It is also the connection between Chikmagaluru district and Dakshina Kannada district. Charmadi is nearly 25 kms of stretch from Kottigehara to Charmadi village having 12 hairpin bend curves and which is the most beautiful experience you will have when you travel from this road. Each of these curves has got it's own unique attraction. In monsoon season it will be jeweled with small small water falls and of them are beside the highway and obviously you will pullover to experience the beauty.

Charmadi is not only meant for road trips, it also attracts the trekkers too. I have also heard from the people monsoon trekking in Charmadi is a "dream come true" experience. Taking permission from the forest department one can tent over night in the Baale Kallu and Kode Kallu place. And from these view points you can watch sunrise.

So, what you guys are waiting for pack your bag and make your weekend a memorable one.
