Trekking in Antharagange

Antharagange, is a peak in the Shathashrunga mountain range in Karnataka's Kolar district. In Kannada, Anthara Gange means 'Deep Stream' or 'Inner Stream.' It is approximately two miles from Kolar and 70 kilometers from Bangalore. Antharagange is well-known for its Sri Kashi Vishweshwara temple, also known as Kashi of the South. Lord Shiva is the patron of the temple. A pond in the temple receives a constant supply of groundwater from the mouth of a Basava (stone bull). Drinking water from the pond is thought to cure a variety of illnesses.

Trekking in Antharagange caves is moderate with a steep and narrow path that leads behind the Visheshwara Temple to the top of the mountain.  The caves are about 3-4 kilometers from the temple. After a visit to the temple, exploring these mysterious caves adds to your trekking experience as it unveils the hidden secrets of this enchanting hill. Trekking through the caves at night is very popular as well as pitching a tent at the foothills and sleeping under the sky.
