The Bandaje trek was a wonderful experience from start to finish. The trek leads were friendly, well-organized, and always ensured everyone's safety and comfort. Everything was well planned, and the trek offered breathtaking views, making every step worthwhile. The food, transportation, and accommodation were well managed, and the entire group had a fun and positive vibe. Coordinators kept everyone motivated and made sure no one was left behind, which made the experience enjoyable for both beginners and experienced trekkers. A big thank you to Skanda and the TrekUp Karnataka team for creating such memorable moments. I highly recommend them to anyone looking for a safe, well-organized, and adventurous trekking experience.

Experience DNA
The crew you go with when you want a high-energy weekend out of Bangalore. Bus rides come with music and dancing, trek leads like Anvith, Preetham, Darshan and Skanda are repeatedly named by travellers for keeping groups safe, motivated and laughing, and solo travellers say they end up with a whole new friend circle. It's a social, young, fun-first vibe — not a quiet nature retreat.

My Kodachadri trek with Trekup Karnataka was an absolutely amazing experience! From the beginning till the end, everything was very well organised and smoothly managed. The accommodation was comfortable, the food was really good, and the entire trip was planned in a way that allowed us to simply enjoy the trek without worrying about the arrangements. A special mention to Anvith, our trek lead, who truly made the experience even better. He was extremely responsible, approachable and supportive throughout the trek. As a female traveller, I especially appreciated how safe and comfortable he made us feel throughout the entire journey. Great organisation, good food, comfortable stay, responsible trek leadership and, most importantly, a strong sense of safety. Would definitely recommend Trekup Karnataka to anyone looking for a safe, fun and well-organised trekking experience!
