Kuntibetta Trek

Embark on a Rejuvenating Journey to Kunti Betta: Witness the Breathtaking Sunrise

Escape the beaten path and immerse yourself in the mesmerizing beauty of Kunti Betta. Trek up this hill and be captivated by a sunrise that will invigorate your spirit. While leaving the road behind may seem challenging, we provide you with a simple route to enter the trails. A scenic 130 km drive on the Mysore road toward Mandya, followed by a right turn through fragrant sugarcane plantations, will lead you to the enchanting town of Pandavapura. Legend has it that the Pandavas, mythical heroes of the epic Mahabharata, ended their 14-year exile in this very place, hence the name Pandavapura. As you arrive, the prominent Kunti Betta with its steep rock faces and a striking stone pillar atop the summit will immediately catch your eye. A short drive from Pandavapura brings you to the temple at the base of the hill, where a stair climb marks the beginning of your trek to Kunti Betta.

Kunti Betta offers a trekking experience that is both challenging and captivating. With its fascinating trails, natural shelters on the summit, and close proximity to the scenic Thonnur Lake (where you can even trek down for a refreshing dip), this trek is suitable for both beginners seeking an introduction to serious trekking and seasoned trekkers looking for a relaxed weekend adventure.
