BABABUDANGIRI CAVES: ( 20kms / 1 Hour drive)
Residence of the sufi mystic, Hazrat Dada Hayat Mir Khalander who travelled back from Arabia with 7 beans taped to his belly. This gave rise to the first Coffee Plantations in India in 1650. Revered as ‘Baba Budan’ for his healing powers, the mountain ranges that he made his home came to be named after him. Today, it is a well-known pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Muslims.

BABABUDANGIRI CAVE + MULAYANGIRI PEAK: ( 40kms / 2 hours drive)
Mulayangiri peak – 6317 feet above sea level ; 400 stone steps lead to a breathtaking scenery at the top of the mountain and a shrine dedicated to Lord Shiva. Once every 12 years, a wild mountain flower ‘ Kurinji ‘ blossoms and the hills around are clothed in bright purple.
