A tiny hamlet in Mudigere in Karnataka’s Chikmagalur district, Devaramane is no less than a paradise for the off-beat tourists. The term ‘Devaramane’ roughly translates to the ‘Abode of God’ and the serene tranquility that prevails here quite aptly satisfies that nomenclature.

The Chikmagalur region of Karnataka is well-known for its scenic beauty. It is home to few of the most scintillating trekking trails – some rather well-known and others a well-kept secret. Devaramane belongs to the later group. Unlike the other treks, this one ranks low on the difficulty scale and is ideal for those new to the trekking game.

Nestled between the evergreen Western Ghats terrain, Devaramane is a fascinating spot that can enthrall the nature lovers. It is a lush green valley surrounded by undulating hills and dancing streams. You will be greeted by mountains all around as far as your eyes can see. With mist in the air, the foggy atmosphere offers a breath of fresh air. If you are lucky, you might catch a glimpse of the endemic Haarlu flower – which blossoms once in every 12 years.

This off-beat place is yet to make an impression on the tourism map, so it doesn’t get thronged by swarms of tourists yet. You can be assured of a quiet and rejuvenating vacation. If you are looking for an quick escapade on the lap of mother nature, Devaramane would fit the bill perfectly.

Location

Devaramane is situated near Mudigere in Chikmagalur along the famed Charmadi Ghats section. The nearest major city is Mangalore, which is located at a distance of 118 KM. Around 274 KM away from Bangalore, the place is well-connected by road network. There are ample public transports available, but the adventure seekers prefer to cover this scenic road on bikes and private cars.

Tourism Activities at Devaramane

The tourism activities at Devaramane revolve around the historical temple of Kala Bhairaveshwara. The presiding deity is Lord Shiva, who is worshiped in the form of Kala Bhairava. Perched on top of a hill, it offers sensational bird’s eye view of the distant Western Ghats plateau. One of the reasons why the place is equally advocated by both religious pilgrims as well as nature loving wanderlusts.

Religious sentiments apart, Devaramane is primarily known for being a favorite hunting ground for the trekkers. The mesmerizing 18 KM long trek from the Gutti village is an exhilarating experience. The difficulty level is easy to moderate. The trail unfurls into shola-draped grasslands and takes you across different peaks. You come across gurgling streams and cascading waterfalls. The tranquil lake situated in front of the temple is another tempting prospect.

If you are an angler by heart, then don’t miss out on visiting the Kapila Fishing Camp, which is located just around the corner. Last but not the least, the camping enthusiasts are unlikely to resist the urge to setup a tent on the bank of the lake. You would seldom come across a more scenic place for pitching a camp.

Chikmagalur Trekking Packages

The Chikmagalur region, as previously stated, is a heaven for the trekkers. The place is dotted with numerous trekking trails of varied difficulty levels.
