Ethina Bhuja, Pandava Hills – Byrapura trek

Bhairaweshwara temple and Ethina Bhuja in a single frame

This was a one day trip to two temples and two short treks in Byrapura ghats. It included a visit to Bhairaweshwara temple and trek to nearby Ethina Bhuja hill in the first half of the day. Then in the second half we visited another temple – Bettada Byraweshwara temple and nearby hills called Pandav hills (Mekanagadde Betta).

Siddara Betta – bare foot trek

One day get away from Bangalore – Siddara Betta. This was a road trip and a small trek to see one of the hills near Tumkur. This place is known for the small Shiva temple situated in a cave at the top of the hill. Due to this temple we were not supposed to wear shoes, thus making the climb more difficult.
