Hemakuta Hill Temple Complex

Reviewed By kaushalkayal - Bengaluru, India

A gentle climb leads to an absolute treat. Amongst the impossibly perched boulders, is a sunset view that soothes the soul. Gentle hymns from the Virupaksha temple below waft over the hills & while you wait for the sun to drown in the horizon, there is just a sense of stillness, peace & fulfilment...!
