Hutridurga

Hutridurga, also known as Uttari Betta is a village and also a fortified hill in the south-east of Kunigal taluk.

The hill is 1,142 metres (3,747 ft) above mean sea level that is located 15 km south-east of Kunigal.

From the summit, we get an extensive view of the surrounding landscape dotted by a large number of tanks and hills.

Hutridurga derives its name from Hutri, a village situated about 3 km from the foot of the hill.

Historically, Huthridurga Fort was the military bastion of Tipu Sultan against British, which was conquered by the latter in 1791.
