Agumbe gets some of the heaviest rain in South India, and the forest around it stays green most of the year.

Drive time | About 8 hours |
Total drive | About 800 km over 3 days |
Best time | October to February |
A small Jain temple on a rocky hilltop about 25 km from Agumbe, with views over the ghats in every direction. The last stretch of road is narrow and steep, so big vehicles stop lower down.
A deep valley with the falls dropping down one side, seen from a viewpoint reached by a forest walk. Best just after the monsoon.
A short walk into the forest near Agumbe to a small fall and pool. Watch your step on the wet rocks, and check yourself for leeches after the rains.
On the way back, near Thirthahalli: the ruins of a hill fort with walls, tanks and a temple at the top, reached by a climb of about an hour.
About 7 hours through Shivamogga and Tumakuru. You reach Bangalore around 8 PM.
