A Little Bit About Netravati Trek
Nestled in Karnataka’s Western Ghats, the Netravati Peak Trek is a hidden paradise for trekking enthusiasts and nature lovers.

The Netravati peak trek is not like other commercial treks; it offers a serene and peaceful atmosphere, making it ideal for those seeking to escape the chaos and build a connection with nature.
The trek starts from Samse village, covering a total distance of 12 to 14 km (both ways).

The prime highlight of the Netravati Peak Trek is the summit views—clear sights of lush green valleys and surrounding mountain ranges. Clear days also reward you with views of the Arabian Sea.
This trek is most suitable for those with experience and beginners with good physical fitness, ready to take on challenges and go beyond their limits.

Many trekkers also choose to stay in camps overnight to make the trek experience even more enjoyable. You can place the campsite along the trail or near the base camp, offering a chance to experience staying under the starlit sky amidst the natural surroundings. The soothing atmosphere and a cosy bonfire create a perfect vibe that takes away all your stress and feel like you are far away from the hustle and bustle of your busy city life.
