Channarayana Durga Trek from Bangalore

The Channarayana Durga trek is a guided day trip from Bangalore that blends nature, history, and panoramic views. Located in the Tumkur district, this 17th-century hilltop fort stands as a reminder of regional battles once fought between local rulers, the Marathas, and the British. The route takes you through rocky slopes and dry forest patches, gradually opening up to stunning views of the countryside. Pick-up and drop-off are included from Bangalore, offering a hassle-free experience. A guide stays with the group throughout, sharing interesting stories and ensuring a safe, well-paced trek. The trail is moderately challenging, making it suitable for most with basic fitness. Ruins of gateways, stone walls, and watch posts await at the top, adding depth to the scenic climb. The peaceful setting and open landscapes make this trek a refreshing break from the city, ideal for a weekend adventure that’s both memorable and meaningful.
