Balehonnur is a village in Narasimharajapura taluk, of Chikkamagaluru district in the Indian state of Karnataka.

According to Hindu mythology, it is said that Shiva himself came out of the linga in human form as Paramacharya Renukacharya.

But considering the connectivity constraints of Shivamogga and limited trains from Chikkamagaluru, Kadur is the most appropriate boarding point.

As per KSNDMC, in 2022, Balehonnur hobli received an annual rainfall of 2,592 millimetres (102.0 in).
