Netravati Peak Trek on a Weekday – A Serene Western Ghats Escape from Bangalore

Looking for an adventure that blends tranquility, challenge, and breathtaking landscapes — without the weekend rush?

The Netravati Peak Trek on a weekday is the perfect midweek escape from Bangalore for anyone who craves nature’s peace and untamed beauty. Starting on a Wednesday-night departure, this trek takes you deep into the Western Ghats near Kudremukha, through lush shola forests, mist-kissed meadows, and hidden waterfalls before culminating at the magnificent Netravati Peak (1,520 m).

Unlike weekend batches, this weekday trek to Netravati Peak offers solitude, calm trails, and an unhurried pace to truly enjoy every detail; the rustle of leaves, the scent of wet soil, and the serene sound of the forest streams.

The trail begins from the picturesque Samse Village, a quiet place surrounded by the rolling green hills of the Kudremukha National Park. The route ranges through the scenic Samse Tea Estate, dense rainforests, and narrow ridges with spectacular viewpoints overlooking the Netravati River valley, which is believed to be the birthplace of the sacred Netravati River.

Over two days, you’ll cover approximately 16 km (8 km each way) of moderately challenging terrain featuring forest paths, rocky ascents, and grassy ridges.

Thripzel ensures a seamless weekday trek booking experience, from permits and forest permissions to off-road jeep transfers and guides, so you can focus entirely on the adventure.

Whether you are a solo traveler seeking calm, a professional planning a midweek recharge, or a group looking for customized weekday trekking packages to Netravati, this journey guarantees peace, adventure, and unforgettable views of the Western Ghats.

The Netravati Peak Trek from Bangalore on a weekday offers a rare chance to explore the untouched beauty of the Western Ghats, where gentle mist flows over green ridgelines and forests burst with natural life

The trek’s moderate difficulty makes it accessible to beginners, yet rewarding enough for seasoned hikers. Each step reveals something new: forest canopies, natural springs, or the shimmering sunlight breaking through clouds at the summit.

With expert guides, smooth logistics, and forest-permit coordination, this trek transforms a regular midweek into a mini-vacation.

Note: Netravati Trek Forest permits must be booked in advance.

For weekend treks, kindly ensure confirmation 15 to 30 days before your planned departure. Early booking helps secure permits and ensures a smooth trekking experience.



The Journey

This midweek adventure begins with a comfortable overnight drive from Bangalore to Samse, a charming hamlet nestled in the folds of the Kudremukha range. As dawn breaks, you will witness the Ghats bathed in mist before heading to the base.

The trek itself is a gradual climb through evergreen forests, muddy trails, and gentle ridges leading to the Netravati summit. On weekdays, the quiet atmosphere amplifies every sensory detail: birdsong, the rustling wind, and the distant roar of waterfalls.

This is not just a trek; it’s a midweek detox for the soul.

Cultural & Mythological Significance

The Netravati River, originating near this very peak, holds immense mythological importance in coastal Karnataka. Locals believe the river was named after a goddess who blessed the land with fertility and prosperity. As the river flows westward to meet the Arabian Sea, it sustains thousands of lives, making this region not just a trekking zone but a spiritual heartland of the Western Ghats.
