Maidadi viewpoint appears to have hopped straight outta heaven and is stuck at 15 km from the temple town Kalasa. With the view of mist-filled mountains, lofty peaks, clouds running haywire, lush green forest, tiny streams meandering through mountains, and unending steep valleys this place in western ghats sure to make you fall in love with nature. As the cool breeze gently brushes through your face, you can clearly spot the Kudremukh range on one side and Ballalarayana Durga on another side.
You need to make an uphill hike of 500 m from Kanive resort to reach the top. Never miss out on sunrise or sunset which looks spectacular and dramatic from this point. On a clear day, you can even spot Dharmasthala and Netravathi river meandering its ways through mountains from a distance. Besides this, you can even set up your tents and spend your night gazing at stars. Head to this place during winter season i.e. from October to March to enjoy nature to the fullest.
If you are a biker and want to experience off-roading then try hitting the trail with your bike. Else you can take a bumpy jeep ride to reach the Maidadi viewpoint.
