On our way to Chikmagalur through Karkala and Kudremukh forests. Kudremukh had KIOCL / Kudremukh iron ore corp Ltd, closed now due to environmental issues. Now the entire town has become a ghost town. The good part is that the forest is regaining its lost lustre! A cardio trek through the coffee plantations near Chikmagalur. Don’t miss the bamboo ladder used in harvesting the peppers. Exploring and tasting coffee in the land of coffee plantation @ Chikmagalur
