Uttari Betta

A fort hillock located 80km from Bangalore near Kunigal. It offers unique scenic views similar to western ghats. The trek starts from a small village, entering the fort wall and passes through seven doors of stone to reach the halfway point of the hike which has a temple of Shankareswar at the top. The view from the temple top is beautiful enough to seize your mind for a moment. Once we cross the temple, the trek continues ahead crossing a small jungle-cave experiencing a whole new unexpected world and ends at the grassland top of the hill which is surrounded by huge boulders, a tiny closed temple with a small refreshments shop. There are steps and railings all along.
