Karnataka

The state of Karnataka is located in the south western side of India mostly on the Deccan plate. Karnataka is rich in bio-diversity and it has a recorded forest range of 38720 km² which constitutes 20.19% of the total geographical area of the state.

BANGALORE: Some of the famed trekking trails in the dense Western Ghats
region in Karnataka, which have been attracting a large number of adventure

tourists in recent years, will soon be mapped to help ensure greater safety
for trekkers.

The package will be called the “Great Western Ghats trails.”

While there are about 200 trekking trails in the ghats, 18 have been
identified for the project, and many will be added in the future. Those that
have been identified for mapping include Kumaraparvatha, Brahmagiri,
Kudremukh, Kurinjala, Tadiyandamol, Mullayanagiri, Narasimha Parvatha,
Badabudangiri and the Kali River bank trail.
