A Short trip to Mandaragiri

Hey all,

This is for the people living in Bangalore,Tumkur or surrounding area and looking for a short trip to an instagrammable place ;)

Just in case you're not from one of these places, read further and check if the location qualifies for a short trip from your place. ;)

This is a place not known to many people.

Mandaragiri it is!!

Mandaragiri hosts a beautiful Jain temple and a hill.

It is less than 70Kms from Bangalore. Head on the Bangalore-Tumkur road to get there. 
The place is just a 3minute drive away from the main road.

The Jain temple was built in the year of 2011. So, it is not known to many.

I have added the exact coordinates later in the post..

If you are looking for some time in a calm and peaceful place then you can just head to the temple. :)

If you are looking for a short trek, climb the 400 odd steps to get to the hill top. :D

There's also a nearest railway station for those of you wanting to opt for a train ride.

We got to the place only after 10am. However, if you can get to the place early for a sunrise or late during sunset. It will be definitely worth it.

There's a Mantapa, lake and a small temple at the top. See pics below..

The place is kept very clean. Let's not litter around and join our hands in saving the beautiful nature.
