Located in the shadow of the Western Ghats,
Chikmagalur enjoys a salubrious climate the year round.
Summer
While most of the Karnataka districts reel under oppressive heat during
summers, the pleasant weather in Chikmangalur provides a welcome
respite. The hilly terrain and the fresh breeze that flows in through
the 25-km long Palakkad gap of the Western Ghats contribute to keep
temperatures on check. Chikmagalur records an average annual rainfall of
1886 mm.
Winter
Typical of hill stations, winter in Chikmagalur is colder than the rest
of Karnataka. You will feel the nip in the air and the occasional breeze
would send shivers up the spine.
Clothes to Wear in Chikmagalur
Opt for cotton apparels during the summer and if a winter detour is on
your mind, don't forget to pack a bagful of warm clothes. Enthusiastic
souls planning to hop along the mountain treks should bring along
trekking gear and other accessories.
