Bandaje Falls Trek By KT

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.
It is mandatory to get confirmation from our team before proceeding to the pickup point. Karnataka Trekkers will not be responsible for any inconvenience caused if a participant arrives at the pickup location without receiving trip details and confirmation from our end.

Organized by Karnataka Trekkers, the Bandaje Falls Trek is one of the most scenic treks in the Western Ghats, known for its lush forests, vast grasslands, and the spectacular Bandaje Arbi Waterfalls.
The trek offers a perfect mix of adventure and natural beauty, taking you through dense jungle trails, rolling hills, and finally to the breathtaking waterfall viewpoint cascading from a height of nearly 200 ft.

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.
