One of Karnataka's best day hikes, Uttari Betta is a 5-kilometer climb through a stunning, lush green landscape with views reminiscent of the western ghats. The trip begins in a small town, enters the fort wall, and proceeds through seven stone doors until reaching the halfway mark, where there is a Shankareswar shrine. The view from the top of the temple is lovely enough to temporarily take your breath away. The journey concludes at the meadow top of the hill, which is ringed by enormous stones, after we have passed the temple and have traversed a little jungle cave.
