Nice place but "We" didn't maintain it well. Full of plastic covers, papers, and garbage near the swimming area. You feel bad after seeing it. But it is near the temple so you can visit once. If you want, you can swim. Nobody will ask you over there. Adv: Mini beach You can swim Calm, and feel the beach vibe Dis: Dirty No washroom near by You can find alcohol bottles around you. Thanks! Follow me for more places like this. Happy Journey.

Nice place to chill out. Highly crowded place during weekends. Many people have spoiled the place by leaving plastic and glass bottles. Glass pieces will be found inside and outside the water, so please be careful while swimming. Don't walk in barefoot. There is a temple inside the water in the centre of the lake. Water will be present throughout the year. Best place for sunset view. Depth of this lake is not yet been know. Many people have died who tried to know the depth. This place is well known for its history. Please do avoid leaving plastic, bottles and any waste.

This lake get closed before 5.. so visit atleast one hour before, so u can enjoy playing in lake. Playing in lake is fun. It is not maintained well, all the bottles and glass pieces and rubbish is everywhere. While walking barefoot u need to be careful due to broken glass pieces.

A very calm place , beautiful scenery but it's not well maintained. The locals there make a mess , bottles and packets everywhere. It's safe and better to go in a group as there may be some drunks partying there . The place is great but the people not so much.

Way too crowded, people are cooking half naked sweating and drinking alcohol It’s very ugly to watch the shore become full of garbage and slowly the water is also getting dirtier Yuckkk

Perfect place to spend time with nature and family... you will feel like beach experience

Amazing Hoysala architecture 1000 yr old temple. Very clean, disciplined Purohits and Staff. Known for Rahu, ketu dosa pariharas, and other ailments. Must visit place. Can buy nagmangala butter which is famous. Shipshape river passes near by. Very scenic

Would recommend everyone to visit this place as it is located on the main road and can be given a quick visit. The architecture was beautiful and mesmerizing. The temple is not soo crowded and you can get the darshana without any waiting. We visited the temple at 9 AM and ig the temple opens at 9AM itself. There is space even for car parking and can accomodate upto 10 cars .

Ancient Temple more than 1000 years old.Beautiful stone structure, magnificent stories behind. The person in temple showed the ceiling with rahu,ketu and divine place to sit below the ceiling and pray for all dosha parihara.

This temple is one of a kind architecture glamour of The Hoysala's. The temple barely had any people and has very less crowd. And energy of the god can be felt, and there is also a guide who will walk you through the history and the details of the temple explain the structures with the meaning behind.

Discovered a peaceful escape at Markonahalli Dam, just a couple of hours from Bangalore. Built on the Shimsha River, this historic dam offers calm waters, scenic views, and a cool breeze — perfect for a relaxing day trip. Not too crowded, making it ideal for nature lovers and photographers. Best visited after monsoon. A hidden gem worth visiting!

This dam is an engineering marvel designed by Sir M Vishweshwarayya. Probably it's the only dam in the world built on siphon technology. The main function of this technology is to empty the dam water as quickly as possible in case of heavy rain to prevent flooding of Yediyur Siddalingeshwara temple.

It's a dam, for short time spending, no water activities when we were there. We can just have long walk along dam..

Nice place to visit for a beautiful sunset. Visited on 19th Oct'25

One of the coolest and calmest places near Yediyur. The dam was built by Rajashri Nalvadi KrishnaRaja Wodeyar at the end of the 1930s. Implementation of Automated Systems which is still in working in good condition. Rich History ❤️

A hidden gem for a peaceful escape, Markonahalli Dam is a destination that truly exceeds expectations. Tucked away amidst the serene landscapes of Kunigal, it offers a perfect retreat for anyone looking to unwind and reconnect with nature. My recent visit was an absolute delight, and I left feeling refreshed and rejuvenated. The first thing that strikes you about Markonahalli Dam is its tranquil atmosphere. Unlike some of the more crowded tourist spots, this dam offers a sense of calm and serenity that is hard to find. The vast expanse of the reservoir, reflecting the clear blue sky, is a sight to behold. It's a fantastic spot for a quiet picnic with family or friends, or even a solo trip to simply soak in the peaceful surroundings. The well-maintained garden near the dam adds to the scenic beauty, providing a perfect foreground for some truly stunning photographs. What makes this dam particularly interesting is its historical significance and unique engineering. Built by the visionary Sir M. Visvesvaraya, it’s a testament to his genius, utilizing the remarkable Siphon technology. It's fascinating to learn about the dam's history and how it was constructed. If you're lucky and the water levels are low, you might even be allowed to walk on the dam itself, which provides a unique and memorable experience. The drive to the dam is also a pleasure. The route from Bangalore is scenic and well-maintained, with a pleasant stretch of rural roads that offer a glimpse into the countryside life of Karnataka. It’s an enjoyable journey in itself, making the destination even more rewarding. While it is a relatively simple spot, the charm of Markonahalli Dam lies in its simplicity. It's not a place with a lot of commercial frills, which is part of its appeal. There are a few small stalls outside for snacks and tea, which is more than enough for a short trip. The open-air parking is convenient, and the overall lack of crowds makes it a peaceful and intimate experience. In conclusion, Markonahalli Dam is a must-visit for nature lovers, history enthusiasts, and anyone seeking a break from the hustle and bustle of city life. It's a place where you can enjoy the quiet beauty of a man-made marvel in harmony with its natural surroundings. A day well spent and a memory to cherish!

Huge Dam but for now when we visited the water level was less but still it's a good place to visit. We went there just recently in April 2025. Care takers and people working there are super cool and warm hearted. They just charged us Rs100 to open the gate to explain the whole process of how the dam works. Please go there in the morning or evening because it's blazing hot in the noon. There are vendors selling water and other eatables just before you enter the dam to keep yourself hydrated. Support them ❤️ Overall nice experience and just back of the dam there's the Shimsa river too.

