An awesome 1 day trek and beautiful scenery which is about 60 kms from central Bangalore. There is a Temple that you can visit or else, you can go trekking. Trekking needs to be registered by booking online. Sometimes if you are lucky, you can get entry by paying the guards and guides at the entrance of the trekking. It's better to reach the place as early as possible. Start your trek at 5:30 or 6 so that you can finish most of the climbing region before sunrise. It has amazing views and caves. There are 2 caves that the guides will take you to. One is a cave with long distance trek. Say 200 mts. The other one is difficult where you may have to loose your bags as you will have to crawl and remove your footwear as the ground has water flowing. The place has nice views for photographs and video shooting. You get food at the beginning of the trek, at the entrance of the temple gate. The place has a huge crowd of monkeys so, beware of your belongings getting stolen. If you visit the temple there is a person to take care of your footwear from monkeys stealing them. You have enough parking space for both 2 and 4 wheelers so, you don't have to worry about parking. Food is available at the top of the trek with some cucumbers and tender coconut. If you wish to have food before the trek, there are multiple small shops that will help you with good food. Overall it's a best one day visiting place near Bangalore.
Good place for trekking, need to start early morning otherwise very difficult to climb up Lot of monkeys in the temple premises so better to avoid any kind of food covers

The starting point of the Antharagange trek is well-maintained, but be cautious of the monkeys in the area that may attempt to grab your food. At the beginning of the trek, you might encounter beggars. They charge a reasonable 20 bucks for bike parking. As you ascend the steps, you'll arrive at a Shiva Linga temple, which holds a divine atmosphere. Despite the initial inconveniences, it's an excellent place to visit, especially if you appreciate the spiritual ambiance. Antharagange cave and water used to be a free trekking spot but now requires registration on the government portal, along with a fee of 303 rupees per person. The trek starts off moderately challenging and gradually ascends, making it relatively easier compared to Savandurga. Wearing proper shoes and carrying enough water is essential. While prices at the top might be a bit higher, it's not as expensive as other places. A local guide will take you through two caves. The first cave involves a simple climb, but the second requires crawling through tight spaces, which may not be suitable for claustrophobic individuals. Afterward, there's a rock that you can climb for great photo opportunities, although it can be slightly risky. Be cautious, as the area is filled with rocks, and accidents can lead to serious injuries. The descent is much easier than the ascent. The guide may ask for a tip, though he's already being paid, so a nominal fee is sufficient. Overall, it's a great place for a day trip, with well-maintained routes leading to the area.
Great place to visit if you want to try out some caves and check your flexibility it's interesting up in caves. Tickets- you have to book the tickets in the Karnataka eco tourism website else you are not allowed. They are very strict up there. It costs around 490 per head, which seems over priced for this trek. Food - There are no good food places nearby, you go far, though there are snacks that you can munch after the trek. Timings- I visited on the weekend and there wasn't any time limit to enter, but suggestions would be to visit before 11:30PM. This place has a lot of monkeys, so be careful.
Moderate hiking around 2km (Total 4km up and down) and 3-4hrs of time. They charge you 250/person for hiking. And best time to travel would be in winter season ig because in summer you'll be exhausted.
Nice place to visit for a nature oriented holy place. Need to climb close to 100 steps. May be tough for old people. Please be aware of monkeys. Do not carry any bags with you.
Old beautiful temple. Well maintained and clean. There are too many monkeys here. Just be aware of them. They snatch anything in your hands. Make sure all things are inside a bag or something. There is a person outside temple to look after your shoes
Unlike others treks nearby bangalore, this one gives you a unique chance to experience the caves. Though, the cave part is not soo long but the views around it make up for the rest.
It was a great adventure. Before trekking we need to book tickets online from Karnataka eco tourism site. And we can start the trekking with the help of a guide who will be instructing from the starting point and then after 2km of trekking there is a
Best temple on hill and a water falls near by the pond. Very divine place. Really liked it although too many monkeys are there and you need to take care of your belongings while walking on the steps. The temple and it's surroundings are worth visitin
