Located near Skandagiri in the Chikkaballapur district, this trek is one of the most popular night treks from Bengaluru. Also known as Kalavara Durga, the hill stands at an elevation of about 1,450 meters and offers a perfect mix of adventure, history, and breathtaking sunrise views.
The trail takes you through dense paths, rocky stretches, and mist-covered terrain, leading to the summit where remnants of an ancient fort and temple dedicated to Lord Shiva await.
