Trekking in Makalidurga

75 km from Bangalore and 15kms from Doddaballapur, this trail is a moderate one with rocky terrain, wild shrubs, and dense vegetation, all of which make it a delight for the tre

Located just 60 km North of Bangalore, Makalidurga is a beautiful hill-station with the ruins of a fort at its summit. The trail is moderate with a rocky terrain, wild shrubs and dense vegetation, all of which makes it a delight for trekking enthusiasts. The best part of this trek is that it fits into a one day expedition.

 

Starting from a temple of Lord Krishna (Muthurayaswamy Temple), this trail is very photogenic as it winds its way up the hill covered with forests and you get a beautiful view of the lake nearby. You’ll also glimpse the odd train chugging by next to the hill. As there are no shops or stalls at the base of the hike, make sure you carry enough food and water for this spectacular trail.

 

If you’re a photography enthusiast, take your DSLR with you to click some memorable photographs of the vistas from the summit.
