Mandaragiri Hills ( Perfect getaway from Bangalore ) Mydala lake and Famous Peacock Temple 😍

Looking for a perfect getaway from Bangalore , just 85 kms away - You must add Mandaragiri Hills in your bucket list for sure.
Mandaragiri Betta or Mandargiri Hills is a small hillock in the Tumkur district of Karnataka. This place is gradually gaining popularity due to its uniquely shaped Jain temple. Apart from the Jain temple, Mandaragiri also has a smaller version of the Bahubali statue and offers gorgeous views of sunset from the hill top.
How to reach Mandaragiri ?
Mandaragiri is around 60-65 kilometers from Bangalore and the road conditions are pretty good till the end. The best way to reach there is by car or bike and the drive takes approximately 1.5-2 hours.
Best time to visit Mandaragiri Hills ?
Winter months - November to February We recommend visiting in the late afternoon and sticking around to enjoy the stunning sunset from the hill top.
Things to see at Mandaragiri ?
Jain temple at the base of the hill This Jain temple (also known as the Guru Mandir) at the base of the hill is the main attraction at Mandaragiri and has played a significant role in making this place popular. The temple shaped as a typical peacock feather broom used by Jain saints looks very colourful and is one of its kind. The 81 feet tall temple spread across an area of 2400 sq feet holds the Unique World Record for being the most unique Jain structure. Inside the temple, there is a statue of the Jain saint with the side walls depicting his life in the form of colourful 3D paintings. It is so peaceful inside that you can simply sit there and meditate for a while without any distractions. Mandaragiri hill top The round hillock has oddly 450 well carved steps and is a moderate climb. On top of the hill, there is a group of few other Jain temples.
You can also enjoy panoramic views of the surrounding mountains, the village and Mydala lake from the top of the hill. But nothing beats the view of the sun sliding down behind the mountain painting everything in a glowing orange hue. Stay a little longer after sunset and the place looks even dreamier with the after sunset colours spread across the horizon. Mydala Lake You can reach the shore of Mydala lake by taking right at the base of the hill. I am not sure about the road conditions as we did not go there. Otherwise, you can always check out the stunning views of the lake from Mandaragiri hill top.
Additional Pointers :
The temple at the base of the hill stays open from 6:30am - 10am and then 3:30 pm - 6 pm from Monday to Friday.
On weekends it stays open from 6:30 am to 6pm.
So plan your visit accordingly.
