About the Event
Mandaragiri Hill + DD Hills Trek – One Day Escape from Bangalore!
Ready for a chill day trip packed with Insta-worthy views, a unique Jain temple shaped like a peacock feather (yup, for real), peaceful lakes, mini hikes, and sunset magic? Then this one’s for you.
Mandaragiri Hill, also known as Basadi Betta, is a revered Jain pilgrimage site situated near Tumkur in Karnataka. This destination offers the perfect blend of spiritual tranquility and natural beauty, making it ideal for a day trip. The hill is easily accessible and features a gentle climb, making it suitable for families and beginners alike.
The trek begins with the striking Manastambha — a beautifully sculpted pillar that marks the entrance. A key highlight of the trip is the iconic Guru Mandir, an 81-foot-tall temple uniquely designed in the shape of a peacock feather — a symbol of Jain renunciation. This structure, dedicated to Acharya Shantisagar, is a must-see.
Climbing approximately 450 stone steps carved into the hill, visitors are rewarded with sweeping views of the surrounding countryside. At the summit, you`ll discover four ancient Jain temples from the 12th and 14th centuries, each dedicated to different Tirthankaras, offering a fascinating insight into the region’s Jain heritage.
Just outside Bangalore, Mandaragiri Hill (aka Basadi Betta) is the perfect mix of spiritual vibes and scenic beauty. The trek is beginner-friendly, family-approved, and totally photo-ready.
