Hill-stations around Bangalore
Around 260 kms from Bangalore is a beautiful hill
station called Kemmannugundi. It falls in Tarikere taluk of Chikkamagaluru
district of Karnataka. At 1434m above sea level, the place is also popularly
known as Sri Krishnarajendra Hill Station.
There are various gardens and
mountains and also has beautiful valley views. You can enjoy the view of sunset
from Raj Bhavan. The beautiful Kallathi or Kallathgiri falls is around 10km on the road to
Tarikere from Kemmangundi. These falls are also known as Kalahasthi falls. There
is also a beautiful temple here which is attributed to Vijayanagar empire
times. This place is associated with Agastya, the Hindu sage.
Around 390 kms from Bangalore is a beautiful waterfall called Hidlumane falls which lies in Hosanagara Taluk in Shimoga. It is about 10 kms from a place called Nitturu, 45 kms from Hosanagara and is at the base of Kodachadri hill.
You will need to trek down the forest for 2 to 3 kms and you will witness a series of small and big falls. Like all other water-falls, you should visit during monsoons. As there won’t be any foodstores on the way, you should carry your own eatables.
BR Hills, also known as Biligiri Rangana Hills
take their name from the famous Ranganatha Swamy Temple which sits
at the edge of these hills. There is a dense forest and is at the border of
Tamil Nadu and Karnataka. The hills is considered as bio-geographic bridge
between Western and Eastern Ghats. These hills are situated at a distance of
90km from Mysore and 28 km from Yelandur.
The forest around is called BRT
Wildlife sanctuary and is declared as a Tiger Reserve. September to April is
the best time to visit BR Hills. You can check our Champak tree, coffee
estates. Also, it has got some lovely trekking trails, including the one that
leads up to Honnamati, which is the highest point of the range. Behind
the temple, there is a platform which will give you the best panoramic views.
The nearest Railway station is at Chamarajanagar, which is about 40 kms from BR
Hill. The place is 220 kms from Bangalore and 185 kms from Coimbatore.
Interesting places around Bangalore
Bangalore is in the middle of Western and Eastern
Ghats and has lots of places around which are interesting and will interest
youngsters and elders alike.
There is a beautiful temple called KotiLingeswara, which is around 100 kms from Bangalore. The route has some
beautiful rocky mountains on the way and you will really enjoy the scenery and
beauty of the landscape. It has got a beautiful Shiva temple where there are
close to around 1 crore Shiva lingas.
All the lingas are beautifully installed
around the grounds of the temple. When you visit the temple, you will feel
overwhelmed to see so many lingas around you. Also, there is one huge Shiva
Linga which is supposed to be the largest in the world. The place is very close
to Kolar and Bangarpet. You can get down at Bangarpet railway station and take
an auto or taxi from there.
There is a 57 feet statue of Gomateshwara or Bahubal, which is supposed to be the architectural wonder of the world. There are a lot of Jain temples around here. People throng this place to pray to get their wishes fulfilled.
Another interesting place which is around 130 km from Bangalore is Pandavapura, which is believed to be the place where Pandavas stayed during their exile. Pandava’s mother, Kunti liked the hillock a lot and it was one of her favourite haunts and is therefore called Kunti betta.
It is also believed that Bheema killed the monster Bhakasura and has got a large footprint of Bheema and the place is called Bheemanna Pada. These rocks are also called as the French rocks because the French had camped here to help Tipu Sultan’s army for a battle against British.

See the beauty of Bangalore palace
Bangalore Palace was
built by the first Principal of Central High School in Bangalore,
Rev. Garrett. Later, this property was bought from him by the
Maharaja of Mysore, Chamarajendra Wadiyar.
Currently, this property is owned by Mysore Royal family's present
descendant, Srikanta Datta Narsimharaja Wadiyar. The palace is spread
across 45,000 sq feet with a mix of Scottish Gothic and Tudor
architecture. It houses battlements, foiled windows and turrets which
resemble the Daria Daulat Palace of Srirangapatanam.
The palace is constructed largely of wood and is famous for its
paintings and carvings.
Bangalore Palace Attractions :
- Coat Of Arms: This was presented to Chamaraja Wadiyar by British. In the center of the Coat of Arms is the mythological two-headed bird Ganda Bherunda, which used to be the emblem of the Wadiyar’s. There is another mythological animal on the emblem, which has the head of an Elephant and Lion. This symbolizes power and royalty.
- The courtyard has a bench and a fountain which was
gifted by the King of Spain Don Alphonso.
Sunday is a holiday and visiting hours are between 10:00am till 6:00pm.
10 AM to 6 PM (Sunday Holiday).
Explore Mysore: The beautiful city of Karnataka: Part 2
The next day, we went to Chamundihills. Chamundi is only about 13 kms from Mysore and so we took a
bus, route number 201 from the Mysore main bus stand till Chamundi.
The bus took us via the Mysore zoo a well. The total travel time was only about 30 minutes and we thoroughly
enjoyed the view on the way. You can either go for free darshan or
buy tickets for darshan. It depends upon the crowd. The temple is
usually crowded during Tuesdays and Fridays. The Chamundeshwari
Temple is supposed to be one among the 18 Maha Shakti Peethas in
India.
After
visiting the temple, on our way back, we checked out the Mysore Zoo.
Mysore zoo is very famous and has got a variety of animals and birds.
We walked for about 4 kms across the zoo and spent time with each
animal. For people, who cannot walk, there is an option of battery
operated buses as well. At the entrance of the zoo, stands the
majestic giraffe. You can find lions, elephants, tigers, leopards,
various types of apes and birds, bears, deer, hippo, rhino etc. The
beautiful concept about Mysore zoo is that the animals can be adopted
by people and the animal's living and maintenance expenses are paid
off by the people who adopt.
There are still a lot of places to
cover in Mysore. It is a lovely city and one should definitely
explore.
