At a height of around 4430 feet, Skandagiri hill is a very popular hiking destination around Bangalore. Also known as Kalavara Durga betta, Skandagiri is located in Chikkaballapura district, around 60 kilometres from Bangalore. The hill is famous because of its stunning views of sunrise.

The hike is 8 kilometres return of Hard grade. Hard because the entire 4 kilometres is steep to the peak and has a few boulders that needs to be climbed. One way (4 kilometres) to the top takes 2 to 3 hours.

This was my second time to the peak. I had hiked this trail for the first time with my friends many years ago when it was not this commercialised and there were no permits required. Now, to hike this trail, one needs to take permission from forest officials and the first batch starts at 4 AM. The second time, I did this hike with Plan the Unplanned trekking agency and the entire trip from Bangalore was organised by them.

The best time to hike this trail is throughout the year but it is best to avoid during rains as the rocks and boulders do become very slippery.
