Narayanagiri hills. 75km from Bangalore. A beautiful place!!

Work life was getting too much stressful and I really needed a break from everything. That's when i came accross a few photos of this place in instagram and I  decided I had to go here. I stay in Akshaya Nagar, Bangalore and Narayangiri hills was just 75km from my place. Me and one of my friend started from here at 5am and reached there by 7am. In Google map it's given as 'Narayangiri trek start point'. That exact location is where the tar road ends and the mud road starts which is 1km of off roading towards the top. You can either keep your vehicle down and start walking from this point or you can take your vehicle to the top as well. At 1st after seeing the mud road I was not sure if I could take my bike up the hill but then I just did. Later on there were many other cars and bikes which came till the top. The mud road is a bit slippery due to rain but it's rideable. It was a great experience for me doing a bit of off-roading.  There is no entry charge or timing. It is open throughout the day. Once you reach the end of the road almost 3/4th of the hills is covered, rest 1/4th is a huge rock with steps that you have to climb to reach the top. It took me less than half an hour to conquer those stairs. It's safe for girls as well but I would always suggest to carry a pepper spray when ever you go on treks. Precaution is better than cure is what they say right, even I carry a foldable knife and a pepper spray when ever I go on early morning treks. Now the best part, the View! The view was really beautiful, so peaceful and relaxing. There is also a temple at the top where you can go pray. This is where I started my 1st YouTube vlog and you guys can check it out if you're interested. All together it was a really good trek. Spent just 400rs on the petrol and 300rs on lunch while coming back. Totally worth it. A really beautiful weekend getaway I would say! On the way down the hill I got a local person who told me these mud roads would be made to tar road soon. Do check out the place. I would suggest you guys start from home in such a way that you reach the place by 6am. Please do not litter. If have carried some food item with you, do not throw the plastic cover/wrapper over there. Please put it back in your back and throw it at home. Keep the place clean. Happy and a safe trekking everyone :)
