Description of Siddara Betta:

Siddara Betta, meaning “Hill of Saints”, is a popular trekking and pilgrimage spot located near Madhugiri in the Tumkur district of Karnataka, around 100 km from Bangalore. The hill is famous for its natural caves, where many saints and sages are believed to have meditated centuries ago — giving the place its spiritual name and significance.

The trek to Siddara Betta is moderately challenging and stretches over 3 to 4 km. The trail takes you through rocky terrain, stone steps, and scenic surroundings, offering panoramic views of nearby hills and villages. Inside the caves, cool air and echoing sounds create a mystical and peaceful atmosphere.

At the base of the hill lies the Lord Siddeshwara Temple, dedicated to Lord Shiva, which attracts devotees throughout the year. Pilgrims often visit the temple first before starting the trek. Siddara Betta is also known for its natural springs, which are believed to have medicinal properties.

This destination is perfect for those seeking a mix of spirituality, adventure, and nature. Whether you’re a trekker looking for an offbeat trail or a devotee in search of tranquility, Siddara Betta offers a rejuvenating and soulful experience away from the city’s chaos.
