Get yourself immersed in a place that is filled with nothing, but huge boulders scattered all over! The rigid free trail of Kunti Betta trek makes it a smooth experience for even first timers to ascend the twin hill. But that doesn’t necessarily mean to show up unprepared, physically or mentally! To get the best out of this place, Kunti Betta trekking can be done during the hours of the midnight and reach at the top before the dawn.

Skandagiri is special. The most unique part of this trek is to witness the sheer glory of the clouds from above. It constantly moves like the impatient waves of the ocean and crashes against the shore of the Skandagiri hill. It was, in its hay day, a fort used by the mighty Tipu Sultan himself. Now, all that is left is few skeletons of the fort and a temple. Just like Kunti Betta, Skandagiri trek is best experienced during the night. Enjoy the sheer charm of sunrise in its purest form. Interestingly, this trek was banned a few years back for being exploited by the overcrowding visitors. So, make sure to respect its place and people during your visit.
