Hey Hikers!
If you are looking for a short break from the city life of Bengaluru without much straining yourself, then Gudibande Fort is a great option for a day trek. Gudibande is a multi layered fort built in the style of another popular fort – Madhugiri. There are multiple things to explore through the trek like rain water ponds, a temple, ruins of the fort and tunnels build as escape routes. Like most of the hills, view from the top is really worth the climb.
The 112 feet Adiyogi Shiva Statue is a newly constructed holy place located in Chikkaballapur, Karnataka and it was built by the Isha Foundation of Jaggi Vasudev, popularly known as Sadhguru.
This is a place where you can enjoy nature all around you since it’s situated at a place where hills are surrounded by a lot of peace. It is located in a lush, natural setting near the Nandi Hills and is destined to become an important center of inner transformation.
It is India’s second Adiyogi Shiva Statue created by the Isha Foundation in Chikkaballapur after the Coimbatore, Tamil Nadu. It is located 70 km from Bangalore. due to its sacred vibes and breathtaking views, it has become a must-visit place in Karnataka near Bangalore.
