Madhugiri Fort Trekking | Madhugiri betta Scary Trek in Bangalore
Madhugiri Fort or Madhugiri Betta trekking is one of the adventurous trekking in Bangalore, Karnataka.
Madhugiri Betta is the Second Largest Monolith in Asia. Madhugiri fort trekking is little technical and steeper than most of the treks around Bangalore. Initial part of the trek was easy as there are steps to almost half of the way. Later the trek will become steeper. The second part of the trek was really steep and challenging. Iron rods and side pillars are provided for support. At some points the handle bars are damaged and ropes are tied on both ends for support. This part of the trekking will be little scary. We had to walk horizontally across a steeply inclined rock. You should be more careful if there was drizzling on previous day night as there is chance for slippery rocks. The defensive wall of the fort was hiding the last hill to the top of Madhugiri, where the granaries and temples are situated. There were no railings and no steps carved out in the final part of the trek. Walking on steep rocks without support is not that difficult. On top of the madhugiri hill, there are old buildings which are room for the soldiers. There is a temple dedicated to lord Gopalakrishna. Both the temple and the fort stand in a ruined condition today due to the poor maintenance of the area.
Best Time to Visit Madhugiri: October to March
Distance from Bangalore: 100Km
Madhugiri Height : 3930ft (1200m)
One of the best location for trekking around bangalore

Hence, this place was called NamadaChilume, meaning Spring of Tilak. (naama = tilak and chilume' = spring, in Kannada). The water comes out from a small hole throughout the year and never dries up. The water that comes out is considered as sacred water (tirtha). The forest department is preserving the spring as well as fenced the area to protect deer in and around the area
