About Bananthimari Betta Sunrise Trek:
Bananthimari Betta, or Karadi Betta, is a beautiful hill near Bangalore in the town of Kanakapura. Excellent green environments make up the surroundings of this location, which are not only green but highly bio-diverse as well, with many different species of animals, birds, and plants to explore and observe. Bananthimari Betta trek is a part of the lush Bananthimari Reserve Forest, 60 kilometres off Bangalore, near Kanakpura. In Kannada, Bananthi means ‘she, who is just borne with a child’ and Mari means ‘goddess.’ Women and families who are unable to bear children, come to the Bananthimari Temple which is located at the base of the hillock. To the locals, these twin hillocks are better known as Karadi Betta (Karadi - Bear, Betta - Hill). Bananthimari Betta is locally known as KaradiBetta in and around the region since bears are spotted around. Located 3 km from the Kanakapura region, this twin hillock is surrounded by plush green fields and patches of flowers and rock surfaces. This moderately easy day trek is perfect for a weekend break. The Bananthimari Betta trek offers diverse landscapes, an experience catered to beginners as well as seasoned trekkers. Throughout the trail, you will witness a variety of bird, insect and plant species, making it one of the most gorgeous trails around Bangalore.
