About Mandaragiri Hill Trip with DD Hills Trek:
Mandaragiri Hill, also known as Basadi Betta, is a significant Jain pilgrimage site located near Tumkur in Karnataka. A trip to Mandaragiri Hill offers a blend of spiritual solace and scenic beauty, making it a perfect destination for a day trip. The hill is easily accessible and provides a relatively easy climb, suitable for families and beginners. Embarking on a Mandaragiri trek, visitors are greeted by the Manastambha at the base, a beautifully carved pillar. The highlight of the Mandaragiri Hill trip is the Guru Mandir, an 81-foot-tall structure shaped like a peacock feather, a symbol of Jain asceticism. This unique temple is dedicated to Acharya Shantisagar and is a must-visit on any Mandaragiri Hill trip. As part of the Mandaragiri Hill trip, you can climb approximately 450 steps carved into the rock to reach the summit. The climb is rewarding with panoramic views of the surrounding landscape. At the top, you'll find four ancient Jain temples dating back to the 12th and 14th centuries, dedicated to various Tirthankaras. Exploring these temples is a key part of the Mandaragiri Hill trip, offering a glimpse into the region's rich Jain heritage.
