Read moreThis is fantastic place for half day picnic. The nature is so excellent that you will really enjoy if you are a nature enjoyer! By the time we arrived at 4pm the temple was closed. Parking ticket is Rs.50 for cars.
The 4 star is only because the maintenance on the hill top is so bad that the maintenance officials themselves were burning plastic bottles and other stuffs in 2 places on the hill when we visited there. When asked he is saying what should I do with these wastages. Such an irresponsible answer. I don't know what do they do with the parking fees collected ! After visiting two of the view points we decided to go to wash room and it was so ugly that we came back just like that. I was shocked to see the community hall on the top of the hill! How could they construct a community hall like that? Who gave the permission to build one? It seems they had a party there and the place was stinking like anything with a pile of empty plastic bottles and waste food. This was so disgusting. The local officials should take care of this and ban such community hall if they have not indulged in it! We can clearly notice that the nature is getting spoiled here. I strongly oppose this. I have uploaded only those pictures showing the uglyness of mankind, but the hill is too good in...

Thimmappana Betta is all about twin rocks standing firmly on the top of an unexplored hill, is what I can brief in a nut shell. It is difficult to trek till twin rock but you can witness the early morning breathtaking view of the twin rock by a short trek/ride till the top of the hill right opposite to it.
These rocks are beautifully placed in the lap of mother nature in Ramnagar district, at a distance of 60-70 kms from IT-City Bangalore. Best season to visit this place is form October-February as the rocks will be hot and slippery during summer and rainy respectively.
There is a well maintained beautiful temple constructed at the basement of the hill where you can park your vehicles and visit the temple after trekking.
This place is less known hence less crowded. You can go for an early morning travel to breath in fresh air, enjoy greenery and photography to start a weekend peacefully. All that you get here is good view and excellent breeze so do carry food & water and please make sure not to...
