Mekedatu

It’s 100 km from Bangalore. Mekedatu refers to a goat’s jump in Kannada. It is believed there was a time when a goat pursued a tiger, and to escape it, the animal took a leap of a magnitude across the valley. The tiger, however, did not attempt to chase it which led to the goat’s life being saved. The river Kaveri enters this area from the deep valley of the gorge. The flow of water is extremely intense in this area in the monsoon season. Therefore, make sure to be careful when walking on the rocks. Also, you could plan an itinerary that includes Chunchi autumn, Sangama and Mekedatu as they are within a couple of kilometers.

The incline of the hill may be over 45 degrees, so it is important to be aware. Further hiking will allow you to go to Kalyana Mandapam. It is popular within the Vijayanagara Dynasty. When you arrive at this point, it indicates that you’re getting close to the summit. There are two temples on the summit as well as the views from the top are amazing and must take in the view.
