I have been here 3 times, reached the top twice. If you're going for the first time, do read this fully. One of the better treks on the outskirts of bangalore. The trek is roughly 3.9 kms uphill. (as per my smartwatch) Tips: *This is a steep beginner-Intermediate trek which may take a rough 1.5-2.5 hours uphill and 40-60 mins downhill based on your fitness level. * Start early in the morning around 4 am if you wanna experience the best view. Really good sports/trekking shoes are a *MUST . Slippers/sandals are going to make it really hard avoid em. Barefoot is also okay as long as you're confident and not doing it during the day time(the rock starts to get really hot aft 12pm) *avoid during the rainy season. Few portions of the trek do get slippery n get fatal *Carry sunscreen, energy bars, 2 litres of water, a powerbank, (don't keep hydrating yourself unless you really need to, it'll only slow you down) though you'll find vendors selling butter milk, water, juice etc atop. Keep your backpack light. *Garbage bags are a must. Do not litter around this beautiful place. Carry your stuff all the way downhill *Have breakfast at the bottom before you start. The Locals provide you really good home made food. Do not start on an empty tummy. *There are white arrows painted on the rock to direct you, follow em all the way. Beautiful trek, Sundays are usually crowded try going on a saturday. Haffun, Safe trekking and DO NOT LITTER.

If you're in Gokarna, this is a must visit place. Yana rocks, also know as Yana Caves was formed due to volcanic eruption. You can hire a car from gokarna or travel with your personal vehicle. Before 1 km from this caves, you would need to park your vehicle and trek till you reach there. The amazing trek brings you closer to nature. There is a small temple before you enter the caves. You can not enter the caves without visiting the temple.

Visited Hill for sunset view. We parked our can near Hampi Bus stand and strolled towards hills which is 10 mins walk from the car parking. Started climbing hill up and reached to the top in just 25 minutes. The climbing hill isn’t very safe as the boulders are little curvy, slippery and there is nothing to hold for support. Don’t forget to carry water and a torch with you. View from the hilltop is breath taking. You can get a 360 degree surreal view of Hampi displaying Virupaksha temple, Hampi Bazaar, Boulders scattered to the places on one side and green paddy fields, Anjaneya Hills on the other side of the Tungabhadra river.

Ramanagara is around at a distance of 49 kms from Bangalore. We started from kengeri ksrtc bus station at around 6:30 am in a ksrtc bus which headed to mysuru. We got down at ramanagara ksrtc bus station at around 8:30 am. We had a quick breakfast at a near by hotel at a reasonable price. We took a local auto from the bus station to the srs hills which is at around 14 kms from the ramanagar ksrtc bus station. We reached the hills in 20 minutes. We started our trek at around 9:30 am and reached the peak by 12:00 pm and took the blessings of the lord sri revanasiddeshwara swami. We got down the hills by 1:30 pm. And again we took a ksrtc bus from srs to the ramanagara ksrtc bus station. We Had our lunch at a near by hotel. We started back to the Bangalore by 3:00 pm. There are very frequent ksrtc bus available both the ways. Recommendings : -Do not trek during rainy / on high sunny days. -Do not start the trek in empty stomach. -have enough water bottles and other refreshments in the bag packs. -Be careful about the bag packs as there are monkeys which might snatch the things away from you -Be more careful while visiting with toddlers and elderly people. As there are very small steps that are steep and slippery which might be comparatively more challenging to them. *overall it was a tremendous trek which gave an extremely refreshing atmosphere *definitely, one feels to re-trek *as the trek can be completed soon within half a day, one gets enough time to visit a near by well known place called "janapada loka" (closed on Tuesdays). -A MUST TREKKING HILL❤

River Arkavathy joins river cauvery at Mekedatu Sangama. scenic beauty of this place was amazing. One can cross the sangama by round shaped boats (INR 50 per person). Initially this place was not there in our itinerary. As hogenakkal waterfalls was closed due to flood, this place was included. Around 100 KM from hogenakkal. Perfect place for one day outing from Bangalore (100 km).

This is a nice one day outing. Preferable to go early in the morning. There is ample car park at the entry. Road is good from NH side. One can take a leisurely walk all the way up. There is shortcut by steps, but I prefer the road route. Less stressful, shade is there and you can view far away. One can also mix the routes. Take enough water and food. Nothing on the way. Great especially after rainy season