Nice place

A temple where the earthen huge idol of lord Ganesha is kept. The mud of guluru lake is used to construct the idol. Preparation of the idol starts from the Ganesha festival day and the first Pooja will be performed on the Balipadyami day. The idol will be worshipped for one full month by the devotees. It is said maharshi Bhrigu started this tradition.

Believed to be established by Maharshi Bhrigu. A unique feature in this world renowned temple is, every year a Moorthi of Lord Ganesha being made from clay of Guluru Pond. Artisans begin making it on Ganesh Chaturthi day and complete it by Naraka Chaturdashi day (1st day of Deepavali). Pujas are performed for a month from Deepavali to this Moorthi & thereafter immersed in Guluru Pond - Back to the source For those interested plan your visit to this Amazing temple during Deepavali when Prana Pratishte of new Moorthi is performed and poojas are performed for about a month before visarjane is done Today we just have the moola pratishte and pooja which itself was an amazing experience

Gulur is the small village Tumkur district which is famous for the unique way of celebrating of Ganapati festival. This place is nearby to kaidala where you can also find the famous temple, Sri Chennakeshava Temple.

A nice place to visit, shri Ganesha temple is improving celebration wise nice place Tumkur to Guluru 5 km

A very powerful and true temple. This Ganapati is built in between Dussehra and will be ready by Deepawali. It will be open for darshana from deepawali for more than 2 months. A must visit temple nearby Tumkur during the time.

Its a temple of famous Gulur Ganesha..it is opened all the time...but u can see the big idol of ganesha only during Diwali time..It's very near to Tumkur. They have to maintain this temple very hygienicly, which is not happening in that temple. You can also visit kaidala in gulur.

Excellent temple. Well maintained. Divine place. Lord Ganesha.. remover of all obstacles. This temple is just 100 mts from Gulur Circle on Tumkur - Kunigal Road.

This place has both historical and the spiritual significance. The climb is a bit steep but steps are in good shape and the railings really help for support. There is a dress code to be followed, shorts and sleeveless not allowed so carry a spare jacket, fortunately the administration gave us a shawl which was returned after coming back. The statue offers a sense of calm and photography is allowed but selfies and drones are not allowed. Must visit place for history lovers and architecture fanatics.

There is nothing like this place. It’s a historical spiritual temple that makes you forget everything and the statue just grabs your attention. If you are physically fit it will take you around 25 mins to climb the mountain but the view, energy and every step was so worth it. I hope I come here again and again. If you have some one who can’t climb the mountain you can ask for doli at main office. The dharshan is worth it.

We rode from 5 AM, and reached Chandragiri Hill, 150kms from Bangalore, in time to witness the early morning light. An old lady who is the caretaker there, welcomed us with a big smile and a glass of hot tea... it was just what we needed, to prepare us for a small trek, up the rocky hill.😊 Named after Chandragupta Maurya, this hill holds deep historical and religious significance. At the top, centuries-old Jain Basadis like Shantinatha Basadi, Parshwanatha Basadi, and Chandragupta Basadi stand as reminders of a rich past. Inscriptions on the rocky surface mark the oldest evidence of written Marathi. Just across from it, Indragiri Hill rises, home to the towering Gommateshwara (Bahubali) statue, a major Jain pilgrimage site. The morning sun casting its glow over the landscape made the early ride worth it.

We climbed this hill at 7 in the morning and the view, air and spirituality was top notch. It will take you around 10-12 mins to climb the hill and you will be packed with stunning view all along. There are 14 temples and one cave here and it is all very old and spiritual they are well maintained.

Chandragiri Hill in Karnataka, offers a serene escape with its breathtaking views and tranquil surroundings. The ancient temple atop the hill adds a spiritual touch to the experience. The journey to the summit is an adventure itself, with lush greenery and scenic landscapes. However, facilities at the hilltop could be improved. Overall, a worthwhile visit for nature lovers and those seeking a spiritual retreat.

Chandragiri Hills is a highly spiritual place for Digambar Jains, home to **15 ancient Jain temples**. Among them, **Temple No. 13 & 14 are particularly stunning**—don’t miss them! Apart from the temples, there are **two significant sites** that many visitors overlook: 1️⃣ **Acharya Shri Kundkund Swami’s Charan Chinh** – Located on the left side while climbing the hill, marked with a signboard. 2️⃣ **Acharya Shri Bhadrabahu Swami’s Charan Chinh Cave** – A must-visit for those seeking a deeper spiritual connection. This sacred hill is purified by the penance of Digambar Jain monks. **Acharya Shri Bhadrabahu Swami attained Samadhi here**, and this is where **Emperor Chandragupta Maurya took Jain Diksha**. 📍 **Key Details:** - **Total Temples:** 15 - **Total Charan Chinh:** 2 (Acharya Kundkund Swami & Acharya Bhadrabahu Swami) - **Time to climb:** 10-15 mins - **Time for darshan:** 1 to 1.5 hours A must-visit pilgrimage for Jain devotees!

Nice place to visit near Bangalore on the nelamangala route. This is one of the 2 hills in sharavanbelagola the other being vindhyagiri which is walking distance from this one.that has the giant statue ot buddha while this hill top has few ancient temples. Parking can be a hassle as the day progresses and more people start visiting. The view from the top is good and from here you get a good view of the kalyani and vindhyagiri hill which also has couple of ancient temples. Drone photography was prohibited when I went but things could have changed now. There is a guard who monitors people going in and out.

Visited this place 2 months ago, when i visited the vindyagiri hill. This is much easier climb compared to the other hill and has lesser steps which is less steep compared to the climb for the big statue of gomateshwara. On top of this hill there are many jain temples(basadi), it is a very interesting place and some of the basadis are amazing in architecture. There is some information given at the entrance of the basadis and some of the pillars which is interesting. The achievements of a king have been mentioned in a stone tablet, which has been translated and shown. overall this place is also good, it is worth visiting if you ever visit shravanabelagola for the main temple with the big gomateshwara statue.

