Tamia Hills Winter Trek | Breakfast at the Peak with Stunning Satpura Views

We trekked through Tamia Hills in winter to reach a mountain peak where breakfast was served with stunning Satpura views

Tamia Hills winter trek takes us deep into the heart of the Satpura Range, where forest trails, quiet cliffs, and layered mountain views come together. Organised by Serendipity Lakes and Resort, this guided experience lets us explore Tamia beyond sightseeing — by walking through its landscapes, stories, and natural rhythm.

As we trek through the forest trail, we learn why sand and sediments settle at the foothills, shaped over thousands of years by rain, rivers, and gravity. Along the way, we pass Nilgiri plantations, observe sedimentary rock formations, and notice small but powerful signs of a healthy ecosystem like lichen, which grows only where the air is clean.

A rare highlight of this trek is spotting oudh (agarwood) growing on an Aquilaria tree. The aromatic resin forms only when the tree is naturally injured or infected, making it a rare natural process found deep inside forest regions like Tamia’s Medicine Valley.

The trail also leads us past Vulture Point, named after the vultures that rest and soar along these steep cliffs, riding the valley air currents. From the top, the view opens up to endless layers of the Satpura Hills, softened by winter mist — calm, silent, and breathtaking.

This is a moderate-level trek, suitable for most fitness levels. We even had two couples around sixty trekking comfortably with us, showing how manageable and enjoyable this trail can be at a steady pace.

At the peak, we are welcomed with a thoughtfully arranged breakfast at the top — one of the highlights of the journey. The spread includes hot tari poha, fresh aloo parathas, soft uttapam, sandwiches, seasonal fruits, and endless cups of tea and coffee, all enjoyed with panoramic Satpura views in the winter cold.
