OVERVIEW

Bandaje Falls Trek From bangalore

Just a few hours from the hustle of Bangalore lies the Bandaje Falls Trek, nestled in the Western Ghats. This trek takes you past breathtaking waterfalls and through the remains of ancient forts, offering a peaceful retreat into the nature. It’s one of the best waterfall treks, which combines the thrill of exploration with the calm and silence of the forest outdoors.

The best months to visit Bandaje Falls are from July to March. During the monsoon, the waterfalls come alive, and the greenery around is lush, making the scenery look amazing from the top.
