Z Point

Z Point A Mesmerizing Viewpoint in Chikmagalur's Hills.Z Point is one of the most scenic and thrilling viewpoints located near Kemmangundi in the Chikmagalur district of Karnataka. Nestled in the lush Western Ghats, it sits at an altitude of around 1,500 meters above sea level and offers breathtaking panoramic views of deep valleys, rolling hills, and mist-covered forests. It’s especially famous for its surreal sunrise and sunset vistas, making it a must-visit for nature lovers and photographers. To reach Z Point, visitors must trek approximately 3 kilometers from the Raj Bhavan guest house, passing through dense forest trails and a small waterfall called Shanti Falls. The moderate trek, though a bit steep in parts, is highly rewarding with scenic beauty at every step. The final stretch of the trail includes a narrow ridge that gives the viewpoint its "Z" shaped path and name. The cool breeze, chirping of birds, and undisturbed serenity at the top make Z Point an ideal escape for peace seekers, couples, and adventure enthusiasts. With minimal commercial activity, it retains its raw, natural charm. Z Point is best visited during early mornings or just before dusk for a magical experience amid the clouds and hills of Chikmagalur.
