Skandagiri Sunrise Trek

Sports Available

Skandagiri (also historically known as Kalavara Durga or Kalwara Durga) is a mountain fortress located around 70 km from Bangalore. This moderately challenging trek rewards you through a spectacular journey amidst the wilderness. The trail starts from the base point and hereby begins the sunrise trek.

The serene and sublime atmosphere around Skandagiri will definitely boost up your adrenaline to a whole new level. This 8 km trek can easily be completed within 4 hours of ascending and descending. Tried and tested both by amateurs and professionals, this moderately difficult trek is a must for all thrill seekers.

The climb gets a little trying as you reach the Papagni Temple, hereby offering treacherous terrains amongst the dense shrubs around. From this point, the steep climb may require thirty footwork till you reach the summit.

The ruined remains of Tipu Sultan's fortress and an abandoned fort remains at the top of the hill. Skandagiri is famous for walking above the clouds in the early morning.

Wake up to experience the morning winds caressing you, as you open your eyes to get the most magnanimous sight of the sun rising above beds of clouds, a sight so rare and equally refreshing. The misty valley of Skandagiri is bound to leave an everlasting impression on your mind.