It is one of the most cleanest places out of all the other historical places.. easy to climb as there are fewer steps, awesome sights from the top

Nuggehalli Lakshmi Narasimha Temple Review A hidden gem of Hoysala architecture, the Lakshmi Narasimha Temple in Nuggehalli is a must-visit for history and heritage lovers. Built in the 13th century, this temple showcases intricate carvings, beautifully sculpted pillars, and a serene atmosphere that reflects its spiritual significance. Unlike many crowded tourist spots, this temple offers peace and quiet—perfect for those seeking a spiritual retreat or an architectural exploration. The craftsmanship on the temple walls is mesmerizing, telling stories from Hindu mythology in stone. Though it's slightly off the main travel routes, it is well worth the detour.

Nuggehalli Shri Hoysala Lakshmi Narasimha Temple 🌟 ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ “A serene Hoysala masterpiece tucked away in Nuggehalli—truly one of Karnataka’s hidden gems. The temple’s three towering sanctums dedicated to Keshava, Lakshmi Narasimha, and Venugopala emerge gracefully from a star-shaped platform, richly carved from soapstone. I was struck by the exquisite relief work: horizontal friezes of elephants, horses, mythical creatures, epic scenes, and divine figures—all beautifully preserved. Inside, the dim sanctum houses original blackstone idols, and the pierced lathe-turned pillars and ornate ceilings create a peaceful, sacred ambiance.

Sri Lakshmi Narasimha Temple is an Ancient Hoysala age pilgrim. Located 14 kms from Bengaluru-Mangalore highway. Very peaceful blessed temple. Please visit.

Hoysala architecture over 1500 years old LaksmiNarasimha temple. Very well preserved and great place to visit.

I visited Chandramouleshwar Mahadev Temple holy place holy temple of Mahadev 🔱. This Temple is of hoysala architecture. There are 3 temples Chandramouleshwar, Veereswar, and Bakeswara. Temple is around 800 to 900 years old.

You can see, feel how rich our culture was and the contributions by our kings. There respect towards the art, religion and culture. Skills of the artist sculptures there attention to minut details. Presenting the history very rich, detailed sequence, calculation while carving Unfortunately most of the sculptures are damaged and are in the situation where it cannot be repaired

Temple is built with ancient hoysala architecture. The sculptures are carved beautifully with precision detailing. Located in arsikere , worth a visit when around hassan. The temple will be open from 6 am to 10 am in the morning and 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm in the evening.

Built in AD 1220. Hindu temple. Small, but very beautiful rock sculptures.

I can say this as most beautiful place which is underrated. The stone carvings says lots of history. Well maintained and clean

Best place feel the stone carving... Great structure.. best scplture.. ancient temple.. bright stone idols.. Mahadev Shiv Temple..

Great temple of hoysala architecture. Must visit for history buffs. I went early in the morning, at 7 am. The gate was open and there was no one inside. The priest was yet to arrive. But the environment was very peaceful and great to explore.

Good temple, nice decorations for deities.

It's a beautiful place peaceful and calm.

This is a good tempal with a good look

Sacred... Pious.... Tranquil... Divine... The APPA of dodderi is none other than dutta.... Loved the serenity... The vibrations are so peaceful and positive

Good devotional place. Good atmosphere.

Must visit place if your nearby CHALLAKERE..

Beautiful fort, can walk easily all over. Must visit Onake Obavva kindi. Best time is to visit in the morning when sun is not too sharp. We visited late September when sky is still cloudy and has fresh cool breeze so you won't feel tired and can walk till the end.

Chitradurga Fort, located in the Chitradurga district of Karnataka, is one of the most remarkable forts in southern India, known for its stunning architecture and strategic design. Built between the 10th and 18th centuries by the Chalukyas and later expanded by the Nayakas, the fort is popularly called Kallina Kote or the “Fort of Stones.” It features seven concentric fortification walls, secret passages, watchtowers, and water reservoirs that demonstrate exceptional engineering skills. The fort gained historical importance during the rule of Madakari Nayaka and is famously associated with the brave Onake Obavva, who defended it single-handedly against Hyder Ali’s soldiers. With its massive boulders, winding paths, and panoramic views, Chitradurga Fort stands as a symbol of valor, resilience, and the architectural genius of ancient Karnataka. The tickets are very affordable. The place is well maintained and clean.

Chitradurga Fort in Karnataka is truly one of the greatest architectural masterpieces of ancient India. The moment you enter, the massive structure and brilliant engineering will definitely surprise you. The fort covers a huge area, so be prepared for a good amount of walking and exploring. Entry requires a ticket, and there are plenty of guides available at the entrance. If you’re interested in knowing the rich history and stories behind the fort, hiring a guide is highly recommended. Since the place gets very hot during noon, carrying a cap and enough water is a must. Also, there are many monkeys inside the fort premises, so keep your belongings safe and be cautious. Overall, Chitradurga Fort is an unforgettable historical experience and a must-visit for history enthusiasts and explorers.

The great King Veera Madakari Nayaka rolled fort. This fort made of full of rocks, very beautiful place for one day trip. Located near NH 04. One brave lady called Onake Obavva lived here, she alonly killed hundreds of Hidarali's soldiers.

Its a beautiful historical place which gives lowkey hampi vibes. Very less travellers visit here, you need a full day to explore the fort and surroundings. Better to take a guide to understand the historical importance of each part of the fort

Very beautiful place, take a guide to know more information about the things which are hidden in plain sight. It's good for cardio. We got a chance to see the monkey king!!

Well maintained fort Too big fort mostly 3-4 direction at rreaching main point. Maim Temple and Gate cam be covered in 1-2 hour, whole fort day be lesser. Parking outside fort and limited to 10 15 cars mostly. Water facilities, Washroom and fort premise is clean.

Ancient temple built on the banks of Tungabhadra river of both Shiva & Vishnu ,there is also a Ganpati carved on the wall which is believed to be growing Worth seeing the architecture of the temple. Well maintained n not crowded most of the days.

Very ancient temple.. Nice architecture.. Harihareshwara idol attractive. Calm place.. Hoover want food Photography.. It's nice place..

One of the oldest temples from 1200. Architecture and designing are amazing as usual. Also a very holy place for locals and surrounding village cities. But other than the temple the surrounding area is normal small town.

