SRS Hills, also known as Revanasiddeshwara Betta, is a beautiful destination for trekking and spiritual seekers, located approximately 60 km from Bengaluru. This hill is famous for its temple at the top, dedicated to Lord Revanasiddeshwara, and offers a mix of adventure and serenity. After exploring Kunagalu Betta in the morning, we returned to SRS Hills around 10:00 AM. The timing was perfect, as the temple atop the hill had just opened for visitors. We climbed to the top, eager to have darshana of Lord Revanasiddeshwara and enjoy the breathtaking views from the summit. The climb to the top of SRS Hills is a moderate trek with well-maintained steps leading to the temple. It takes around 30–45 minutes to reach the summit. The journey is surrounded by lush greenery and rocky landscapes, making it a refreshing experience. At the top, the hill offers a peaceful ambiance and panoramic views of the surrounding countryside. The ideal time to visit SRS Hills is during the winter months (Octo...

If you're looking for a short and rewarding trek near Bengaluru, Kunagalu Betta is an excellent choice. Located approximately 60 km from Bengaluru, this hill offers a peaceful trekking experience with stunning views and a peaceful atmosphere.   Our Journey: Harshith accompanied me on this quick ride and short trek. We started our trip early in the morning at 5:00 AM from Bengaluru to make the most of the day. Our initial plan was to visit Revanasiddeshwara Betta, a popular spot in the area. We reached the base of the hill by 7:00 AM, only to find that the temple on top opens at 8:00 AM.   Not wanting to waste time, we searched for nearby places and stumbled upon Kunagalu Betta, just a 10-minute ride from SRS Hills. Curious and excited, we decided to explore this lesser-known destination — a decision we were delighted with by the end of our trek!   When we arrived, we noticed a couple of bikes already parked near the entrance. There isn’t a designated parkin...

This year, I decided to celebrate my birthday in a special way—with a quick trip to Shirdi. We booked our flight well in advace. There’s a direct flight from Bengaluru to Shirdi, which made the journey so convenient and hassle-free. We landed in Shirdi feeling excited and blessed. The town’s spiritual energy is something you can feel right away. Visiting the Sai Baba Temple was the highlight of our trip. The darshana was a peaceful and fulfilling experience, and having it on my birthday made it even more meaningful. After darshana for dinner we had been to Shri Sai Prasadalaya.  The trip was short and sweet. We didn’t spend too much time, but it was just enough to soak in the divine atmosphere and return with a sense of calm and gratitude. Shirdi is perfect for a quick getaway, especially if you’re looking for a spiritual experience. I’m so glad we chose to visit, and I couldn’t have asked for a better way to spend my birthday.

We boarded a train from Varanasi to Ujjain, embarking on a long 17-hour journey to Ujjain. While the ride was tiring, the anticipation of visiting this famous temple kept our spirits high. As we reached Ujjain, the bustling streets and the sound of temple bells welcomed us warmly. The Mahakaleshwar Jyotirlinga is a revered Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Shiva. It is one of the twelve Jyotirlingas, which are considered the holiest shrines of Shiva. This sacred temple is situated in the historic city of Ujjain, in the Indian state of Madhya Pradesh.  Thanks to Jagganna’s friend Rahul, everything was well-organized. Rahul arranged for our stay and ensured a smooth Darshana experience. The temple was crowded, with devotees from across the country waiting for their turn to seek blessings. Despite the rush, we had a quick darshana, and the energy inside the temple was truly divine. The linga in the sanctum radiates a unique power that fills you with peace and devotion. The intricate arch...
