It is one of Karnataka’s best day hikes. The trip begins in a small town, enters the fort wall, and goes through seven stone doors to reach the midway point, which includes a Sankareswari shrine. The view from the top of the temple is stunning enough to take your breath away for a time.
After passing through the temple, the trip goes on via a small rainforest cave, where we will encounter a whole other universe, until arriving at the meadow top of the hill, which is encircled by massive boulders. We begin our descent back to the trek’s starting point after spending some time at the summit with some light chit-chat and a packed lunch.

What does our Uttari Betta Trek expert have to say about it?
The starting point of the journey
- We start the hike late at night intending to reach the summit before the sun rises.
The journey begins in a little town. After walking through the village in the dark for a respectable amount of time, you will enter the defensive barricade and pass through seven stone entryways. The trail is generally shaky because it passes through boulders and steps carved out of big rocks. After passing through these doors, you will reach the midpoint of the ascent, which is marked by a Shankeshwar temple.
Vista from the temple summit
- The vista from the temple’s summit is stunning enough to cling to your mind for a few moments. After going through the sanctuary, the road continues, passing through a small woodland tunnel and entering a new environment, before arriving at the grassland on the hillock’s crest, which is surrounded by enormous stones and rocks.
- We let ourselves be engulfed in the splendor of the magnificent daybreak, with its fascinating blend of hues in the sky. We’ll begin our descent back to base camp as soon as possible after that. While being enthralled by the beauty of the slopes, try to move with caution. We’ll take a break for breakfast before continuing to Bangalore.
