Bangalore to Chikmagalur Cab Service — 3 Day Tour Package

Chikmagalur coffee estates and misty Western Ghats hills - Bangalore to Chikmagalur tour
Chikmagalur — "The Land of the Younger Daughter" nestled in the Western Ghats

Chikmagalur (Chikkamangaluru), meaning "the town of the younger daughter" in Kannada, is one of Karnataka's most beloved hill districts, perched amidst the verdant Western Ghats at elevations ranging from 900 to 1,900 metres. Renowned across India as the birthplace of Indian coffee — introduced to the country by the Sufi saint Baba Budan in the 17th century — Chikmagalur is a landscape of shimmering coffee plantations, silver waterfalls, sacred mountain peaks and dense shola forests that harbour elephants, leopards and rare Malabar giant squirrels.

Our Bangalore to Chikmagalur cab service covers the 3-day round trip in supreme comfort, with a scenic en-route stop at Belur — home to the extraordinary 12th-century Chennakeshava Temple, one of the finest examples of Hoysala architecture in India. The second day is devoted entirely to Chikmagalur's spectacular natural attractions: the towering Mullayanagiri Peak (Karnataka's highest at 1,930 m), the mystical Baba Budangiri cave shrine, and a trio of stunning waterfalls — Jhari Falls, Abbe Falls and Manikyadhara Falls. Day 3 returns via the serene Hirekole Lake before heading back to Bangalore.

Whether you're a couple looking for a misty weekend retreat, a family seeking mountain adventure, or a group of friends chasing waterfalls and coffee aromas — Chikmagalur rewards every traveller with scenery that feels cinematically beautiful. Our well-maintained AC cabs, police-verified drivers and transparent pricing make the journey as comfortable as the destination.
