The Western Ghats of Karnataka is an abode for many waterfalls & Bandaje Arbi (Falls) is one among them nestled in the Charmadi Ghats. The trek route maneuvers into the rain forest, climbing up the mountains, emerging into the lush green grasslands to reach the beautiful Waterfall. After camping the night on the waterfall, the trek route further leads to Ballalarayana Durga fort atop a mighty peak in the dense jungles of Western Ghats.

NISARGA has years of experience camping, hiking far into the wilds, spending the night on the ground and under the stars. We have learned quite a bit about the proper and improper ways to go about it. We have an innate love of both the sport and the natural world.