Absolutely Dharmik place established 1500 years ago, signifies Harihara unity. No division between Hari & Hara devas. There's a clean river view behind the temple. Must visit place! Mujrai has neglected the temple. Washroom was locked and inaccessible during prime hours of the day. Government needs to protect and maintain 1500 year old monument with respect and emotion.

IT IS A LARGE STRUCTURE IN HOYSALA STYLE OF ARCHITECTURE BUILT IN 1224 AD BY POLALVA, A GENERAL OF THE HOYSALA KING NARASIMHA II. MANY INSCRIPTIONS SPEAK OF THE ENDOWMENTS GIVEN TO THIS TEMPLE BY THẺ PANDYA RULERS OF UCHCHANGI AS WELL AS THE RULERS OF VIJAYANAGARA.

Dear KFD, I appreciate for the fact that now we have a safari vehicle to enter the sanctuary. It is maintained well, but still needs some care. However I also wanted to comment to the fact that the drivers are not so knowledgeable about the flora and fauna other than common species like the black buck, jackal, the spotted dove, etc.. They need to be trained to help the tourists explain about the habitat and other species of animals & birds which thrive in this Sanctuary. During my visit I also saw few school students eager for the safari. A proper guide who can helpful about the habitat will always be helpful. Lastly, I would also appreciate the steps take to chop down the Nilgiris tress for GIB. Hopefully we get the sight the most prominent bird once in the race for being the national bird of India.

Could spot some blackbucks but highly dissappointed by the upkeep. Declared as a Sanctury way back in 1974, one would expect this place to be prestine. But forest department has mindlessly planted eucalyptus trees which were never here. Agricultural fields often intrude the natural habitat of these animal. We saw many trees being felled and uprooted. We also saw tractors, normal public on bike casually roaming inside the Sanctury. The forest official who escorted us had no info regarding the animals. The Sanctury is limited to only 14 sq km even that is not well protected. Sad to see such neglect and carelessness by the forest department.

Wonderful place to unwind and spend some quality time with kids. Before coming to the sanctuary, please ensure that you visited nearby forest office to take permission. One can see a lot of blackbucks around. Beautiful place.

It was closed. Locals told that it was permanently closed. But good forest area and good roads. Ideal for a nice drive through the forest.

Ranebennur Blackbuck Sanctuary (119 km²) was declared as a sanctuary mainly to protect blackbucks and great Indian bustard. It comprises two unconnected portions, an eastern and a western bit. The sanctuary has a core zone of 14.87 km² and a buffer-cum tourism zone of 104.13 km. Traditionally it was mostly a scrub land habitat with grasslands and occasional dry deciduous trees with some scrubs. But today the landscape is dominated by Eucalyptus, an alien species carelessly planted by forest department, as an afforestation effort. These afforestation effort of panting Eucalyptus by Forest Department, has made the habitat unfavorable for grassland species like great Indian bustard. As a resut, the great Indian bustard has not been sighted in the sanctuary since around 2002 and may be locally extinct. Blackbuck are plentiful with a count of more than 6000 in the 2005 census. Agricultural fields surround the sanctuary.

Lovely place.. need to get the forest department‘a permission before taking your vehicle in. Also you will be joined by one official.

“I have visited Madhukeshwara Temple twice, and every time the divine energy and timeless heritage remain constant. Built in the 2nd century by the Kadamba dynasty, it stands as a living symbol of Karnataka’s ancient history.”

Karnataka's pride. A must visit for anyone who wants to go back to roots. It's finest piece of art work and engineering. Beautiful architecture and stone carvings. First capital for Karnataka during ancient days. Many idols have undergone attack but still standing tall. Must visit with your young ones and show them the past history and their architecture skills. Great feeling to touch and see the amount of details on each stone. Great work. I'm no one to judge but it's a great piece of art work.

The temple is located around 800m from the bus stand. People taking buses need to get an auto to reach temple. Inside the region one can experience the rich cultural heritage of Kadamba dynasty. The pillars and moorties are very artistically built in those very ancient years. Great piece of abilities from sculptors. There is daily anna prasada. So people can have lunch. There is a small Balaji temple outside nicely built. If no rains one can visit Varada river bank which is 500m from temple.

Banavasi is a beautiful, quiet town steeped in history and surrounded by lush greenery. Known as the oldest town in Karnataka, it truly feels like walking through a living museum. The centrepiece is the Madhukeshwara Temple, a stunning 9th-century structure dedicated to Lord Shiva. The architecture, intricate carvings, and peaceful atmosphere are breathtaking. The town itself is peaceful, clean, and perfect for a day trip or weekend getaway. The drive to Banavasi is scenic, passing through forests and rivers. Locals are warm and welcoming, and you can find small shops selling local handicrafts and delicious regional snacks. If you're a history lover or someone who enjoys offbeat travel destinations, Banavasi is worth a visit. Don’t miss the Kadambotsava festival if you’re here during the season! Highly recommended for culture, nature, and history enthusiasts.

Ancient temple with lot of art works, but poorly maintained by government undertaking. Even the crowd that comes in is noisy and with zero sensibility, spoils the artefacts. The temple needs a good maintenance to keep up the serenity of temple and history.

Sacred temple and environment. The pillars are true marvel. One of the temples where we find true peace and architecture is restored in true form and not modernised unnecessarily

Best oldest ancient temple in Karnataka built by Kadamba dynasty

Sahasralinga is divine place. Visit during monsoon, be careful while taking dip in the river. Take photos on hanging bridge.

Visiting Sahasralinga in the month of July during the monsoon offers a completely different yet magical experience. Located near Sirsi in Uttara Kannada, this sacred site is known for thousands of Shiva Lingas carved on the rocks in the Shalmala River. During this season, the river flows full and strong, covering most of the stone carvings beneath the water. While the lingas are mostly submerged, the roaring river, lush green surroundings, and misty weather create a mesmerizing and spiritual atmosphere. The sound of gushing water mixed with the gentle rain makes the place feel alive and divine. Although you might not see many carvings clearly, the natural beauty and peacefulness of the monsoon-drenched forest make it a serene getaway. Just be cautious, as the rocks can be slippery and the water flow strong—it's more for enjoying nature and less for sightseeing the lingas during this time. Ideal for: Nature lovers, monsoon travelers, and those seeking a peaceful, offbeat spiritual retreat.

