Trekking up this Monolithic Rock is one exhilarating experience. The Trek Route is about 2Kms, and could take more than two hours trek up, and about one hour to trek back to the foot of the hill.There are railing and/or steps for about three-forth of the distance. Just guiding arrows towards the top. There is a 100m stretch just after halfway mark that most people find a little scary. And since the railing is damaged at this stretch, it adds to the excitement. After this point it is just a steep climb. Carry sufficient drinks & snacks. There are government personnel posted at the foot of the hill, who make an entry of the people going up (and will duly mark once you return) advising them to carry water, etc, and to make sure they come back by 4:00pm. But once you start climbing you are on your own.

Awesome place. Reach there by 2.30pm at least. The climbing will test your stamina. But it's worth. Take a lot of water and food with you. Sunset is awesome. Locals reported presence of bears after 7pm. So make sure you leave the place before that.

Nice view from top. but the place is bit dangerous. Pls do check my youtube channel for more..

For all the trekking lovers out there this is a must try. This place is too good for a day trek you have lot many places to explore and at the top you'll enjoy a breath taking view. It's just 90 km from Bangalore.

Good place for trekkers... And difficult to complete the trek and not good hotels around. You should give your name to dept people over there for security. One should return from the trek before 4 PM and report back to dept people.
