By Air

The nearest airport is Mangalore (about 3.5–4 hours). Bengaluru (about 5–6 hours by road) has the widest choice of flights. We arrange private transfers from either.

By Train

The closest railheads are Kadur and Birur (about an hour away), with Hassan also well connected. We help with routing from major cities.

By Road

Chikmagalur is an easy drive from Bengaluru (via Hassan and Belur), Mangalore and Mysore. Roads are scenic but winding — a comfortable vehicle makes the trip.

Getting Around Chikmagalur

A private vehicle is the easiest way to explore, given spread-out sights and jeep-only trails. We include sightseeing transport in our packages.
