That adds a haunting appeal to this trek. Skandagiri hill which overlooks Nandi Hills is also known as Kalwarbetta or Kalavara Durga. Walking among clouds here is an experience to relish. At night, you can enjoy a bonfire and camp under the sky and marvel at the unparalleled view of the morning sun. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"p3 wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Quick Facts<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\"><li><span class=\"s1\"><b>Location:<\/b> Chikkaballapura, Karnataka<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Starting Point:<\/strong> Kalwara Village<\/li><li><strong>End Point: <\/strong>Skandagiri Hilltop<\/li><li><span class=\"s1\"><b>Altitude:<\/b> Approximately 1350 metres<\/span><\/li><li><span class=\"s1\"><b>Trek Time:<\/b> 5 hours<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Distance:<\/strong> 8kms<\/li><li><span class=\"s1\"><b>Difficulty Level:<\/b> Easy to moderate<\/span><\/li><li><strong>Starting time:<\/strong> 4:00 AM<\/li><\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"s1\"><b>Best Time For Skandagiri Trek<\/b><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image alignnone normal size-full wp-image-20948\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"https:\/\/static-blog.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/View-of-the-clouds-atop-the-hill.jpg\" alt=\"View of the clouds atop the hill\" class=\"wp-image-20948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/View-of-the-clouds-atop-the-hill.jpg 800w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/View-of-the-clouds-atop-the-hill-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/View-of-the-clouds-atop-the-hill-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.treebo.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/07\/View-of-the-clouds-atop-the-hill-740x493.jpg 740w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><figcaption>View of the clouds atop the hill<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"p3\"><span class=\"s1\">Anytime is a good time for this trek.
