Trekking along Savandurga

Savandurga offers some of the most top class trekking routes in the world. There are two prime trekking trails in Savandurga - the Karigudda trail and the Biligudda trail. While you will need a mandatory permit if you wish to climb Karigudda, you don’t require a permit if you wish to climb Biligudda.

Though they are both difficult treks which run up vertically among craggy rock surfaces, Biligudda is the easier trek of the two with its trail marked out well. The Karigudda trail is more of a challenge and is lesser explored of the two.

Biligudda trekking trail

The trail along Biligudda will take you through the ruins of a fort which was built by Kempegowda. You will need to traverse through some bare patches of rough rocks and you will come across places where there will be barely any vegetation to hold on to. The way is simpler to find as directions are painted on the faces of rocks. Book cheap flight tickets to India and come try this exciting trekking trail. There are four checkpoints along the way, at four separate walls of the diminished fort. You will need to scale a fairly difficult steep rock in order to reach the fort tower. Once there, you will be able to enjoy breathtaking views of the surroundings, including stunning views of Bangalore city. If you scale another steep rock from here, you will reach the Nandi Mantapa at the very top of Biligudda.

Karigudda trekking trail

The Karigudda trekking trail is not an easy one to conquer and beginners are advised not to embark on this one. Even some of the most experienced trekkers with adrenalin laced blood find this trail difficult. The sheer climb combined with lesser marked trails can be a challenging concept for many. But it’s not entirely impossible to complete the trail. With good climbing equipment, a lot of physical stamina, and a little bit of patience, the Karigudda trail can prove to be one of the most satisfying ones ever. If you’re a trekking enthusiast always up for challenging new trails, then Karidugga trekking trail is tailor-made for you. Book a cheap USA to India flight and come try conquering one of the most difficult trekking trails in Asia.
