Hulukadi Betta owes its appeal to the verdant shrub forests, beautiful lakes surrounding it & the remains of the fort said to built by Chola kings sometime in the 16th century. Though as near as just 70 km away from Bangalore, Hulukadi betta is still a relatively not-so-popular trekking place near the city. There is the mythical story of Lord Narasimha & Lord Veerabhadra fighting to stay on this hill & how Lord Narasimha had to cede & leave to another place now located in Andhra Pradesh after losing the fight. There is a temple dedicated to Lord Veerabhadra on top of the hill to which many pilgrims visit on weekends. You can also see the ruins of fort walls & watch towers built by the Chola kings on the trek trail. The trek trail starts near a lake on the eastern side of the hill & ends at the opposite side making it one of the very few cross treks to do near Bangalore.
