A ridge of open grassland above Kalasa, reached by a rough jeep track that is the reason most people go with a local driver. From the top the view runs across the whole Kudremukh range to the west and down into the Bhadra valley to the east, and in the monsoon the cloud pours over the ridge like a tide. No shop, no shelter, no fee: take water and leave nothing.
