Tadiandamol Mountain

 

Tadiandamol, the second-highest mountain in Karnataka and the tallest peak in the Coorg area, is a hiker's dream. At the height of 1,748 meters, the grassy ground and gentle slopes entice you with their picturesque appeal and tranquil ambience. The Padi Igguthappa Temple is a significant attraction to this area. The main god of the indigenous Kodavas is Igguthappa, who is worshipped in this region as the "Giver of Grain." It was built for the The Kodagu Ruler Chikka Veera Rajendra who needed a secure place to live because the British were after him. One of Tadiandamol's top tourist destinations is Nalaknad Palace, built in the late 1790s.
