    All about the Bananthimari Sunrise Trek.

    Hello Travelers

    Bananthimari is an offbeat trekking place located at a distance of 60 Km from Bangalore city. It is named after a temple located at the base of the hill. It is an easy trail filled with green bushes & shrubs during the first half of trek and, barren rocks & boulders towards the top. 

    The trek trail is a bit deceitful and often people loose their way during the trek. But with Trek Leader from Muddie Trails you can enjoy Bananthimari trek on a seamless path to the peak. The peak is barren mountain and some part of the trail will remind us of treks in western ghats.

    Like different treks around Bangalore, Bananthimari does fall under wildlife zone. The forests around Bananthimari are home to Deer, Bear and Elephants. We will take all the care to respect nature and be responsible trekkers. Bananthimari is also home to innumerable bird species. It is a treat to the eyes trekking amidst chirping birds in the morning freshness.  It’s a good place for photography.

    Don’t wait, join us!


    Highlights of the Bananthimari Trek:

    • March to May (summer): Since days are hot in summer, we usually avoid Bananthimari trek, unless Forest Department gives permission for a Sunrise trek.

    When is the best time to visit Bananthimari?

    • Since Bananthimari is very close to Bangalore, it has a good climate throughout the year. It can be trekked in all seasons except peak summer day-time. That’s why we prefer trekking to Bananthimari before sunrise. That’s the best time to revel in the beauty of pure nature.
