About Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta Sunrise Trek:
Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta is a hill near Kanakapura, about 70 km south of Bangalore. Its name comes from the white granite rock at the top, and the temple of Lord Ranganatha Swamy sits tucked beneath it. The trek is a popular choice for people who want a hill with a destination at the end, not just a view. The route is around 5 to 6 km in total and is rated moderate. You leave Bangalore around 11 PM, reach the base at about 3:30 AM and start climbing with a trek leader. The path runs through scrub forest and across rock slabs, and most groups reach the top around 5 AM, in time to watch the light change over the surrounding hills. After spending time at the summit, you descend by 7:30 AM and stop at a nearby restaurant for breakfast before the drive back. Because the temple is a place of worship, dress simply and keep noise down at the top. Carry a torch, a litre or more of water and a light jacket, since the early morning air at the summit is cool. Shoes with grip matter more than anything else on the smooth granite near the peak. The booking page shows two options, with transport from Bangalore and without it, so you can
