Nidagal Trek
After a long time a trek....!!
This time it was in Pavagada district.
Place is ~200KM from Bangalore 3-4 hours drive.
Road via Dabaspet is in a better shape is what I felt (Took this route while coming back).
But If you live in North Bangalore take the Hyderabad highway and take left towards Pavagada from Penakonda.
It is a Moderately difficult trek. Carry Water and plenty of snacks. Took us 3 hours to reach the top with lot of breaks.
Wear shoes (Mistake I did as I was wearing 80% covered Woodlands sandals, Things can enter inside from the rest 20% uncovered part).
Park your vehicles at bottom of hill and start climbing which looks like a simple climb. (It is NOT)

Here is what it looks like from the bottom.
You can see layer of mountains at a distance when you climb up.
A panorama from the top.
(There are 2 cars in this picture and you can't see them because they are so far away.)
At the Top there is a Nandi Temple.
Joy of reaching top...!!
Special Thanks to Sandesh Mavinakuli Ringing me up for this.