I have visited the Sahasralingeshwara Temple near Sirsi twice, and each time has been a deeply spiritual experience. Nestled on the serene banks of the Shalmala River, this sacred site is truly unique, with thousands of Shiva Lingas carved on the rocks. Built under the patronage of King Sadashivarayavarma (1678–1718), the place beautifully reflects the devotion and craftsmanship of that era. Walking along the riverbed, the sight of countless Shivalingas accompanied by carved Nandis creates an atmosphere of divine energy and timeless heritage. The calm flow of the river adds to the temple’s tranquility, making it not just a religious site but also a peaceful retreat for the soul. Each of my visits here has left me with a sense of awe and spiritual fulfillment, as the energy of the place feels constant and eternal.

Visiting Sahasralinga is not just a journey through nature, but a journey within — a place where faith meets peace, and the heart finds silence in the presence of the divine. Truly, it is one of the best and most soulful devotional places in Karnataka, a must-visit for all Shiva devotees.

Great place to relax and enjoy nature! Really peaceful spot surrounded by trees and a beautiful river view. The stairs take you right down close to the water ane shivalimgas, and the whole vibe is super calming. Perfect for a short walk, some quiet time, or just soaking in the natural beauty. Just a heads-up: try not to visit during the rainy season — the steps can get slippery and the water level rises, which makes it a bit tricky to explore safely.

Lingas r beautiful although we could see only few as river was full of water. Don't forget to visit the hanging bridge. Staff there is helpful. Public toilet available but not very clean esp for females.

A divine and peaceful place surrounded by nature! Sahasralinga is truly a hidden gem near Sirsi. The riverbed is filled with beautifully carved Shiva Lingas and Nandi statues, all set against the serene flow of the Shalmala River. It’s a spiritually uplifting experience to see the natural jalabhisheka as the river flows over the Lingas. Best time to visit is post-monsoon or during winter when the water level is low and you can see most of the carvings clearly. The surroundings are calm and green, perfect for a peaceful getaway or family trip. No entry fee, but it’s important to keep the place clean and respect the sanctity. Highly recommend visiting during Maha Shivaratri for a more vibrant atmosphere!

We set out to visit the Sonde Vadiraja Math, a peaceful and well-known spiritual center tucked away in the greenery of Uttara Kannada. Unfortunately, we reached around 10 AM, only to find out that the math was closed due to renovation. Turns out, it’s only open from 5:30 AM to 8:00 AM and again from 5:00 PM to 8:00 PM during this period. A bit of a bummer, but now we know—and so do you! Definitely call ahead or plan your visit within those hours if you don’t want to miss darshan like we did. That said, the food at Sonde Math was surprisingly good—simple, tasty, and felt just right after a long morning drive. So the visit wasn’t a total miss! To turn the day around, we headed to Tapovana, and wow, this place made up for everything. It involves a 1 km hike through a jungle trail, which is absolutely beautiful. The path winds through thick greenery, birds chirping, and fresh air all around—exactly the kind of walk your soul needs. And then comes the best part—the water at Tapovana was ice cold, and stepping into it after the hike was pure bliss. All the tiredness from walking just vanished. It felt like nature’s own spa treatment. 😌 If you’re visiting Sonde, definitely add Tapovana to your list. Go for the peace, stay for the hike, and soak in the water—you won’t regret it.

One of the sacred Madhwa Sidhanta temples. The place reverberates with positive energy and vibes which gives a warm feeling of Sri Vadiraja Guru omni present at the place. Excellent arrangement for stay and food with zero commercialisation makes this place so much more pious and blessed

One of the oldest and blessed place. Nice atmosphere with nature friendly. For meditation it's the best place. Car parking is there. Do recommend others.

It's being renovated now ..once completed will be a good visit

This was my 1st visit to the Sode Vadiraja Matha and Bhoitharaja Sannidhi. Whole temple complex is huge and requires lots of climbing up and down and long walks. The place is divine, serene , peaceful and feels positive. Shree Matha is getting beautifully renovated and once complete the whole campus will looks much more aesthetically pleasing. Do roll the coconut at Bhootharaja sannidhi. It is powerful. They serve free tea and coffee in the specified hours. Stay is available and 3 times free meal is provided for the ones who stays.

This place in midst of nature is divine and nice getaway is a must when one travels to sirsi. You will find stay here peaceful and prasadam has amazing taste. Prasadam usually around 11.30am-1:30pm 7-7:30pm Lot of parking space and affordable rooms. Buses to this area also available This spiritual place has great power and people say it has potential to fulfil all devotees wishes.

Construction work is currently underway. May take another 1.5 yrs before completion. Requesting families visiting Sodha to make good amount of contribution for temple construction. No mobile network (just sharing as info) though it is nice to spend a day without mobile network at this location.

“Agadi Thota” was conceptualised in the year of 2000 with a theme we grow, we offer, we process our produce. In the year 2017, as a value addition and to generate additional income to make agriculture more self sustainable, we started to offer a special authentic North Karnataka’s ethnic food which is a geographical indicator of this region. The whole day we keep serving various items in unlimited quantities, starting from Fruit juice as a welcome drink, different variety of seasonal naturally grown and ripened fruit cuts, Millet based breakfast with natural Lemon Tea, Ragi Malt, Tamarind chigali, Sugarcane Juice, North Karnataka cuisine Lunch, Butter milk, pan, evening Masala Girmit with Sev, Mirchi to end with Tea/coffee. Agadi Thota's main objective is to offer a whole day package of ethnic North Karnataka Unlimited food. Along with that, to educate people about our culture and tradition, we also have Village life style self experience as a complimentary to the guests. Promoting our north Karnataka food is our intention hence we do not allow any outside food as we keep serving unlimited quantities of different items throughout the day. Food is our service is mandatory, rest of the experiences are just complementary.

