Before you go: Bangalore to Chikmagalur travel guide.
About 10 km from town, a lake with the Mullayanagiri range behind it. Come for the sunset and leave before dark.
Drive about 55 km through Lingadahalli and up the ghat to Kemmangundi. From the old Raj Bhavan, walk about a kilometre along the ridge to Z Point for the view down the valleys. Wear shoes with grip.
The road to Hebbe Falls is a rough track, so you go in local jeeps from Kemmangundi while our vehicle waits. A short walk at the end brings you to the pool below the falls. Back to Chikmagalur by evening.
Pick up coffee and spices in town after breakfast, then about 5 hours back through Hassan. You reach Bangalore around 3 PM.
