My first night trek to Skandagiri Hills| Bangalore| Eng Sub| 2024| Places to visit near Bengaluru

Link to book tickets for Skandagiri Hills - https://www.karnatakaecotourism.com/t... In this Video, you'll find me going for a night trek for the first time in my life. The place that I'll be visiting for this is Skandagiri Hills. Of the “Panchagiris” (Nandi Giri, Channagiri, Skandagiri, Brahmagiri and Hema Giri), or five hills of Chikballapur district, trek to Skandagiri is one of the prominent ones. Skandagiri is located in a village called Kalavara Halli, and hence it is also known as Kalavara Durga. At the foothills of Skandagiri lies one of Karnataka’s ancient and oldest mutts, the Papagni Mutt. The trail starts from Papagni Mutt and follows its way to the top, where lie the ruins of a fort which dates back to the 18th Century. Tipu Sultan conquered the fort which belonged to a local ruler and later he used it as a stronghold to fight against the British, but was eventually surrendered in 1791 when Tipu Sultan was defeated. The top offers a panoramic view of the four neighbouring ‘Giris’ or hills and it is a sight to behold. Skandagiri is located less than 60 km from Bengaluru and just 3 km from Chikballapur and is well connected by road and railways. Therefore, it is an ideal year-round trek for first-time trekkers as well as the seasoned ones and can be completed in 5 hours comfortably (2 hours to ascend and 2 hours to descend, with an hour’s break at the summit). #Skandagirihills #Skandagiri #nightrekkking #trek #trekking #chikkaballapura #bangalore #bengaluru #challenging #nature #hills
