HolidayIQ traveller Raghavendra Rao from Delhi shares, “The town lies in the Malnad region on the magnificent hills of the biodiversity hotspot, the Western Ghats. It has a temperate climate surrounded with lofty green hills full of coffee, cardamom, pepper and areca plantations. Sakleshpur receives very heavy rainfall from the southwest monsoon. It is one of the places receiving the most rainfall in Karnataka. The primary mode of employment in the Sakleshpur region is agriculture. Crops grown include coffee, rice, pepper, cardamom, ginger and tea with coffee being dominant. The Manjarabad fort is located just outside of Sakleshpur on National Highway 48. The fort is reputed to have been constructed by Tippu Sultan, the erstwhile ruler of Mysuru as a strategic defensive location as it commands the approach to the plateau beyond Sakleshpur from the coast. It is also believed that he had constructed a tunnel from this fort to another fort in Srirangapatna near Mysuru. Jenukal gudda is the third highest peak in Karnataka, located at Maragunda 24 km outside Sakleshpur.”

Sakaleshpura-The Gateway to Western Ghats.
One can enjoy the beauty of western ghats in day train from Sakaleshpura to Subramanya Road section with stoppage in Yedakumari a small hilly station.
Trekking is available from Sakaleshpura but beware of wild animals. We feel the real heaven when train goes through the thick forest and coffee, Pepper plantation. By roadways also we can enjoy the sceneries of Western ghats with curved roads.
For accommodation there are many Homestays and Resorts with reasonable prices. Family, Couples, solo, group, friends all can enjoy here. One must visit the Munjirabad Fort, shooting spot and many other places.
While driving your vehicles be careful in hairpin curved roads. Wish you a happy, safe and comfortable journey.
