Trek to Siddappa
Gudi Betta is really refreshing in all season with scenic view from the top of
the hill we can see vast evergreen fields. At the top there is a small temple
and we can find many monkeys. The site is excavated in an isolated stone
hill watching all these beautiful
peaks with gusty wind to our face were amazing experience.
Journey start with
various small villages en-route is really refreshing. After a small drive from Haveri town in a nasty village road we
reached a small traditional hamlet, we left our vehicle end of the road
and started to hike first immediate stretch from the road side. One has to
climb around 200 steps to reach the summit. The climb is safe and quite easy
because of the stairway right to the top.
However, it
is well worth after crossing the first hump, a beautiful planet opened in front
of us. The hill top is refreshing with cool breeze offers beautiful views of
its surroundings; on the boulder strewn surface cave temple can be seen close
to the hill top.
This natural ancient cave temple dedicated to Lord
Siddeshvara. There is no such
history of this temple it’s difficult to say who exactly established this but
locals says is that it is an ancient temple. There is no such evidence it is
just the supposition that the temple is ancient by the statements given by
senior devotees by villagers and the legend which was emanated by tradition.
Spent some
time and half explored the cave, offered our prayers in the temple on the top
of the mountain. After spending sun set we turned back to our home carrying the
great experience & wonderful memories.
