is what makes the Nethravti peak stand out! Located in the Kudremukh forest range, in the Chikkmagalur district, this no trail trek calls for more excitement and adventure. The seeking one has to follow and find a path through the lush green forests of the Western Ghats. There is no man movement and one might be lucky to find a few Sambar Deers, Bisons and Bears too!
Lead and be lead
Plan out everything needed for the coming days from menus, ration and utensils to contingency food plans. Divide and share a load of supplies, share the responsibilities of cooking, cleaning, firewood collection and resource management..
As the days progress, instructors take a step back as the group takes initiative and learns to work as a team—look out for each other, be considerate.

fitness requirements
Recommended pre - trek preparation: Trekking requires as much physical endurance as it does mental resilience. If the participant is active and plays any physical sport regularly, they should be able to do the trek comfortably.
If not, we recommend you start preparing yourself a few weeks before the departure with jogging, stretching and some basic strength and conditioning exercises to gain the stamina, flexibility and agility needed to truly enjoy the experience.
