One of the most beautiful temples that still holds its spectacular charm after 1000 years. The temple is peaceful and serene. It is not possible to move your eyes away from the statue of Venugopalaswamy. All the moorthys are made of shaligrama and shows the expertise of the then sculptors that they look as good as new even today. The carvings outside the temple are a sight to behold too. Definitely worth the visit.

Just one to describe it...SCENIC!!. This place is a hidden gem and is not very crowded. The best part about the devaramane hills are that, it can be accessed till the top in vehicle, and those who are interested can further climb and reach the summit. There is a kalabhairaveshwara temple on the top which is an ancient temple. Currently there are some renovations going on to improvise the surroundings and make it more tourist friendly. Please be careful of the steep hairpin bends on the way and ensure a good and an experienced driver is taking you. It is nearly 20 km detour from the main highway. Overall it was a beautiful place, worth visiting and we saw it without having to climb it...what else could one ask for??..

We started from Bangalore around 8:00 AM. Instead of heading to Shimoga first, we went to Kemmangundi hills in Chikkamagaluru. The TH Road after Hiriyur is an amazing stretch to drive on where we found barren lands, greenery, mountain ranges and not much of a crowd. On the NH 57, we got into the Kemmangundi road. We reached the junction around lunch time and started looking for restaurants. There are only few restaurants on this road but mostly every place was closed. For our lunch we found "Food point" who had ample options but we settled with dal, roti and zeera rice and it served well for two. There is good view even from this restaurant. We then reached Sri Krishna Rajendra Hillstation Guest House point. This place looked cool for accommodation. 300 metres after this point, we started driving in a muddy road. We were unsure if we could take the car ahead to view Shanti falls and Z point, however we still went in. It was a bumpy ride all along (about 1.5km) and quite adventurous. The route got narrower and the car had to be parked at some point. We then set on our foot to discover Shanti falls and Z point. There were no other Humans in this area but a dog who accompanied us all along. We reached the peaceful Shanti falls where we spent some quality nature time, following a short walk in the direction of Z point. Since it was only the two of us, I gave up walking further. But the Z point is easily approachable and very suitable for a trek to the other side. So must try! We then went further up to view the Rose garden which is a pretty good spot for family, kids and adults. We viewed the Z point from this point, which was quite far. This spot also has a government run hotel and is available to book accommodation in advance. This is a perfect place to stay when in Kemmangundi as it gives you great view of the mountain ranges from the hilltop. We then went back to the Krishna Rajendra hotel for tea. They also serve variety of food. We left Kemmangundi around 5ish to reach Shimoga.
