Kalavaarahalli Betta
Distance from Bangalore – 70km.
Time of Journey – not more than 2 hours.
Parking – Yes.
Trek Time – 90 - 120mins.
Route - Bangalore - Hebbal Flyover - Yalahanka - Devanahalli - Chikkaballapur.
Once you reach Chikkaballapur you will find a statue of Visvesvaraya in one of the circle, take a left there and keep going straight until you get a temple, from here just ask anyone of how to go to Omkara Jyoti Ashrama which is at the base of the hills.
Clouds Clouds Clouds everywhere so you are very much in the middle of them. It is very much like the window side view when you are traveling in the plane, the big difference is you are out there and you can feel them. Honestly I don’t have words to express the wonderful scene I witnessed out there. Check out the picture that will say it all.
This place is quite popular but not as much as it deserves to be, well you can find a lot of people out there, normally people come in groups in the night time to trek in the moon light to the top and put a tent there and hangout till morning.
We left to this place around 2am from Bangalore and reached at around 4am. If you are planning to trek in moon light and its your first time to this place I would recommended you to take a guide, he should charge you anything b/w 200-300 rs. Carry a torch and it will be freezing cold up there, so warm clothes too.
The best time I would say is between 6-8am and I don’t think you can stay up there for more then 30 mins, its very chill out there. We were actually trying to find some shelter to escape from the cold breeze.
Definitely place worth visiting, to make the most of it go early. Happy Trekking :)

Its really worth trekking skandagiri.. Beautiful sunrise view.. U'll be above the clouds.. Not that tough to climb if u've experience in trekking..
I suggest moon light trekking during summer/spring.. Winter will block the view..
