Camping in Devarayanadurga

Devarayanadurga (Fort of the God) received its name from the Mysore ruler, Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar, who captured it on one of his victorious feats. Camping in Devarayanadurga is a delightful experience as this beautiful destination is located close to several natural springs such as the iconic Namada Chilume. 

Camp out at the base of the majestic grey rocks and go for a trek to the summit at dawn. Covered in dense foliage and featuring lovely winding paths, you’re sure to uncover hidden nooks in nature. The hilltops are also home to several ancient temples such as Yoganarasimha and the Bhoganarasimha. 

Camping in Devarayanadurg is also a great place for those who love spooky stories and myths. According to legend, this rocky destination is haunted. So, sit around a campfire during the evening and share some spine-chilling stories with your loved ones under the milky light of the moon.
