BANGALORE TO BANGALORE
Trip Overview
One of Bangalore`s best hiking trails, the Uttari Betta is a 5 kms trek across a spectacular lush green landscape which offers a quite unique scenic view similar to that of 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 Sankareswari 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. After spending some time at the top with little chit-chat around the campfire, enjoy the sunset and after sometime we begin to descend back towards the base point of the trek.
