Thadiyandamol is the highest peak in Coorg, Karnataka, standing at 1,748 meters. It's a popular destination for trekkers and nature enthusiasts, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape.
Thadiyandamol offers breathtaking panoramic views and a challenging yet rewarding trek. However, the trek can be strenuous for beginners, and the weather can be unpredictable. The limited accommodation options near the peak can also be a drawback.
