Haranahalli is the native place of JD(S) Supremo H.D Deve Gowda. A 3 hours ride to Haranahalli passes through beautiful villages showcasing the traditional culture of Karnataka. Visit Deve Gowda's ancestral house, now a modest dwelling, to learn more about the former Prime Minister of India.
The Bisle Ghat Sunrise View Point offers a breathtaking view of the sunrise between the Bisle forest canopy. The morning chill, breathtaking views, and a hot cup of tea would make the ride to the point worthwhile. After watching the sunrise, ride to the Manjarabad Fort for an amazing view.
Ride through the final stretch of green-covered hills to reach Sakleshpur. Start the day with a Sakleshpur Green Route Trekking experience. The journey takes you from Donigal railway station to Yedakumeri railway station and passes through multiple bridges, tunnels, and waterfalls. After completing the trek, head to Mallahalli Falls for a relaxing dip in the cool waters. On the way back to Bangalore, revisit the heritage place of Sravanabelagola.
If you have an extra day, visit some of the other popular places in Sakleshpur like Ettina Bhuja Trek, Pandavar Gudda, Kukke Subrahmanya Temple, and Belur Halebeedu. Alternatively, if you have less time on hand, skip Deve Gowda's Ancestral House. You can also add a night stay at Bisle Ghat to see the scenic beauty under the moonlight and visit the nearby attractions.
