It was during those hey days in Mysore, that we used to have extensive trekking programmes in the western ghats in Karnataka. Now, Bangalore had put us onto a life-on-fast-track, and we badly wanted to come out of that, hence this venture! Our first target, with the current setup, is to cover places of interest around Bangalore, which are lesser known to the junta. Read on to know more of one such place! Our regular habit of googling led us to know of a place called Huliyurdurga in Kunigal taluk. Actually, we set off there. As usual, we left by around 08:45, and hit Tumkur road. Since it was not a Sunday, there was some heavy traffic near Peenya. After Nelamangala, we took left onto NH48, to reach Kunigal. NH48 is a 2-lane scenic highway that connects Bangalore-Hassan-Mangalore. On the road to Kunigal you will see such hillocks here and there. On the road to Kunigal NH48 (Nelamangala-Kunigal stretch): At Kunigal, we entered the town and took left onto the state higway that goes from Kunigal to Kollegal via Maddur. It is on this road that our destination was - Huliyurdurga. Lake in Kunigal tq. Kunigal-Huliyurdurga stretch Hemagiri Betta and Huliyurdurga Start of the trek With the (mis) guides Nice huh!
