About
Ettina Bhuja (literally translates to Ox’s Shoulder in Kannada) is located close to the temple town of Dharmasthala. Byrapura village in Mudigere range of Chickmagalur district to be exact. About 250km from Hubli
it makes for a good weekend trip away from the hustle and bustle of the city.
Although it’s not a popular trail among trekkers Ettina Bhuja offers scenic landscapes at about 1300m altitude and features a mosaic of grassland and forest patches in undulating terrain. One can find bamboo and cane plantations on the way to the top. Trek along this pleasant terrain to the sound of chirping birds in the lap of nature.
