Everything you need to know before visiting Mandaragiri Hill or Basadi Betta, a perfect day trip from Bangalore in just 2 hours drive near Tumkur. It has a lot to offer - a relatively easy hike, a lake surrounded by the hills, and a few Jain temples (including the famous peacock feather shaped temple) with a dash of history attached. This place is perfect if you want to spend a few hours or a day away from the hustle-bustle of city life.
