Overview
Nestled around 65 to 80 kilometres from Bangalore, the Anthargange is a Hill range in Kolar. Standing 1712 meters tall above sea level, with small caves, huge volcanic rock formations, boulders, and dense forests, Anthargange is one of the best spots for those fond of cave exploration, trekking, and rock climbing. Navigating through the winding trails and rocky terrain, trekkers will be rewarded with eye-pleasing views of the surrounding landscapes.
In Kannada, the meaning of Anthargange is ‘Inner Stream’ or ‘Ganges from the deep’. A stream can be seen flowing out of the mountains, all the time, but no one is aware of the source of this water. The Anthargange Trek also attracts a lot of devotees because of the Kashi Vishweshwara Temple on top of the small hill.
The Anthargange sunrise trek is a memorable experience in terms of cave exploration and trekking. The total distance covered during the trek is around 3 to 4 kilometres, which can also extend by 1 or 2 km due to cave exploration. Generally, it takes almost 3 to 4 hours to complete, depending on your fitness, pace, and time spent exploring the caves. This trek is designed to culminate with dreamy sunrise views from the hilltop, making it a popular night trek. While most of the sections on the trail are dotted with natural rock formations and rocky boulders, it also includes patches of greenery, offering a refreshing transformation as you trek towards the summit.
The ideal months for the Anthargange trek from Bangalore are November to March. These are the winter months, and the weather remains cool with clear skies, ideal for unobstructed sunrise views. Avoid going on the Anthargange night trek from June to September (monsoon months), as the rains can obstruct cave exploration, and slippery trails can increase the challenges. So, if you are looking for a short yet adventurous weekend escape from Bangalore, combining sunrise views with thrilling cave exploration, book your Anthargange trek from Bangalore package now and join us on this unforgettable adventure!
