About Skandagiri 
Sunrise Trek, 
Bangalore
Skandagiri, also historically known as Kalwarbetta or Kalavara Durga is a mountain fortress located  
around 70 km from Bangalore. This tiring yet rewarding trek takes you through a spectacular journey  
amidst the wilderness. Starting at 11 pm from Bangalore, reach the base point by midnight and hereby
begin the night trek. The serene and sublime atmosphere around Skandagiri will definitely boost your  
adrenaline. This 8km trek can easily be completed within 4 to 5 hours of ascending and descending.
Tried and tested both by amateurs and professionals, this trek is a must for thrill seekers. The climb gets  
tedious as you reach the Papagni Temple, hereby offering treacherous terrains amongst the dense  
shrubs around. Thereafter the steep slopes may require tricky footwork till the summit. The ruined
remains of Tipu Sultan’s fort and an abandoned fort remain at the top of the hill.
Skandagiri is famous for walking above the clouds, literally! As you reach the top, enjoy the bonfire on  
the starry night. Wake up to experience the morning winds caressing you, as you open your eyes to get  
the most magnanimous sight of the sun rising above a bed of clouds, a sight so rare. The misty valley of  
Skandagiri is bound to leave an everlasting impression in your mind.
