Baba Budan Hills, Chikmagaluru Chikamagaluru is known as the "Coffee Land" of Karnataka. If you are a Kannadiga {Kannada Speaking people}, you maybe well aware of how the name Chikamagaluru was derived. Now for the rest of my readers, Chikamagaluru  in Kannada means "Younger daughter's town". It is said to have been given as a dowry to the youngest daughter of Rukmangada, the legendary chief of Sakrepatna {in Chikmagaluru district}.This place remains cool even during the summer season making it more alluring to the tourists. The Baba-Budan range has taken its name from the 1895 meters high Baba-Budan Giri, situated just 28 kms north of Chikmagalur town.

Baba Budangiri is known for its shrine to the Sufi saint Baba Budan, a pilgrimage site for both Hindus and Muslims. This shrine is open to people of all religions sho...
