Begin your adventure-packed day trip from Bangalore with an early morning drive to Skandagiri Hill, which stands tall at an altitude of 1350 meters above sea level. This hill is also known as Kalvarbetta, located near Nandi Hills in the Chikkaballapur district of Karnataka. It’s a perfect place for trekking enthusiasts who want to experience the thrill of a sunrise trek.
Begin your thrilling trek to the top of Skandagiri Hill, also known as the 'trekker's paradise.' The trek is slightly challenging, but the stunning views and cool breeze will make your effort all worth it. The trek starts from the foothills and goes through lush green forests, rocky terrain, and steep slopes, before reaching the top at dawn.
As you reach the hilltop, witness the mesmerizing sunrise view from the peak. The rising sun paints the sky with vibrant colors, and the view of the surrounding hills, valleys, and the Nandi Fort in the distance is simply breathtaking and makes for a perfect Instagram moment.
As you descend from the hilltop, savor the views of the beautiful landscape around. The descent is a bit easier than the ascent, but it still requires you to be cautious on the steep slopes and rocky terrain.
After the thrilling trek, enjoy a delicious breakfast at a local restaurant in the town of Chikkaballapur. You can try the famous South Indian dishes like idli, vada, dosa, and filter coffee, which will energize you for your next destination.
