The information on trail

We can start with a 2 km stretch from the railway station to the temple. This will warm up your body to start with the real trek. The trails are well marked till the top of the mountain. As we ascend, we will come across some tricky zone where the only path to summit is through rocks and boulders. Make sure not to slip here. We can witness Gundamagere lake along the walk. We can relax, have some water and snacks at this point. We will then step forward through the rocky stretches for 20 min to reach the top. As we reach, we will witness remnants of fort and temple. We can reflect upon the history of this place to get the know it even better. We can take rest and reflect upon the whole journey. We will follow the same route to descend from the mountain.
