-

If you’re looking for a quiet, peaceful getaway from Namma Bengaluru, Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swami Gudi in Vaddahalli is a perfect choice. Nestled near Chintamani, this serene temple is an untouched gem waiting to be explored. It’s an excellent option for a one-day trip, and you can even include visits to Kailasagiri and Kaiwara along the way. When we were in Chintamani, we had the opportunity to visit this beautiful place.

Located about 80 km from Bengaluru, the drive to Vaddahalli is a refreshing experience. As you leave the city behind, you’ll find yourself surrounded by lush greenery and quiet village roads. It’s best to start early in the morning to make the most of your day and enjoy the cool morning breeze. Google Maps can guide you easily to Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swami Gudi.




This temple is dedicated to Lord Vishnu in his reclining form as Anantha Padmanabha Swami. The architecture is simple yet captivating, exuding a divine energy that immediately calms your mind. Since it’s relatively unknown, the temple is rarely crowded, making it an ideal spot for meditation and peaceful contemplation. You can spend time admiring the temple’s charm, participating in prayers, or simply soaking in the tranquil atmosphere.







Sri Anantha Padmanabha Swami Gudi in Vaddahalli is truly a hidden treasure. Its untouched beauty and peaceful environment make it a perfect escape for anyone looking to rejuvenate. 

Kailasagiri: 

After visiting the temple, head towards Kailasagiri, which is about 20 km away. This hill offers breathtaking views and is a great spot for nature lovers. The climb is not too difficult, and the top rewards you with panoramic views of the surrounding landscapes. It’s also a good spot for a quick picnic or some photography.




Kaiwara:

On your way back, don’t miss Kaiwara, a place of spiritual significance. Known for its connection with the saint-poet Narayanappa, Kaiwara has a calming vibe and offers several temples to explore. The Kaiwara Tapovana is especially worth visiting for its serene surroundings.



When paired with Kailasagiri and Kaiwara, this trip becomes a delightful blend of spirituality, nature, and relaxation. So, pack your bags and set out for a memorable day trip around Namma Bengaluru!

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...

Dharmasthala is one of the most visited pilgrimage destinations in Karnataka. This picturesque town, nestled in the Western Ghats, attracts millions of devotees and travelers seeking spiritual solace and peace every year. Dharmasthala is well-connected and accessible by various modes of transport. It is approximately 300 kilometers from Bangalore and 75 kilometers from Mangalore. Buses and taxis are readily available from both cities. Most people and buses take the Hassan - Sakleshpura - Shiradi Ghat route to reach Dharmasthala. However, we took the Charmudi Ghat route. During the monsoon season, this route is quite challenging due to heavy rainfall. There are plenty of accommodation options in Dharmasthala, but it is advised to book rooms online before arriving, especially during weekends and special days when it can be difficult to find available rooms. We reached Dharmasthala around 3:00 PM, quickly freshened up, and went for Darshan. It took us about an hour to complete the Darshan...
