A hilltop shaped like the back of an ox {Ettu is ox in Kannada and Bhuja is shoulder}, this one is deep in the Charmadi Ghats. This trail is accessible from a small village called Shishila. You can pitch your tent right at the shoulder ridge of the peak, facing the windward and leeward side of the mountain. Ah, bliss! The sound of the stream near the camping ground provides enough water for your bare necessities and also lulls your into slumber. Beware of leeches though. That is all!
