About Gangadikal Trek: Gangadikal is bounded by steep hills and valleys, in the Western Ghats of the Kudremukh forest range, that bear the brunt of the severe monsoons winds, which precludes dense tree growth. Thus, resulting in grasslands throughout the forest ranges. A little secluded, not touched by many, is what makes this a highlight and one can enjoy the tranquility of the forests to the fullest!
