Steps all along the way to the temple on top of the hill.
Visited on a Thursday , very peaceful and lovely winds. Carry sunglasses/Cap/Water.
Picturesque views on top , there is a small trail heading to left side of the temple , follow that and it will take you to open space and views.

Good Trekking Place, Proper steps are there to trek. There is a Veerbhadra Temple at the top. Beware of Monkeys. You can enjoy a natural fish spa there in the kund at the top of the hill.

Weekend getaway spot with very easy trek and beautiful view.
Located 15kms away from Doddaballapur and 50kms from Bangalore.
Veerabhadreshwara temple located at the top of hill..Roads are good to reach and have enough parking space.

Beautiful location for trekking & visiting Lord Veer Bhadra Swamy temple at the hill top. The temple & the ramparts were built by Chola kings about a thousand years ago.
The trek is relatively easier & one can reach the top in 1 to 1.5 hours. Stairs are built with handrails. Temporary shades have been built all the way through the top. There is a Nandi temple on the way. Lots of locals visit this place for paying tributes to Lord Veerbhadra Swamy. Suitable for people of all age groups. Carry water on the way. At the start there is an arch, where there are couple of shops and a Kalyana Mandap. They serve free lunches between 1 and 3 PM everyday, free of cost. Locals are extremely friendly & helpful. Maintain the sanctity of this place. There is ample parking space available.

Best place to visit with family or friends. Becarefull with honey bees. Try to go early morning. One hour trekking time. Not so hard. Never miss a chance to visit if have a chance 😃👍

Beautiful... clean and neat hill. Veerabadraswamy temple is very nice...
Moderate trekking. Enough space is available for car parking in the basement of the hill.
We started climb up by 6-30. Beautiful landscape view from the top ..

A perfect weekend gateway from bengaluru.
Breathtaking view from the top and the air vanishes all your pain and sorrow.
Kindly dont trow any plastic or garbage in and around the place & Till now its not much explored and harmed by so called social media vloggers and tiktokers.

Not a regular trekking place, there are steps upto the temple at the top... We tried to explore the area around the top...
It will take 1 to 1.5 hours to climb...
Almost 1 hour drive from North Bengaluru...
No tickets....

Decent trekking spot near Bangalore, the climb is atbeat easy to moderate and can be completed in 1.5 hours max. The trek start point is near temple and there are couple of places which have sheds to take shelter either from scorching sun or rains which is a nice touch. Path is well laid out and for a stretch where steps are cut in rocks there is metal rod that runs along the steps to prove support. Enjoy the nice view from the top and stop by the lake nearby if you have time.
There is ample parking space near the temple. Make sure you carry enough water and snacks as there are no shops around but please don't litter.

Nice small trekking place, almost 1.5hr from the heart of Bengaluru
If ur from South of Bangalore, you can travel via Hesarghatta route for awesome views and greenery.
Best to travel early morning, and start the Trek before 7-8am to avoid the sun

It's a simple 1hr climb, and u can explore the temple, historical wall/fort and the open spaces at the top for a great view

Beautiful hill. There are steps and railings until the top. It is advised to walk bare foot as there's a temple at the top. Temple was closed when I went( saturday), from the locals i heard temple would be open on Fridays. Beautiful views from the top, lot of monkeys too,so don't carry any eatables loosely it'd be snatched off. Lot of plastic waste near the temple though so please don't litter. Can be hiked even during rain as there are shelters built on the path. Overall a good hill to hike during weekends. Anyone who can walk can climb this easily.

Nice drive from Bangalore, only the final patch (~1km) of roads are bad, reasonable amount of (uncovered) parking space for cars. The steps up to the top are truly treacherous for the uninitiated but the view from the top makes it all worthwhile. I didn't really count, but there are probably about 350-500 steps to the top. Not all of them are of even height. If you're fit, you could probably do the whole thing in 45 mins. Took me an hour and a half. We started at 9:45-ish and the last of us reached the top by 11:15-ish. Spent a good few hours resting under the cool shade of a giant boulder. We were back down by 2:45. Gets very hot on the way up even though there are plenty of sheds on the way where you can catch your breath. The view up top is worth it, but be warned: This will take a toll on your knees, thighs and lungs if you live a sedentary lifestyle. Take lots of water and sun protection
Tip: Go on a cloudy day or after the monsoons. Things should be a lot cooler and greenery a lot more lush.

The best one compared to other hills nearby. Free of cost no need of buying tickets. Sufficient place for parking. Best place to enjoy your day with family and friends. The sunrise looks beautiful from the view point. There is a lake on the top of the hill which is main attraction where you can enjoy in water and there is no restrictions and temple is located on the other side were you can take blessings of lord veerabadraa Swami.

Just follow the maps, road is in bad condition till the destination, and it’s a 25mins climb up to the hill top, pretty steep for elderly people, there is a temple half way. Nothing much at the top except the view, good to go for sunrise or sunset

Good place for weekend trekking. We can seek blessings of lord veerbhadra swamy also. Lot of parking space available at the starting point. On an average it takes two hours to reach the top.

It's a good ride to this place. I prefer bike rather than car. Resturants and shops are not available ( only one small shop is there nearby), so it is good to take your own food or you can buy at Belavangala( nearest town to this place ) while coming. Temple will be opened only three days a week( that includes Sunday and Friday. Anybody can complete this trek, it hardly takes an hour to do it. We did it in less than 40 mins. There are few good view spots during the climb. Three temples( one in the middle of the path , two at the top), one kalyani is also there. Please be very careful near the kalyani, it's very slippery and many have died in it.
Two wheeler and four wheeler parking is available at the base.

There is a Veerabhadraswami Cave Temple on the top of the hill and the steps are available till the temple.

It is about 1800 steps to the top temple. Initial climb has properly cut steps and as you progress higher onto the top steps are more crude but serves the purpose.

This place is ideal to visit for people who are relatively fit and have some endurance.

Carry a bottle of water as there are no stores or anything on the top similar to other hills.

Vehicle can be parked at the foot of the hills at your own risk from monkeys.

Lunch is provided by the temple trust in the dining hall in the hill base.

Plan to carry some bananas for the monkeys.

Small Climbing place. Approx 500 steps one side. At top Veerabadra Swamy and Badrakalamma temple. No shops and food at top. Small shops are there at starting point. Anna prasada on Saturday and Sunday at bottom.

Beautiful temple a top the hill , and a community choultry near the foot hills .
Got a warm welcome from our ancestors who deceased from trees to bless us all.

One of the best place. Im visiting since my childhood.

Climbing is the best part. Now they made easy with stairs till top.

If ur not fit enough then it will test ur stamina for sure and if its sunny day, its even more difficult.

On top got one pond with ice cold water. We can swim their.

They improved a lot, now a days. Got changing rooms as well. Separate for both men and women.

Good parking space as well.
