Overview

Valmiki Parvatha, also known as Valmiki Hill or Valmiki Betta, is a significant site located near Kolar in Karnataka, India. It holds religious and historical importance, particularly in connection with Sage Valmiki, the author of the epic Ramayana. Mythology states that Sita stayed in sage Valmiki’s ashram, in Avani while in exile. Her twins Lava and Kusa were born here, and the war between Lord Rama and his sons Lava and Kusha took place in this village. This site is significant in Hindu mythology and is associated with several ancient legends and temples. The other group of temples in Avani also makes it an ideal place for a day trip from Bengaluru.

Terms & Conditions

  • No Luxury. We assure awesome memories every trip, but not awesome facilities.
  • We provide basic facilities in terms of food, travel, and stay.
  • The itinerary is fixed. No special requests to change itinerary/schedule are permitted. Do not give advice(s) to the Organizer.
  • Absolutely no littering. We swear to protect our environment.
  • No alcohol & smoking during travel, treks, and other outdoor activities. There would be a separate window and space (usually at night) to have these at the campsite/homestay for interested people.
  • Cooperate with the organizer(s) in following the schedule set for the day (especially getting up and getting ready in the morning). This will ensure travelers won’t miss out on the real fun part that is traveling.

  • Do not wander into the forest away from the designated trail for trekkers. There may be snakes, scorpions, and other dangerous animals.
  • Unexpected situations: It may happen we do not cover all the places mentioned in the itinerary because of unpredictable reasons like bad weather, landslides, wild animal presence, abrupt blocking of sites by the police/forest department, delay in travel because of an issue with our group itself, traffic conditions, etc. In most cases, if the time permits, the organizer(s) will take travelers to an alternative place. But in some cases, we may have to skip a place altogether.
  • The event will stand canceled if less than 8 travelers signed up for the trip/trek.
  • Travelers are expected to respect each other and help each other. Avoid discussing sensitive matters like sex, politics, and religion/caste/race.
  • Using foul or abusive language, eve-teasing, arguing with fellow travelers/organizer(s), and/or involving in the physical assault will not be accepted and will stand a chance of being deserted by the group then and there.
  • Every traveler is expected to sign a liability/waiver form given by the organizer(s) after boarding the vehicle. This liability form will discharge Muddie Trails of any unexpected incident like injury/death/theft etc. Read it here.
