This monsoons, HAPPY TRAVEL AND TOURS heartfully brings you the unique combination of lush green mountains, thunderous waterfalls, thrilling Hikes, misty valleys, beautiful fort, remote village homestay with delicious Malnad style food.
A whole new ecosystem comes to life when monsoons hit Western Ghats. Agumbe rainforest has once even surpassed Cherrapunji of Meghalaya as the place with the highest rainfall. It rains so much that, all the lakes & streams overflow, they form plenty of waterfalls (some of them as gigantic as Jog falls, which is in the same district) and forests soak enough water that feeds rivers till next summer.
Nestled in the heart of tropical rainforests with rich biodiversity, Agumbe is located at a distance of 380 Km from Bangalore. It receives more than 7,500 mm of mean annual rainfall, one of the highest in India. Trekking through its forests to visit the waterfalls is a delight to nature lovers.
Agumbe is also called King Cobra capital because of the highest density of snakes found here. However, they usually do not come on our trek path, and trekkers are cautioned not to wander into the forest. It’s not surprising to find common non-venomous snakes like a green vine, different species of frogs, reptiles, and other amphibians.

Give a visit to an interesting ancient place called ”Devagange” which is kind of a swimming pool made of rain forest water. The pool is designed in such a way the rain water from surrounding forest naturally enters the pool from different directions and then exits through one end. In this way, the fresh mountain water keeps getting added to the pool for a refreshing bath.