It was one of the best experiences to spend quality time with my family, surrounded by nature and enjoying traditional food. I especially loved the mud kitchen items prepared in the old style from our UK side — I’m a big fan! The food was completely tasty, healthy, and reminded us of our roots. The entrance games were on another level, and I had so much fun playing with my little and younger brother. It created beautiful memories for all of us. I sincerely request Agadi Thota to make mud kitchen items available either online or offline, so more people can use them, as they are really good for health. Nowadays, in Dharwad city, I only come across matka water, but not such authentic items. I am truly thankful to Agadi Thota and everyone behind it for keeping us healthy and for teaching the importance of our old lifestyle. 🙏

Agadi Thota is a perfect destination to enjoy the real rural beauty and culture of North Karnataka. The farm is well maintained, calm and quiet in lush green surroundings. The activities provided are enjoyable for all age groups. From bullock cart ride, pottery making, boating, rain dance and many others. But mind you they only provide the structure you have to do everything yourself. But the best part is the food of North Karnataka served during entire day..it’s simply awesome..fresh, tasty ,homely and unlimited also.. The staff is very warm and makes sure that whoever comes there have a great time. The concept of organic farming and showing people how to do such type of farming in a very sustainable manner is really appreciated. It’s not about visiting, it can be called as an complete cultural exposure. I would say family outing, school outing or if you are just bored from the life going around. If you are anywhere near Karnataka u must visit this place!

A wonderful place to visit with family and kids — offering an authentic village experience that brings rural life alive! From bullock cart rides, tanga rides, to various traditional games and activities, it’s a great way for children to see and enjoy what they’ve only heard about! The highlight was the traditional North Karnataka meal served for lunch — simple, authentic, and absolutely delicious!

Good, very desi food, worth for money. Different folklore experience. Beautiful nature. However, Breakfast is not that great. Lunch, welcome drink, fruits, sugar cane juce, snacks were fantastic. For people who are like from Bangalore and other big cities. Find this place an awesome one interms of cost and experience

Really one day enjoyment super 😄 rain dance enjoyment 🎵😁 food dish everything is ok 😊

An elegant waterfall. You get to see it from three to four different viewpoints. The water falls down with quite a force and flows through a lovely green valley. The trek is doable by any age group.

I recently visited Magod Waterfalls, and it was an absolutely breathtaking experience. Surrounded by dense forest and greenery, this waterfall is one of the best natural attractions near Dandeli. The view is truly mesmerizing, especially in the rainy season when the water gushes down with full force, creating mist and fog all around. The atmosphere feels cool, fresh, and magical, making it a perfect spot for nature lovers and photographers. You can capture some really amazing pictures here, as the fog and greenery create a picture-perfect frame from almost every angle. One of the things I really liked about this place is the convenience of reaching it. The road is good, and there is plenty of space for car parking, so visitors don’t have to worry about their vehicles. Even if you are traveling in a large group, parking is not a problem. The viewing points are safe and offer a clear panoramic sight of the falls and surrounding valleys. Magod Waterfalls is not just about the waterfall itself, but also the serene environment that makes you want to sit and enjoy the natural beauty for hours. If you are in or around Dandeli or Yellapur, this is a must-visit destination. Highly recommended during the monsoon season for the best experience.

It is a sight to behold in the monsoons with its deafening roar and sheer volumes of water. It starts somewhere deep in the forests of the Western Ghats in the Sahyadris of Uttara Kannada, Karnataka. It plunges 200 meters in two steps along with 2 scenic bends that form for a spectacle especially when it is gushing with lots of water. I am talking about the Bedti river and its famous 200 m fall that we know as Magod Falls. This magnificent waterfall can be viewed from a series of view points, which is more like a hike by a ridge in the middle of dense forest. Set with multiple view points, the visitor can admire the view of this surreal waterfall from different perspectives along the short hike. While one viewpoint treats you to the view of the full Magod bend, the others treat you to sensational views of the waterfall and the entire forest landscape. The heavy gust of wind that blows straight at you through the valley is an added thrill..... Magod Falls is a top monsoon holiday destination and its beauty is unparalleled when the copious flow of water is muddy, the mist moves in and out, the landscape is lush green and the trail that you walk on is teeming with wild activity. It also offers great photographic opportunities right after the rains. If you love waterfall holidays, monsoon holidays or if you are headed towards the Uttara Kannada region of Karnataka, you should definitely visit this gorgeous waterfall..... I totally recommend it!

If you visit these falls, then at the same 10km distance, another falls is present, where you have to trek downhill, it will be fun!!

Due to the fog, we couldn’t enjoy the complete view of the falls, but it is still one of the best waterfalls with a truly breathtaking sight

An mind blowing place to visit with couples and family.. This place has a kacha road..so pls while travelling do take care

Super and wonderful place.eye feast for nature lover's.

Nice peaceful place with vehicles noise. Entry fee 20 rupees, nice greenery place. Near to old bus stand can come by walk. We can also bring kids they will enjoy. Here there is a tog train which covers the full park which is not in the entry fee ticket we need to buy a separate 30 rupees ticket to access the train. Local people come for walking in the morning and evening.

Flower show (Fala pushpa pradarshan and siridhanya ) festival is going on for today and tomorrow. Entry fees is 20rs . They have arranged a very good exhibition of various flowers, fruits, superfoods, plants. You can explore different types of grains. Also the statues made of ragi, jowar etc. They have also carved fruits and vegetables. Aquarium is also exhibited over here . Also fishes and the aquarium set is available for sale They have also kept plants for sale at very reasonable price. I got plants and compost from here at cheap rates. You can get fertilizers at just 10rs per kg and plants starting from 50rs. Note: Don’t forget to get your own bags if you are a plant lover. They do provide you bag for 10rs additional charges. Overall good experience. You can enjoy snacks as well, girmit and mirchi bajji.

