Around Kemmangundi

Kalhatti Falls (10km) - Water cascades from the top of the Chandra Drona Hill from a height of 45m to flow before the Veerabhadreshwara Temple dedicated to Lord Shiva.

Hebbe Falls (8km) - A trek from Kemmangundi along a steep and narrow path leads to these sprightly falls. Surrounded by dense forests and coffee plantations, Hebbe Falls rush down a height of 250ft. in two stages to form Dodda Hebbe (Big Falls) and Chikka Hebbe (Small Falls).

Baba Budan Giri Range (32km) - The 1895m peak takes its name from the Muslim saint Baba Budan, who took up residence here in the 17th century. Situated on the Baba Budan Giri is the Inam Dattatreya Peetha, which is venerated by Hindus and Muslims alike. A laterite cave here is believed to have been sanctified by the residence of Dattatreya Swami as well as Hazrath Dada Hayath Mir Kalandar. Both Muslims and Hindus celebrate the annual jatra or urus with great aplomb.
Best Season: September to May.
