Malethirike Hill or Male Hill in Coorg
Malethirike Hill or Male Hill in Coorg Male Hill (Malethirike): Male Hill (Malethirike): The most fascinating of them all is the Malethirike Shiva Temple. Set in the scenic Malethirike Hill — part of the Chomakund range, known for its treacherous slopes and dense vegetation — the temple destination is incredibly pristine! With floating clouds kissing the green trees, we thought we had walked into the pearly gates of heaven! What attracted us to Malethirike was the impressive drive with breathtaking views. A narrow road with many hairpin bends took us to the top of the hill. Many people trudge up the hill and the two-hour trek is made comfortable by shady trees lining the path. Actually, there is no temple building. Under the canopy of trees are five udhbhava, or self-manifested Shiva Lingams. There are many stories about the Malethirike shrine. The five Pandava brothers are believed to have prayed here during their exile. You will find bells of different sizes hanging in neat rows all along the open stairway and the natural spring ponds, leading up to the small clearing where the lingams are. We enquired, but no one seemed to know when the custom of offering bells started. But every time, a devotee’s wish comes true, he offers a bell. Some soldiers from Tipu Sultan’s retreating army are said to have rested here for some time. There is a small collection of shields, cannon balls and swords, which the priest proudly displays.

Chomakund Peak in Coorg
Chomakund Peak in Coorg Chomakund Hills: Chomakund Hills: If there is a site where I have to post my enthralling experiences at Chelavara Falls and Chomakund Hills These Scenic Hills and the adjacent waterfalls are one among the most beautiful yet lonely places I have visited in recent times. The Chomakund Hills and Chelavara Falls are located at approximately at 16 kms from Virajpet in Coorg district. The Chelavara falls is said to be one among the beautiful but relatively unexplored water falls in Coorg. The water here plunges in two different streams. The Chomakund hills with its scenic beauty and view point is located 2 kms further inside from the waterfalls. Thin mist surreptitiously makes its way over flickering blades of grass in Chomakundu’s tender green hill meadows. The entire valley is replete with fog that seems to never dissipate. Chomakund hill peak is magnificently wet, dewy and wonderful all year through. No matter what your prior trekking experience or age, this could be a trek for anybody. Chomakund is on the border between Karnataka and Kerala in the districts of Kodagu and Kannur, respectively. It is part of a hill range that consists of the better renowned Chelvara, only two kilometers away. The terrain of Chomakund forms a trail with open grassland that is dry in the summer and thriving in the monsoon and winter months. This trail begins at the base of the hill and you don’t need a guide to traverse it. If you are traveling from Chelvara, on your right is Kabbe Hills and to your left would be Chomakund. It is easy to differentiate the two. Kabble is enveloped by a set of thick trees that somehow leave the peak barren and bare, while Chomakund is – essentially – open meadow-like grassland.
