Alone Nandi sits on top, overlooking vast swathes of fields, small towns, and hillocks at a distance. He is witness to historical events that have occurred here over centuries. The small mantap where he rests marks the end of the trekking trail at Savandurga, one of the largest monolithic rocks in Asia. Situated about 7 miles from Magadi town, Savandurga has become one of the many trekking hot-spots around Bangalore, testing the rock climbing skills of enthusiasts.

Named Savandurga by ImmadiKempeGauda, this hill fortress was believed to be unconquerable until the British took over in 1791; Lord Cornwallis has written a detailed account about its capture. The hill looks imposing as one drives closer to it and it is easy to understand why it is called the ‘rock of death.’ The Nandi mantap looks like a small square on top and all visible sides of the rock look steep and dangerous; only upon reaching the base does one see the rock’s gentle slopes.
Savandurga has a lot to offer, the base of the temple is surrounded by a forest; with thick bamboo groves and dense shrubs, some part of the forest has now been converted to an herbal plantation and is open for people to explore. The forest has close to 60 species of trees. A lot of these trees are used for local herbal medicines.

Apart from this, there are two temples – Sri SavandiVeerabhadraswamy Temple and Lakshmi Narashima Temple. The former temple is of Dravidian style and situated inside a courtyard; the structure is beautiful and worth a visit. The latter temple, though, is an old temple which has been renovated and painted, thus losing some of its old-world charm.

The initial stretch of the Savandurga trek is on bare rock with small boulders, and it is better if the trek is started just as the day breaks. As one gains height, the Arkavati River surrounded by green trees becomes visible at a distance.
A short while into the trek, one encounters the first of the many remains of the fort walls. This spot is well-suited for enjoying some rest in the shade that the trees here have to offer; the next shaded patch comes along only after a long distance. If you observe birds that hop around, the chances of finding a Blue Rock Thrush, White- browed Bulbul or Rock Agamas are high around this area.

The steepest climb of the trek lies beyond this stop, and takes one to the next fort wall, post which it is a gradual incline. The rock has some depression here and it is quite possible that rain water wall collected here during the good old days. Closer to the top, one come across some trees and dilapidated old structures which are currently used as a place to camp or cook. This is also the place where one is likely to find Oriental Honey Buzzards perched on tree-tops . At the slightest disturbance, they take to the air.
The last leg of the trek breaks the monotony of walking on the rock with the sun blazing down; one now needs to walk under gigantic boulders. Stretches along this leg are strewn with Plumeria, and the air has the whiff of wild-flowers and resonates with bird calls. It is also a spot where one has a chance to sight the Elusive Yellow Throted Bulbul.

The region’s diversity makes it a tourists delight, trekkers favourite and pilgrims sojourn.

The place was originally known as Anebiddasari, translating to the place where the elephant fell in Kannada. The present moniker, Devarayanadurga, was obtained in 1696 after it was captured by ChikkaDevarajaWodeyar, the then ruler of Mysuru. It is also called as Karigiri (Elephant Hill) as it resembles an elephant when viewed from the eastern side.

Enclosed in the thick of forests and perennial hummocks that run all through, the hills are dotted with several temples dedicated to Lord Vishnu, including the famous Lakshmi NarasimhaSwamy Temple. The other two temples here are Yoganarasimha and Bhoganarasimha shrines, depicting the ascetic and familial forms of Lord Vishnu. The Bhoganarasimha Temple is placed at the base of the hill, while Yoganarasimha Temple is located atop the hill, from where one can get a bird’s-eye view of the serene expanse.

What makes Devarayanadurga further intriguing is the number of tourist attractions located close by. While driving down the hill towards Tumakuru, Meandering through the cuts and curves, and lush green wilderness, one comes across a deer park at NamadaChilume, five km away from Devarayanadurga.

DETAILED ITINERARY

Day 0: Overnight Journey and Ice Breakers
This is the day you are going to meet strangers (who will turn friends and even best friends by the end of the trip). We will be assigning pick up locations, ideally the closest to the pickup point you tell us. Once we pick everyone up, we will be distributing a form for you to fill up your details and then proceeding to have an ice breaker session.

Expect some fun activities which will help you get to know your fellow travellers a bit more. After the session, our event guides will brief you about the itinerary for the following day, post which you can get some shut-eye. We recommend you get some rest, especially since you have the Kodachadri trek the next day.

Day 1: Kodachadri Trek via Hidlumane Falls
Once we reach the homestay, we will be allocating rooms while you sip on a hot cup of tea or coffee. We suggest you save the shower for after the trek in the evening and you can just freshen up instead and head for a delicious breakfast. While the Kodachadri trek will be fun, it is primarily a rain trek and it would be great if you can wear comfortable, quick-dry top and bottoms and shoes which offer a good grip. We will be carrying salt and Dettol to help avoid leeches.

Once we start the Kodachadri trek, we will be walking through a dense forest, crossing it and through beautiful paddy fields to reach a small tea shop where you are free to enjoy some chikki or biscuits. Once done, we will begin the climb up the gorgeous Hidlumane Falls which runs in seven cascades. After we reach the top of the falls, proceed for a bath and splash around in the pristine waterfalls and start the trek to the government guest house. We will be stopping here for a simple, but fulfilling, hot lunch, great after the cooling dip and the rain trek.
After lunch, we will start the next leg of the journey to reach the top where you will be greeted by a sight of lush green grasslands as far as the eye can see. If we are lucky and there is no rain, we should be able to see the backwaters and the west coast from the hilltop and even the sunset and pay respects to the ‘Sarvajna Peetha’ of sage Shankaracharya. We will then proceed to reach the guest house and take a jeep trip down to the homestay. Expect a fun, bumpy and memorable ride. We are often told by our travellers that they love this part of the Kodachadri trek.

After we reach the homestay, we will be greeted with hot snacks, tea and coffee. You can proceed for a hot shower and gather around for a campfire if the weather permits. However, don’t worry if there is no campfire because our organisers have plenty of fun games and activities to keep you engaged till dinner and even after if you are up for it.

Day 2: Return Journey to Bangalore
We wake up to a hot breakfast, tea and coffee, a bit of lazing around and exploring the homestay surroundings and proceed to pack. Before starting our journey back to Bangalore, we head to the historical Nagara Fort which is covered entirely in the grass. We will be spending some time at the fort and climbing it. Worry not, the climb is minimal but offers a great view of the town below. The destination is also great for your insta pictures, so bring out those phones and cameras.

After we are done, we will start the journey back to Bangalore with a stop for lunch and tea. We should reach Bangalore by early night and will be dropping you back at your pickup locations.
