The order was withdrawn by directing agencies conducting trekking and adventure activities to conduct them by taking necessary precautions, Mr. Muhilan said in a notification on Saturday.
The Deputy Conservator of Forests, Kudremukh Wildlife Division, Karkala on August 13 sought to lift the ban on trekking to Netravathi peak under Belthngady wildlife area, he said.
