Package Overview

Sakleshpur which is almost a well-kept secret of Karnataka is actually the nearest hill station from Bangalore. Located at a distance of 220 Km from the city, Sakleshpur town falls on the Bangalore Mangalore highway. In this trip, we will explore deeper parts of this hill station tucked away in its coffee estates and spice gardens.
We will go on a trek through the rich meadows of Pandavas hill overlooking higher mountains and serene valleys of Sakleshpur. This 3 layered mountain presents exquisite sceneries on climbing up each level. On the way to the top, we will explore an ancient Shiva temple tucked in the middle of thick vegetation named Bettada Bhairaveshwara, a small forest pond with seasonal waterfalls.
Taking a dip in the chilling waters of Habbi waterfalls formed by the Hemavathi river is another experience to look forward to. The brute force of waterfalls in the months of July/Aug may force us to take a dip in adjacent streams, with the levels of water changing every month.
The highlight of the trip is an evening ride to Devaramane. The freshness of moving fog and chilling breeze will add up to the glory in the monsoons.
The next day, we will visit a star-shaped Manjarabad military fort close to Sakleshpur town. This picturesque 18th-century fort with unique architecture is a must-visit attraction in Sakleshpur town. One can walk to each of the 8 edges of the star to have panoramic views of vast grasslands and misty mountains.
We will then take a pit stop at beautiful backwaters formed by the Hemavathi river originating from the mountains of Sakleshpur, which is a tributary of the Kaveri river. Here one can spot a church that is submerged in the waters (July to Nov), almost appearing like a sinking ship. As the water levels recede in later months, we can actually walk down to the church ruins and touch it.
If you are looking for a relaxing weekend trip to unwind and detox, Sakleshpur is the place for it.

Hike beautiful 3 tired Pandavas mountain (5 Km – easy trek)
Dip Under Habbi waterfalls
Ride to Devaramane Hill Station
Star-shaped Manjarabad fort visit
Beautiful Hemavathi Backwaters with floating Church
