Kemmanagundi

Kemmanagundi, the ‘Ooty of Karnataka,’ was once the summer refuge of King Krishnaraja Wodeyar IV, and it retains that regal air — serene, pristine, and crowned by clouds. Tucked deep in the Baba Budangiri range, this hill station offers mesmerizing views of valleys carpeted in green, the rhythmic whispers of Hebbe Falls, and the floral embrace of Z Point. The fragrance of mountain air mingles with the scent of roses from the royal garden. Nature lovers, trekkers, and photographers find their muse here — in every mist-draped morning and every golden dusk. It’s a sanctuary of stillness, kissed by rain and blessed by silence.
