I and my friends from the VVIET college went to MugiluPete, Pushpagiri
wildlife sanctuary and Dubare which are
near to Madikeri.
Mugilupete(Mandalapatti):
MugiluPete (Mugilpete) is around 20-30kms from Madikeri. This place is popularly known as Mandalpatti. It is called as "Mugilupete" due to Kannada film "Galipata". MugiluPete is very cold & almost all the place is covered by mist.

This place comes near to
Somwarpete town. Mandala Patti is one of the trekking points
in Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary or Pushpagiri Forest Range. Pushpagiri Forest
Range spreads from Subrahmanya in Dakshina Kannada district to Somwarpet in
Coorg district covering an area of 102.6 sq km. Kumara Parvata Peak stands the
tallest amongst the peaks in Pushpagiri Wildlife Sanctuary.
There is an entrance fees (Rs.40 per head/now it is
increased to 200) near the view-point (mantapa). If you feel it costly, you can
climb any of the adjacent small hills to have an equivalent view. You can camp in this place with
the prior permission.
You can watch the video about Mandalpatti in youtube.

Route map to Mandalapatti( Mugilupete):
In Mysore-Madikeri state highway you have to
take deviation towards "Abby Falls". Then 3kms before Abby Falls you get a
y junction where left turn leads to Abby falls and the right mud road will
lead you to the Mandalapatti.You have to take
right deviation towards Mandalapatti .This
road is very bad & it is difficult to go in bike or car. It is better to go
in SUV(4wd)s. You can hire jeep from Madikeri which costs around 900 rupees.

I went to Mugulpete in December 2013, I think other places in Madkeri or Coorg worth seeing than Mugulpete, This is waste of money & time, Since Jeep charges are 1400/- plus entrance fee of Rs 20/ per head.
Could anybody please confirm if I can drive an Innova to this place? Also, If ai do not wish to truck, how is the place?
You can drive Innova, no problem sir..
hay can anyone give me number of any ones num who arranges tent for tourests in top of the mandalpatti... ?

I had been Madikeri once and just enjoyed the Abbey falls view. I had stayed one of the Hotels in madikeri and enjoyed my those days. It's great place for tourist and i am sure you gonna love the view of Abbey falls. It's mind blowing.

It was great reading about your Mysore Bangalore travel experience. I've been looking for budget hotels in Mangalore, as may be visiting this city soon.
Thanks for such a informative post.
Nicely described. Madikeri is the awesome scenic place for tourists to enjoy, to spend the holidays, to take rest. I Love Coorg and madikeri, as it is so Calm and Cool place to Spend time. Coorg is also famous for hospitality services, it is known for Good hospitality. Many resorts in coorg, homestay and hotels aim in providing stay facilities to Guest and travellers.
Mugilupete is an awesome place for any day of the year. You can take help from these guys for contacts over there. They will help you http://zebracross.net/
