The mediaeval hill of Skandagiri is also known as Kalwarebetta, and it is situated in the Nandi Hill ranges, some 68 kilometres from Bangalore. It is one of the most popular trekking locations nearby Bangalore since it provides a wonderful escape from the hectic and stressful city life and takes visitors to a serene and tranquil setting.

My journey to Skandagiri started with a group of friends who shared the same passion for trekking. We decided to embark on the trek during the early spring season, in the month of February. The weather was perfect, and the clear skies ensured that we would have a clear view of the sunrise.

Early in the morning, we arrived at Skandagiri's base and began to climb. Although the initial ascent wasn't particularly steep, it did call for a lot of endurance and stamina. But thanks to my consistent cardio training at the gym, I was able to finish the trek without too much difficulty. The view was more breath-taking as we ascended higher. We were surrounded by gorgeous scenery, including verdant forests and rolling hills.

We were welcomed by a stunning view of the sunrise as we approached the sunrise. The sun rose majestically from behind the hills as the sky was painted in hues of orange. We sat there for a while, soaking in the beauty of nature and taking pictures to capture the moment.

The return trip downhill was a little difficult because the stones lacked firm surfaces to grip and were dusty. But, with each other's assistance, we were able to make our way down without incident. We arrived at the base fatigued but happy, with the sense of satisfaction that comes from finishing a difficult walk.

Overall, my first trek to Skandagiri was an unforgettable experience. It allowed me to connect with nature, push my physical limits, and make new friends. If you're an adventure enthusiast or a nature lover, Skandagiri is definitely worth a visit.
