At a distance of about 60 km from Bengaluru city lies Channagiri, one of the hills amid the famous Nandi Hills range. The other hills in this range are Nandigiri, Brahmagiri, and few others.

Channagiri has a hill fort which was built around 1770 with a temple inside it.

The trail on this trek, especially after the monsoon, takes you through wild shrubbery and some eucalyptus and tamarind trees, and continues through dense deciduous forests. Towards the end a section of rocks and boulders make the trek challenging at some points but nonetheless a thrilling experience!

On reaching the top you are greeted with a stunning 360-degree view of the plains and hills around.

If you are lucky to witness, you can spot the Peregrine Falcon, the Nilgiri Woodpigeon and the Shaheen Falcon which are believed to be nestled on the route.