Best place to spend quality time with family and friends... Should improve the maintenance of washrooms apart from that environment is very well

Spacious Park with Lush green, But Poor maintenance, You can come and spent some good time with your family and friends

Indira Gandhi Glass House located at Hubli near old bus stand. Peoples are coming in the morning for exercise and Yoga. Garden are decorated with different plants and trees. It is Best place for relaxation with children and families. Well maintained Garden, Clean and proper maintained. Parking facilities are available. A Beautiful Structure of grilled and glass. Nice design..

Nice place for relaxing. The morning is too good when compared with evening. The place is very green and neat. It is a big area which offer picnic spots, skating ground, parks... etc. There is a mini train service. Toilet facilities are also available. The ticket rate is very cheap and perfect place for family.

The Indhira Gandhi Glass House in Hubli is a stunning architectural gem, known for its unique design and beautiful surroundings. However, it suffers from a lack of maintenance, which detracts from its potential as a top attraction. With proper care, it could be a vibrant gathering spot for locals and tourists alike.

Today we went there did body and leg massage in massage chair s.Lot of shops but no rush.Parking is there.A super market is in the basement.i did shopping in pantaloons.This mall is on main airport road.

I visited this place last friday. When i entered inside mall light gone so due to this i used stairs. Stairs was smelling. I visited here with my baby so i gone to washroom but there was no diaper changing place there also washroom was very dirty it was water all around washroom.. i even couldn't used it. Ac was not on so it was feeling suffocated so within 15 mints i just returned. I wouldn't recommend to visit thos place.

Urban Oasis Mall is a solid, all-in-one spot on Gokul Road—easy to reach, with plenty of shopping, a multiplex, and a straightforward food court. It’s clean, reasonably well maintained, and works well for a few hours of retail therapy or a movie + meal plan.  What I liked • Convenient location & parking: Just off Gokul/Airport Road with on-site parking, so getting in and out is simple even on weekends.  • Brands & basics covered: You’ll find national labels (e.g., Titan World, Reliance/Pantaloons-type anchors) alongside everyday essentials.  • Movies at Cinepolis: Comfortable screens and current releases make it easy to turn a shopping trip into a full evening.  • Food court for quick bites: Familiar chains (KFC, Domino’s, Pizza Hut) and Indian counters—handy if you’re with family.  Good to know • Peak-time crowds: Weekends/holidays can be busy; shows and popular eateries fill up fast. (Plan showtimes and arrive a little early.)  • Overall upkeep is decent, though some reviewers wish for a livelier food court and sprucer common areas.  Verdict: A dependable, family-friendly mall for shopping, a movie, and casual dining in Hubballi. Not a “destination” like metro city malls, but very practical and convenient for the city. Rating: 4/5.

I recently visited Urban Oasis Mall in Hubli, and while it offers a few amenities, the overall experience was underwhelming. The mall houses some well-known brands like Pantaloons, Reliance Trends, and Woodland, but many stores appeared closed or sparsely stocked. The food court features outlets such as KFC and Domino's, yet the token-based system is cumbersome, and service can be slow . Entertainment options include a Cinepolis multiplex and a gaming zone. However, the cinema has been criticized for issues like sound quality and screen maintenance . The gaming area is modest and may not appeal to all age groups. Cleanliness and maintenance are areas of concern. Visitors have reported poorly maintained washrooms and a persistent odor in the parking area . Security staff have also been noted for unhelpful behavior in some instances. In summary, Urban Oasis Mall serves as a basic spot to pass time in Hubli but falls short of expectations for a comprehensive shopping or leisure experience.

It's okay. Only decent place in hubli to watch movies.. pvr is there.. They have bowling also. Food court in-house is very bad. Stalls inside is not good. maintenance can be better!

Is a decent weekend destination —A visit on a Saturday, and it wasn’t overly crowded, which made browsing easy. That said, it could definitely do with better housekeeping — some areas felt a bit neglected — and adding more anchor tenants would elevate the overall shopping experience.

The Mall is very good and well maintained, but mindset of people who live in the city is not as developed as metro city people. Due to which the footfalls in the mall is very low which have led a lot shops to close. In my recent visit a lot of shops of the food court were closed. Barely any apparel shops were open.

Good place, entry fee 40/-,bike and car parking charges.one canteen available.from gate you want walk around 800mtr.

Nice view point Good place for morning walk Many birds and trees Peaceful

One of the best places in Hubli for evening walks and watching the sunset! The atmosphere is peaceful, and the views during golden hour are simply beautiful. A perfect spot to relax and unwind after a long day.

Nrupatunga Betta, situated in the vibrant city of Hubli in Karnataka, is a popular hillock that attracts both locals and tourists alike. This picturesque spot is not only known for its natural beauty but also holds significant historical and cultural importance. I go for morning walk whenever I visit hubli. For morning walkers it's free of cost and after 9 it's 30 rs TKT.

Good place to spend some decent time with family. There is a place for kids to play also to excercise there are few equipments have been kept. Seperate section for girls and boys. There is a electrical vehicle facility available at just 20/- per person including up and down. There is a canteen with limited items. Taste wise it's good.

Why can't they keep UPI payment for entry? Didn't enter since they were taking cash only. #DigitalIndia

Nice place to visit with family. However, the weeds and bushes need to be cleared for a better view from the hill

Unkal Lake Hubli: Perfect for Picnics & Peaceful Walks! Unkal Lake is a popular and well-maintained spot in Hubli, ideal for picnics, walks, and quality family time. The lake is large, complemented by a clean garden, playground, and walking pavements right at the entrance. Entry is a nominal ₹10 per person, and car parking is conveniently available in front. While the lake itself is well-maintained with regular de-weeding and attractive new fountains with lights, it's disheartening to see visitors still scattering garbage and plastic, despite efforts to keep it litter-free. A great place to relax, if visitors contribute to its cleanliness.

