    Best time to go/Weather - Camping in Karnataka

    While trekking in Karnataka, the best time to go is during the months of monsoon and winter. During the monsoon season from mid-June to September, the landscape transforms into a green paradise with flourishing flora. This is the season when the nature of the Sahyadris and Coorg are liveliest, offering splendid views and exciting trails that can sometimes get slippery.

    During the winter months, however, the landscape is misty and the winds are cool, offering perfect trekking opportunities without getting soaked. The forests are bustling and the views are green with mist flooding the horizons.

    You can go trekking in Karnataka in the summer months, but the weather can get quite hot and humid, making it an uncomfortable experience.

    Most of the trekking places in Karnataka are located near Bangalore, hence, you don’t need to go too far for trekking. Moreover, the tour operators provide travel arrangements between Bangalore and the starting point of the treks.

    Though the pick-up/drop-off locations vary from operator to operator, they are always major landmarks within Bangalore that are easily accessible by local transport like bus, taxi, etc. Some tour operators even offer multiple pick-up points from where you can join the team.

    The mode of transport can sometimes vary, but for most treks, it is via a private bus or SUV. Sometimes, for treks that are farther away, you might be taken to the starting point via trains.

    Remember to check the ‘trip details’ and ‘additional instructions’ of the trip that you’re booking to know more about the pick-up points and mode of transport for your Karnataka trek.

    For trekking in Karnataka, you should wear a comfortable t-shirt and trek pants along with a hat/cap and sunglasses. With that, you also need to wear trekking shoes that are broken-in, comfortable; make sure they provide good grip even in wet conditions.

    Avoid wearing denim jeans or any other restrictive clothing that will make the trekking experience uncomfortable.

    Ensure that you have a good pair of shoes and a trusty bag for any trekking in Karnataka. Carry at least two bottles of water per person and a few snacks. Do carry powerful sunscreen lotion or spray to save your skin, as well as an insect repellent. If you’re going trekking near Bangalore in the monsoon, carry the right rainwear. If you’re going trekking in winter, dress in layers to stay warm.

    The preparation and fitness levels depend entirely on the trek that you go for. If you are going for an easy trek in Karnataka, then you don’t need any kind of preparation as long as you have basic fitness levels.

    For moderate grade treks, you need good fitness levels, and you can start preparing for these treks a couple of weeks prior to the date. And for the challenging treks, you need prior trekking experience as well as decent fitness levels.
