Tadiandamol Peak
Tadiandamol Peak is the highest point in the Kodagu district and the third highest in Karnataka, standing at an elevation of 1,748 meters. The name roughly translates to "Broadest Mountain." It is a favorite destination for adventure seekers and nature lovers. The trek starts near the Nalknad Palac e and takes you through lush Shola forests, sprawling grasslands, and crystal-clear mountain streams. The trail is approximately 7 KM one way and is considered moderately difficult. At the summit, you are rewarded with a 360-degree view of the Western Ghats, often shrouded in mist. It is an essential experience for anyone looking to see the wilder, more rugged side of Coorg.
