Trekking at scenic Nagamale range near MM Hills re-starts

Forest Department issues new guidelines for safety measures, trekker registration

The Forest Department has officially approved trekking at Nagamale in the Male Mahadeshwara Hills (MM Hills) and has issued specific guidelines for trekkers.

Devotees visiting MM Hills frequently embark on hikes to Nagamale, often neglecting the narrow paths, dense forests and steep terrains. The number of trekkers has significantly increased over time.

Additionally, vehicles transporting devotees and trekkers from MM Hills to Indiganatha village on Nagamale Road were found to be unfit for operation.
