The name Amedikallu is derived from two words: Aame {Tortoise in Kannada} and Dikke {Tripod or Stove in Tulu}. This peak, an eminent one in the Charmadi range of the Western Ghats, derives its name from the massive monolith at the crest that gives the resemblance of a stove adjoining it. Along the trail, just before the foot of the last stretch, is a man-made nest overlooking the canopy of trees below. A secret hideout for campers, with a stream adjacent to the nest, nature will usually conspire to give you a night sky with shooting stars. Just keep an eye out for it.
