'''Mullayanagiri''' is the highest peak in [[Karnataka]], [[India]]. Mullayyanagiri is located at {{coord|13|23|26|N|75|43|18|E|}} in the Chandra Dhrona Hill Ranges of the [[Western Ghats]] of [[Chikkamagaluru]] Taluk. With a height of {{convert|1930|m|ft|}},<ref>{{cite web|title=District : Chickmagalur State : Karnataka| url = http://www.chickmagalur.nic.in/htmls/tour_mullain.htm#mul | publisher=National Informatics Centre}}</ref> it is the highest peak in Karnataka. The summit of Mullayanagiri has a small temple and houses a police radio relay station. Seethalayyanagiri is a prominent peak which is adjacent to this place.<br />
<br />
== Temple ==<br />
The peak gets its name from a small temple (gadduge/tomb) at the summit, which is dedicated to a sage "Mulappa swamy" who is believed to have meditated at the caves only a couple of feet below the summit. The caves are accessible and not very deep, they have a direct entrance to the garbagudi of the temple, which is now blocked by the temple priests. Apart from multiple versions of folklore and strong [[Siddha]] culture around the belt, the origins or any information about the deity remains ambiguous. Mullai refers to forest in Old Tamil-Kannada language.{{cn|date=March 2020}}<br />
<br />
== Trekking ==<br />
Previously, when the present asphalt roads and the 464 stone and concrete steps were not present, a trail was used to reach the peak, known as 'Sarpadari' or 'Sarpanadi'. Although it is not very frequently visited now, this trail is cherished by trekkers.{{fact|date=December 2017}}<br />
