Magadi Ranganathaswamy Temple

-
Magadi Ranganatha Swamy temple is one of the weekend gateways around Namma Bengaluru. Temple is located around 50Kms away from Bengaluru.

History of Sri Ranganatha Swamy temple:

The main idol of the god in this temple is facing West, Hence the name Paschima Venkatchalapathy, Magadi is also called as Dakshina Tirupathi which means south Tirupathi. It is said that Lord Ranganatha swamy statue size is growing year by year, so it also called as Beleyo Ranganatha swamy.




While coming back from Savandurga we visited this temple. Many movies were shooted around this temple.







Other places around Magadi are, Savandurga & Thippagondanahalli (T.G.Halli).  

 In a single day we can cover all these places, but if your planning for Savanduraga trekking its suggested to start early morning and get down by 11.00 Am and while coming back to Bengaluru we can visit other places. 

Location: Magadi, Karnataka, India

Kabbalu betta trekking is one of the options for the hikers around bengaluru and located near Kanakapura talluku. Its   around 80Kms from Bengaluru. We have couple of options to reach Kabbalu:  Bangalore > Ramnagar > Chenpatna > Kabbalu (82 KMs) Bangalore > Kanakapura > Satanuru >Kabbalu (87 Kms) I had been to this place many times before but could not get a change to trek this hill, it is one of the best places for those who wish to start trekking.  Since it’s a last minute plan, could not invite anyone for this trekking. But the special thing about this trekking is my brother Kiran joined me for this trekking. It was the first trekking with my brother.  Just to escape from the weekend traffic and the heat we started early morning around 6.00AM from Bengaluru and took Kanakapura Road to reach our destination. Even though it’s a single road the drive was awesome, last night rain added more beauty to the surrounding environment. ...

Horsley Hills is one of the perfect weekend getaway from Bengaluru, a bike ride to Horsley Hills offers a thrilling and scenic adventure. Located in the Chittoor district of Andhra Pradesh, Horsley Hills is approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru, making it an ideal destination for a short road trip.   We can take multiple routes to reach Horsley Hills but we chose,   Bengaluru – Hoskote – Chintamani – Madanapalle – Horsley Hills route. Its approximately 150 KM from Bengaluru and need 4-5 hours (depending on number of breaks we take).   The road conditions are generally good, with a mix of highways and country roads. After Hoskote, it's a single road, but the condition is relatively good. Be cautious of some potholes and patches after crossing Chintamani. Arvind and I started our ride at 5:30 AM to avoid city traffic and enjoy the cool morning breeze. The roads were relatively empty, and the slight drizzling added to the beauty of the journey. After riding for about 30 kilome...
