Several beautiful hills and hillocks await for

The easiest way to reach Uttari Betta is by hiring a taxi or driving yourself from Bangalore. It takes around two hours to reach the base of the hill from Bangalore. If you prefer public transportation, you can take a bus from Bangalore to Doddaballapur and then take another bus or hire a taxi to reach the base of
the hill.
The trek to Uttari Betta is a 5 km trek that takes around two hours to complete. The trail is very well-marked and relatively easy to follow. The trek starts from the base of the hill and takes you through lush green forests, rocky terrain, and steep climbs. The last stretch of the trek
involves climbing a steep rock face to reach the top of the hill.
The trek starts with a small trail leading up to the hill. The trail is surrounded by lush greenery, and the air is filled with the chirping of birds. As you move up the hill, you will come across a small Shiva temple, which is considered to be sacred by the locals. After a short break at the temple, the trek continues towards the top of the hill. The view from the top of the temple is stunning enough to temporarily take your breath away. The journey of the trek finally concludes at the
meadow top of the hill, which is ringed by enormous stones, after passing the temple and have traversed towards a little jungle cave nearby.
The last leg of the trek is slightly steep, but the view from the top is worth the effort. As you reach the top, you will be greeted by a panoramic view of the surrounding hills and valleys. The sunrise from the top of the hill is truly mesmerizing and a sight to behold. The sky changes colors from orange to pink to yellow as the sun rises, casting a beautiful glow over the landscape.
After enjoying the sunrise, you can spend some time exploring the hill and taking in the scenic beauty. There are several viewpoints on the hill, which offer a different perspective of the
surroundings. The descent is relatively easy and takes around an hour to reach the base.
