Discovering the Bose Peak Trek<\/h1>\n

Bose Peak is the highest point in Kolukkumalai, Tamil Nadu, at an elevation of approximately 7,120 feet above sea level (2,175 metres). It is the \u2018less explored\u2019 gem filled with valleys, tea plantations and mountain ranges.<\/p>\n

Nearby attractions include the Kolukkumalai Sunrise Viewpoint and Tiger-Faced Rock, which may be included in the same sightseeing or trekking itinerary depending on the route and operator.<\/p>\n

Bose Peak is exclusive to adventure seekers. The trek is considered moderate in difficulty, with short but steep sections along a generally defined trail.<\/p>\n

It starts at the Kolukkumalai Tea Factory, which is only accessible via off-road jeeps.<\/p>\n

Here is what a user Treenidhi has shared in Reddit\u00a0 about Bose Peak Trek<\/a> along with some photos of her trekking experience<\/p>\n

Getting quite a few DMs so here\u2019s how you can get there: Fly to Cochin, Kerala. Take an auto rickshaw or taxi to Suryanelli. Either get a permit to hike 8kms through the tea estate or get a 4×4 ride from one of the service providers to get to the Kolukkumalai Campsite. I recommend camping there overnight. Wake up early and hike for ~1.8km (150-200ft elevation gain) from the campsite to Bose peak to catch the sunrise.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
