A trek that is very close to our hearts at Indiahikes since it reveals many surprises as you go climbing through each of its layers of the fort. The beautiful majestic fort reminds you of medieval times that was used as a strategic fortress in this region of Madhugiri and Tumkur. It is one of the Navadurgas around Bangalore, the entire fort is divided into multiple layers and sections. An easy, offbeat trek just over an hour outside Bangalore, Halu Chilume Ganga trek offers a dose of adventure with its thorny trails and unexplored nooks.
For the more adventurous trekker, there is an option to explore around on unmarked trails or the caves on the hill. The trail is pretty easy.
