Halfway up the climb the rangebegins to get enveloped in thick clouds andyou come across a small shrine along theway.Mullaiyanagiri (25 km from town) isKarnataka’s highest peak with an ancient,

but newly renovated, MullapaswamyTemple. In the warmer months, the hike upis relatively easy and the views spectacular.Camp here for the night (the temple priestmight even arrange a quick meal for you)and you’ll find the stars look close enough totouch. But the hike up to Mullaiyanagiri willbe a tough task in the rainy months.As you approach the peak and begin toclimb the last few 1000 steps, don’t besurprised if it feels like you have steppedinside one of those fluffy clouds you spottedfrom down below.
