Karnataka Western Ghats

Kodachadri

Kodachadri is a mountain peak (altitude - 1343 m above sea level) in the Western Ghats in South India (Karnataka). The name is a corruption of the Sanskrit word "Kutakachalam". Kodachadri forms a picturesque background to the famous temple of Mookambika in Kollur. Situated in the middle of the Mookambika National Park, it is home to several endemic and endangered species of flora and fauna. Tha rain forests loom in a perpetual layer of mist around the peak.

This peak is where 'Shankaracharya' did meditation. You will find a 'Sarvajna Peetha' of Sri Shankaracharya at the top. Adi-Mookambika temple at Kodachadri village is believed to be the 'moola sthana' (the origin) of 'Sri Mookambika Devi'.

It is also an excellent location  for Trekkers and backpackers
