Trek to 3 waterfalls – Bandaje arbi, Kadamagundi, Elanneru falls
Two day trek to cover three waterfalls – Bandaje arbi, Kadamagundi, Elanneru falls. First day trek to Bandaje arbi falls and overnight stay at the base. Next day early morning trek to Kdamagundi/Didupe falls and then another trek to Elanneru falls. Very exhausting two day trek since we covered lot of distance.
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.
