The Ombattu Gudda peak stands proudly at approximately 971 meters above sea level, ranking as one of the highest peaks in the Western Ghats range. Translating to "nine hills" in English, Ombattu Gudda derives its name from the presence of nine continuous humps along its ridge. Locals also refer to it as Murkal Gudda, and you might encounter puzzled expressions if you inquire about Ombattu Gudda directly.
