Skandagiri

[1] The hill features the ruins of a fort believed to have been built by Tipu Sultan, the ruler of the Kingdom of Mysore.

The Karnataka State Forest and Tourism Department has facilitated the trek and is a favorite destination for many trekkers due to its proximity to Bangalore.

The trail passes through dense forests and rocky terrain, offering a blend of natural beauty and adventure.

At the summit, trekkers are rewarded with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, including Nandi Hills and Muddenahalli.

The hilltop often experiences a sea of clouds, especially during the early morning, creating a spectacular and surreal atmosphere.
