    A good rule of thumb is to give yourself at least four days if you want to avoid rushing. That lets you hit a coffee estate in the early morning, trek Mullayanagiri before noon, visit the wildlife sanctuary in the late morning, and climb Baba Budangiri in the afternoon. If you stay at Hotel Aadrika, you’re only a kilometre from the town centre and the main trekking routes, so you can drop by the estate or the sanctuary on short drives.
