Baba Budangiri is a mountain in the Western Ghats range in north of Chikmagalur district of the South Indian state of Karnataka. The mountain range of Baba Budan was also called Chandra Drona Parvat Shreni (Chandra Drona Mountain Range) during ancient times due to its natural crescent moon shape. It is also referred to as Dattagiri range by some people and is one of the prime tourist and trekking places in Karnataka.

The Baba Budan Mountain is famous for the shrine of Sufi Saint, Baba Budan, who is worshiped by both Hindus and the Muslims and is a pilgrimage site for both. The mountain range is also famous among trekkers for its snake trails, moraine and rocky patches, grasslands, rolling hills, the blade ridges on the way to Mullayanagiri, camping grounds and cave explorations.
