Tour Details

Howdy!

YRE presents Karnataka’s most popular hiking trail for sunrise – “Skandagiri trek”.

Skandagiri aka Kalavara Durga is located at a distance of about 60 km from Bangalore.

From the top of the hill, the stunning views of the neighbouring hills and the landscape make the journey worthwhile. It is also a site of historical significance, as on top of the Skandagiri Hill, you will come across the ruins of an 18^th-century fort, which was used by Tipu Sultan as a base to fight against the British.

The trek is 4 km long and it takes about 2-3 hours before you reach the hilltop situated at a height of 4430 feet above sea level. The terrain is a bit rugged. It is covered with dense grass and bushes and can be extremely slippery at night. Make sure to carry headlamps or torches as you’ll be navigating over slippery boulders and loose stones all along this tricky trail.

The route has six ruined fortresses and also some small Samadhi caves where trekkers can relax for a bit. In case you’ve missed them in the dark, do try spotting them on your way down from the peak. The descend offers a completely different experience as you can now enjoy the glorious views all through the trail.
