Biligiri Ranganathaswamy Hills
The hills that give the range its name are situated 90 km from Mysore and 180 km from Bangalore (Bengaluru). BR Hills may be reached either from Yelandur or via Chamarajanagar.

Melkote & Thondanur lake
It is around 150Km from Bangalore. Take the road towards Mysore and just after the town of Mandya, take the right turn towards Melkote. Once you take the turn just follow the directions on the boards. Effectively it is just a straight road with a single turn to be made when the Pandavapura road crosses the road to Melkote.
To reach Thondanur lake, take the Pandavapura Road on your way back. Just around 10Kms into the Pandavapura road you will reach “Chatra” (Am not too sure of the spelling). At this place you need to take a right to go to the lake. It is better to ask for directions than to search for place names while reaching the lake from this point. From Melkote the lake is around 28Kms.

Kaivara
Located 80 km from Bangalore on NH7, Kaivara is the place where Bheema is believed to have killed demon Bakasura. This place has an interesting history attached to it. And trekking around here will help you discover all of it.

Huliyur Durga, Hemagiri Betta, Kumbhi Betta
Huliyur has an enormous rock-strewn overhang amidst deep woods on which a fortress was built during Kempegowda's time and hence its name - Huliyur Durga. At 3800 feet above sea level, Hemagiri betta is one of the uppermost hills. Kumbhi Betta is a petite mount on which stands the fortress of Kempegowda's times. This place is situated 80 km from Bangalore at the Kunigal taluk.

Ranganatha Swamy Betta
This place is near Konavaradoddi village. It is 45 km from Bangalore. It gets the name from the temple situated here which is dedicated to Lord Ranganathaswamy. It is 4 km trek to the mountain peak. When you reach the top you can relish the beautiful views of the surrounding villages and forest. The temple remains open for visits on Saturdays only.
Useful Figures(Approximate):
Distance (from Bangalore): about 45kms
Elevation (above ground): 1500fts
Elevation (above sea level): 4200 – 4800fts
Distance from base to hilltop: 3 – 4kms

Honnemaradu
This is a day trek where the trek is to Honnemaradu from Talaguppa. Honnemaradu is a town by the Liganamakki dam. It is in the Shimoga District in north-west Karnataka about 25 km from Sagar town en route Jog Falls. It is the control center for Western Ghats Restoration Project.

Anatargange
Anthargange is in Kolar, 60 km away from Bengalaguru. Anthargange is an ultimate site for not so strenuous treks, some rock climbing and fun-filled camping. The forty-five minutes hill climbing is taxing but it opens up for an extensive and beautiful green plateau on the top.

Madhugiri Fort
Madhugiri Fort is approximately 115km from Bangalore. You can drive out to Tumkur on NH4, turn right and drive for another 45+ kilometers to reach Madhugiri . Alternatively you can turn right at Dobbspet, about 20km after the toll gate at Nelamangala and take the road to Madhugiri. I prefer this.

It takes up to 2 hours to get to the top and an hour to get back. Sections of the climb are steep and can be difficult. Carry food and water, as there is nothing available on the way.
