Just 200 Kms from Bangalore, lies Chitradurga district, home to a prodigious fort of the same name. But Chitradurga is not only about the fort. The place also entices with its scenic beauty surrounded by hills and umpteen windmills. While other historical sites in Karnataka like Hampi and Badami get ample attention, this gem is still unknown to many. So if you are looking for a day trip or an unconventional weekend getaway around Bangalore, then we certainly recommend a road trip to Chitradurga Fort. We visited Chitradurga in the month of August when it was bathed in fresh greenery (thanks monsoon!) and the roads were lined by gorgeous flower fields.
