Skandagiri, also known as Kalavara Durga, is an ancient mountain
fortress located approximately 70 km from Bangalore city.The peak is at an altitude of about 1350 meters.
This is a moderately difficult trek as the hill is precipitous and high. The trek starts from the Papagni Temple at the foot of the hill. The fortress is in full sight throughout the trek uphill. This steep and fantastic trek through a maze of dense shrub is highly intriguing. Skandagiri is a teaser. Just as you reach the fort wall content that you have topped the hill, you see another ring of fort. There are six such series of stonewalls protecting an abandoned ancient temple on the hilltop. The trek is approximately 8 km and takes around 1.5 – 3 hours to climb.
Don't forget to carry your camera to take breathtaking pictures of 360 degree view of surroundings. You can also see Nandi Hills from here.
