About The Event
Please ensure that you connect with our team at least 2 days prior to your departure date to receive trip confirmation and complete travel details.

Organized by Karnataka Trekkers, the Ettina Bhuja Trek is a scenic and lesser-known trek
in the Western Ghats, located near Mudigere-Chikkamagaluru. The name Ettina Bhuja
translates to Ox,s Shoulder inspired by the unique shape of the peak.
At an altitude of approximately 1300 m (4265 ft), this trek offers a perfect mix of forest trails,
open grasslands, and breathtaking ridge walks, making it ideal for both beginners and experienced trekkers.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Please note that these treks are conducted within forest regions. Therefore, basic facilities are available, and participants should not expect luxury accommodations or amenities.
We kindly request you to check availability before making a booking.
In the event that a trek is cancelled due to the unavailability of forest permits, we will either offer a similar trek as an alternative or provide the option to reschedule your trek to a future date.