A great place to spend time with family and friends! The Unkal Lake and garder is the place where you can find real peace and happiness. The place is totally covered with greenery and we can see many view points there so that we can enjoy the lake view from there and can feel the atmosphere. The lake and garden is really wonderful but I suggest to maintain the Unkal Lake more as the water seems to be polluted, and also request each and everyone (including me) to maintain the place and follow the rules so that the lake and garden look better and it's our own responsibility to maintain our area and surroundings clean including public parks, gardens and more. My overall experience was pretty good and I really enjoyed a lot. Most recommended garden to visit for the one who are new to Hubballi, and i recommend those too who haven't visited this place. There are even many more kids playable area so that kids can enjoy and have fun. Best walking trails are available for morning and evening walks and you'll really enjoy it. Huge Parking facility is also available vehicle parking. The ticket is Rs.10 per person and Rs.5 for vehicle (the day I visited). * Online Payment Option is not available. ** No entry ticket and vehicle parking ticket were provided by the ticket counter agent, who was unresponsive.* Overall my experience for this visit was worth watching and I really enjoyed here! Check out my clicks for more!

Superb ambience for spending the Mornings and evenings. Beautiful lake with a lot of resting space😍

A beautiful place to sit in peace and enjoy the calmness of lake. So many benches are available for people to sit and relax as well. Evening are great on weekdays.

Beautiful lake with wonderful surroundings. It’s so clean. Ample parking space for vehicles.

Great place for walkers and jogger’s . We could only make 1/4th round of the entire lake . According to the security of the lake the entire periphery of the lake is about 6.5 kms . The lake closes at 07:00 pm . If you are planning to cover the entire round then have ample time before you take the full circle. The lake is just next to Hotel naveen . The pavement have been well laid . There are lights out along the track so that the move may be smooth . There is a sun set view point at the enterance at a heightened location . There is an eatery/restaurant at the entrance where you can grab snack before you set out for walking . Entrance fee is 10/- and parking fee is also 10/- . If you are in Hubballi and not sure where to go in the evening then this is a good place to explore .

I am a resident of Jaipur and have been visiting lake for long walks ever since childhood. I have seen people from all walks of life come to lake for morning and evening walks. I like to walk the talk here with friends and family. The environment of the lake is very conducive for deep introspection. Watching the sunrise or sunset gives me an exhilarating experience and makes me feel one with God and Nature. Of late you can see the water shimmering like silver if you go around 5:30 or 6:00 pm and makes the whole area look so calm and serene and beautiful. At the other end of the lake there is now a Buddha Park with a very beautiful calm and serene statue of Lord Buddha in sitting pose. At the entrance you will find the lake club, restaurant, lots of vendors selling eatables, and a big play zone for kids where you can enjoy with kids. Also, there are ducks in the lake which you can feed or go for a boat ride. There are plenty of things to do here. It has become an activity centre for people. All in all an enjoyable experience.

Beautiful and peaceful place for anyone with spiritual interest. The place is Well maintained near and clean atmosphere, good behaviour of staff and priests. The overall atmosphere is calm & devotional, making it a perfect spot to spend time in prayer and peace.

One of the best places to visit in Hubballi - Dharwad for peace and spirituality. I visited ISKCON Sri Krishna Balarama Temple alone on a Wednesday. It is located in a calm area, surrounded by greenery. The temple premises are very clean and nicely maintained. Beautiful carvings and nice decoration around the temple add to the devotional feel. The evening aarti was well organized. Bhajans were sung with full devotion, and the environment felt very peaceful. The volunteers at the temple were very polite and explained things patiently. It was a very good experience to spend some time alone in such a calm and spiritual atmosphere. Definitely worth a visit for peace of mind and positive vibes. #iskconsrikrishnabalaramatemple #nammahubballidharwad

Temple itself is beautiful and peace, Hare Ram, Hare krishna, Weekend visit. Hubli Dharwad highway left side temple located.. reach to reach visit with family and friends Morning to up to 1 PM open Afternoon 4:30 PM reopen Beside cafe available for coffee and snacks

It's peaceful place to visit ,calm amd neat environment and It's very convent to cross the road .But it will take time to catch the chigari buses if you visit in afternoon. Due to less no of people visit during that time buses won't stop for a longer time .10AM is the best time to visit

It is a very beautiful place. I had the good fortune to visit here. Hare Krishna, 🙏🥰

I went to ISKON on krishna janmashtmi the temple was decorated with flowers lights all over and the energy there was so divine. The temple is under construction and is constructing huge. To get there:- Take a chigri bus or a local bus to iskon rayapur

Sadhanakere is a best place to visit when u r in Dharwad. You will love the place. But tank is very badly maintained. lot of bottles and plastics in it. Public should not throw thrash in this tank. Government authorities should take a serious action against visiters who does not keep public places cleen and tidy.

Good park to spend time with childrens,boating,gym,childrens game,good nature,entry fee 10rs.Timings morning 10am to 6pm.

Good place for walk and jog,, you can bring kids play area is in good condition. Picnic spot. But make sure you should not litter the place. As its a beautiful garden.

The park is beautifully done .But it lacks attention in its maintenance.(Toilet photos attached) It is sad to see basic lack of civic sense in people using it,the park is littered with plastic bottles , alcohol bottles and food packets .The authorities need to look into creating awareness on the upkeep and maintenance of the same . Also no park timings are mentioned on either gates(pictures attached ) ,a security employee assumes you know the timings ,falsely claims there are boards put up mentioning the same ,and in a very rude manner .It's a shame for the city to have provided such a great facility but it loses its beauty to certain factors as mentioned above.

Area is great but maintenance is poor. Even after taking money for entry, the lake and the the walking area is strewn with stinking plastic waste. Plastic/picnic/food should be banned inside the park premises and public bags should be checked or bag storage area to be provided to prevent this menace.

A good place in this locality, pleasant to relax during evening time. I visited this on Saturday and there was no much crowd. A lot to improve in terms of hygiene and cleaning the premises. But i do love to walk in this area, it's calm and peaceful. Please see attached images for more information and details. Pictures taken on 26/02/2022

Place is really peaceful, very beautiful.. Good for couples as well as family... More privacy for couples.. Reason for 3 * is.... Lake is fully spoilt... Toilets are not at all maintained well.... And no water at all in toilets..but Easy to reach from dharwad... Good number of buses are its positive
