Mullayanagiri deemed as the highest peak in Karnataka at a height of 6300 ft., is located in the Chandra Dhrona Hill ranges of the Chikmagalur district. The place derived its name from a small temple which is found at the peak summit, dedicated to the Tapasvi Mulappa Samy who was known to have meditated in a cave presently located underneath the temple. The cave is accessible and is not very deep. Cave exploration is one of the most popular activities during this trek. The trek route is highly soothing for the eyes as the entire trail is filled with lush greenery all around and full of coffee plantation fields in the foothills of the peak. The sunset view from the peak is mesmerizing and makes the arduous hike up the peak worthwhile.
