Chikmagalur sits at the foot of the Baba Budangiri range and is where coffee growing in India began. The town itself is small, and most of what people come for is in the hills around it.
Mullayanagiri, the highest peak in Karnataka, is the best known stop, with a narrow road that climbs to a car park below the summit. The route from Mangalore runs inland through the ghats, so it pairs easily with a temple stop at Sringeri or Horanadu on the way.
