Avellabetta Hill Top, located in Chikballapur, Karnataka, is a hidden gem nestled in the Western Ghats of India. To reach the hill top, there are two ways - either trek for 2.5kms from the entrance or take a car up till the hill top parking and then trek for the rest of the 100 metres. The scenic views of the boulder mountain systems from the hill top are mesmerizing and make it a must-visit destination for nature lovers and adventure enthusiasts alike. There is a temple at the hill top and visitors can climb further up to a water body where locals love to pose for photos on the scenic rock. The entry to Avellabetta Hill Top is free, but visitors may need to pay the security at the gate to enter with a car till the top. It is important to note that there are no eateries nearby, except for some locals selling cucumbers and coconut water. Hence, it is recommended to carry your own food and water. The beginner trek is easy if you are fit, but it is advisable to avoid the trek if you are not used to treks. The trail is quite steep, and in case of any medical emergency, the nearest hospital is at least 45 minutes away. You will also get a chance to witness the diverse fauna and flora during the trek. While visiting Avellabetta Hill Top, it is recommended to avoid approaching monkeys and sloth bears, which are rarely seen but present in the area. Clubbing this plan with a visit to nearby places such as Lepakshi and its temples, Gudibande Lake, and Avalakere Lake is also a great idea. It is best to reach Avellabetta Hill Top by 8:00-9:00 am to have enough time to complete all the activities. Visitors can have lunch at Lepakshi and then continue with all their activities. Overall, Avellabetta Hill Top is a stunning destination to explore for those looking to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse themselves in nature's beauty.

One of the best climbs here! Location and Roads: Outskirts of bangalore (and Karnataka apparently, your sim may put you on roaming). Not too many twists and turns, fairly easy to navigate. You can go by two wheelers or four wheelers, roads are fairly wide. Parking space is available (30 bucks though) The Trek: Clear routes. If you're low on stamina, you can drive halfway up. Else it's about 1.5km upwards. There is a paved roads and a rocky-mud path through a semi forested route, parallel to each other, both leading to the peak. We saw a couple of rare birds too (so rare that idk their names)! Not very vertical, amateur friendly too, although as always, be careful on the rainier days. The summit has a temple, and a lot of monkeys, not aggressive ones though. Just above the temple is where you get your treasure of a view, as if amidst the clouds. The view is also wonderful all along the way, with loads of potential picture spots. If you're into colourful butterflies, you're in for a treat. The Risks: Watch your step on rainy days. The forested area isn't very vertical and there's no "climbing" as such. The railings around the temple area (which is the most vertical this hike gets), have sturdy railings for the acrophobes. No snakes in this season (September-October), some spiders and centi/millipedes though. Other tips: It wasn't too cold (we reached at 8am), we were sweating by the end. Don't wear too many layers. Take water with you, and maybe some snacks, but have it after/near the end of the trek so that you can walk on a light stomach. It's a 45min-1hr trek. Don't have the coffee there - it's not coffee, it's a 5ml cup, it's actually tea. P. S. PLEASE DON'T BE THAT IDIOT WHO THROWS THEIR WRAPPERS AND OTHER WASTE THERE. Enjoy! ^^

Located in Chikkaballapur district is one of the easiest treking destination you can pick. This destination is roughly around 90 kms from Bangalore. You have ample parking area. This is where you start the trek. On the top of the betta (hill) is a temple that houses Lord Narasimha and Godess Lakshmi. You can also drive up the hill if you are carrying items to conduct Pooja at the temple. The climb would be some 40-50 steps. If you really want to trek, park your vehicle in the parking lot and proceed. There's 2 paths for trekking here. While you start your trek on the pathway (road) leading to the top, you can take the steps in a couple of spots else stick to the road if you prefer it comfortable. As you start to ascend, the view starts getting better. Through the path you can see a lot of litter which is very dissapointing. The view from the top is amazing. Note that the temple is not the final destination. There's a Godess Lakshmi temple further up and the view from up here makes it worth that extra effort. You will need to explore around the 2 temples. To the RHS of the Narasimha Swamy temple is a restricted area which would lead you to the popular protruding rock, the photos of which are posted by many folks been here earlier. This is now a restricted area which is completed fenced and is manned by a cop. You can only view that rock from a distance. The temple has a pretty reasonable ambience and is maintained well. The Lakshmi Devi temple is closed mostly. It's just for the view that I suggest you should climb further up. There's a lot of monkeys at the temple premises so you better be careful of the eatables you carry.

Well well well, the main attraction at Avalabetta is closed now - the small lake and rock edge at hill top. Pros: 1. Very easy trekking. 2. You may bring your family specifically elders on this trip. 3. One Hindu Temple is there at top. 4. Most of the terrain, you could go by your vehicle, if you have permit from forest department, otherwise, stairs are there throughout. 5. No entry fee. 6. Just 80 KM from Bengaluru and on the way of Nandi Hills. So you may cover both of them on the same day 7. Water, snacks buyable on the way from the locals. 8. Parking space available for both two and four wheelers. Cons: 1. There is no much to see here, it's like any other small hill stops in Karnataka 2. As I mentioned before, the main lake view point is closed permanently due to some accidental cases. So you miss the elegant photoshoot spot. 3. No quality restaurant available nearby. You need to go the national highway for the that 4. Beware: 1. Beware of monkeys. Don't expose food items. 2. Strictly follow google map route to reach there, otherwise you may end up finding under-construction roads. If you find this review helpful and informative, then hit the like button. 😊

Very nice place worth visiting 📍Avalabetta Top . About it ⬇️ Avalabetta – Avalabetta is 100 Km from Bangalore, the less crowded Avalabetta hilltop is upcoming and the alternate destination compared to the famous Nandi Hills. Less commercialized & an impressive cliff make it worth visiting . ⏱️ Timing 7 am to 5 pm Must visit for early morning views . Route 🚏 best route you can take is to hit Nh7, pass the international airport toll gate, then Chikkaballapura town exit, continue roughly for 20 km on the highway till Paresandra. Take Paresandra exit and come to the service road, after 1.5 Km take left and then continue to follow the village road till the base of the hilltop. Recommended to follow the google maps GPS, we reached without issue by following the instruction’s of maps . ➡️Start as early as possible from Bangalore Carry some snacks and water bottle 💦💦 Carry all vehicle documents and ride/drive safely 24Km from Avalabetta hilltop is Gudibande Fort . . *note please be careful while going to the cliff there is a police officer who doesn’t allows to go there we went in evening with permission . .

The prime attraction of this place is the prohibited hilltop area. Everyone dares to take a picture by standing on that spot. A few things to highlight: >> Parking is free. If you want to enjoy the 2km trekking stretch, you have to park your car near the entrance. Or else you can take your car/bike close to the top-hill area if the security guards allow you but you'll miss the fun! >> The place is holy. There is a temple at the top of the hill. You'll find lots of people are going up removing their shoes and taking the stairs. (That will be a big confusion for first-time visitors) But to visit the prohibited area you have to wear shoes because you'll find human poop💩 in some places! >> The top hill area is not large enough like Nandi Hill. So 30 mins - 1 hour spending time would be enough for you. Finally, I dare you to take a 2km trekking stretch to reach the top! That's the real fun! Don't worry the path is the formation of stairs. But one mystery is there - I won't tell you right now. You'll experience it! All the best!
