Madhugiri Fort

Manjunath R 23 months ago

Madhugiri is a single hill and the second largest monolith in entire Asia.
Moderate grade trek, the trek can be done by experienced trekkers. If you are a beginner, prepare well, since the trail is pretty tricky because of the steep slopes in few sections of the trek.

The trek takes you through 3 defence walls or gateways. For every gate you cross, it seems as if what you see ahead is the highest point of the trek but as and how the journey unfolds; the topmost fort is seen only at the end after crossing the third gateway. a very tricky part comes along as you go further, with no rope for any support in a few places and inclination of about 75-80 degrees. If there is a strong wind blowing, it becomes a challenge to traverse this particular section. It will take 3.30 hr complete the trek (Up and Down).max Altitude : 3930ft.

early morning trek also entails the view of a splendid sunrise. If you’re planning to catch the sunrise start the trek at 6am early morning.
Please carry the water and eatables.

Madhugiri Betta trek is for those who love adventure and rock climbing, place offers you lot of challenges with steep climbs.
We started the trek around 7:30 a.m and reached the top around 11:30 a.m the reason for it is the place offers lot of picturesque spots during the trial, and we stopped many places to take the pics, this place is excellent for taking pictures.
At one particular point trek gets adventurous due to absence of railing and sloping trail grooves are etched on the rock to rest the feet. One need lot of courage to cross this point, after crossing this point we came across one old lady climbing up with stick in her hand slowly. Also, we saw children’s as young as 8 years getting down
There is no trekking charges collected, entry is free. Volunteers present at the entrance will take the Aadhar number of one participants and number of participants in the group

If you are a Travel, Trekking and Climbing enthusiast, than this place must should be in your bucket list. The fort is at top of this hill. The journey from the bottom to top of the hill by walking is really a very different, very risky and very terrifying. And the view at any of the point of journey and the top of the hill or fort is mesmerizing.
