Kalasa Dairies – Part – 3 : Kyatanamakki Hill

-

Kyatanamakki ride was suggested by the Homestay guy when we approach him for any other places to visit around. Since we didn’t plan anything specific for this trip.

After spending some time in Soormane waterfalls, he suggested us to visit Kyatanamakki during sunset time. He arranged a vehicle for us to visit Kyatanamakki. We need 4X4 wheel drive vehicle to reach Kyatanamakki peak.

Kyatanamakki hill station is located around 20 Km from Kalasa(purli home stay from the place we stayed and its near to Hornadu, we can visit to Hornadu temple also on the way). Kyatanamakki off road route offers a superb scenic beauty on top of the hill.

We started at 3.30 PM from homestay, and it was a wonderful experience traveling in this open jeep.



Till we reach Kyatanamakki hill base (parking place) road condition is good we can go by our own vehicle till there. From this point its another kind of experience.

Its almost 1-hour jeep ride from Homestay. We reached on time and searching for the place to sit and enjoy the sunset.

We can walk around for few distance around this peak.











Some beautiful landscape pics




Witnessed sunset, clicked some pics around and headed back to Homestay.







Best part of this journey was off road jeep drive and beautiful sunset.



Travel Tips:

  • Better to carry water bottle and some snacks (same time don’t throw empty bottles around, bring it back with you). There is no shops available around.
  • Carry warm cloths, while returning temp will drop suddenly.
  • Don’t try to drive on your own, 4X4 drive must require at this place.
  • Heard trekking option also open around this place but need to check.
  • For Jeep they charged 3.5K since they picked us from Homestay.

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...
