Step Into the Ancient: Kaurava Kunda Trek Explained (2024)

Embark on a captivating journey as we guide you through the enchanting landscapes and historical wonders of the Kaurava Kunda Trek. This comprehensive guide provides a detailed exploration of this ancient Kaurava Kunda Trek, unraveling the mystique surrounding its legendary past.

During my visit to Bangalore last year, I stumbled upon numerous small hills, such as Kaurava Kunda, near the city—perfect spots for a delightful weekend day trip. These hidden gems offer fantastic opportunities for one-day treks from Bangalore , and their proximity to the city allows for a quick and fulfilling adventure that can be wrapped up in just half a day.

About Kaurava Kunda

Kaurava Kunda, a hill previously unfamiliar to me, was recommended by a fellow trekker during the Vattakanal Trek . Intrigued by the suggestion, I decided to explore this hidden gem, especially for its reputed stunning sunrise views.

The nomenclature of the twin hills, Kaurava Kunda, finds its roots in the mythological tales of the Mahabharata , associated with both the Kauravas and Pandavas. Situated in Kavaranahalli village, the base of these hills holds the historical resonance of the epic. Additionally, a midway temple devoted to Lord Shiva adds a spiritual touch to the journey.

According to my trekking companion, Kaurava Kunda surpassed popular destinations like Skandagiri or Nandi Hills for sunrise-watching due to its lesser-known status. The charm lay in the serenity of the location, as the hill remained relatively undiscovered, ensuring a peaceful sunrise experience with minimal crowds compared to the more renowned hills.

How to Get to Kaurava Kunda?

• By Road – Located approximately 75 kilometers from Bangalore city, Kaurava Kunda can be reached by car in just 1 hour and 20 minutes. Nestled in the Chikkaballapura district, the most convenient and straightforward mode of getting to the hill’s base is by driving a car or riding a bike.

• Caution: It’s important to note that arranging an auto-rickshaw for the return journey may pose a challenge, potentially requiring you to walk back to the main road.

Best Time to Trek to Kaurava Kunda Peak

The optimal timing to reach the peak is between 7 to 8 AM, especially during the winter months spanning from October to February. This period offers pleasant weather without excessive heat or rainfall. It’s advised to avoid the summer and rainy seasons, as the steep path lacks sufficient shade or cover, making these times potentially risky for trekking.

Kaurava Kunda Trek Statistics

• Distance : 5 kilometres return.
• Grade : Easy. The ascent is steep, and rain can make the trail extremely slippery. There is no well-defined path to the peak, and the final stretch involves navigating through giant boulders, adding an element of risk to the trek.
• Time taken : 2 to 3 hours.
• This hill is renowned for its night trek, allowing enthusiasts to reach the summit just in time to witness the breathtaking sunrise.

This trek is self-guided and doesn’t necessitate the assistance of a trekking agency. Nevertheless, if you are solo-traveling, it is not recommended to trek alone due to the potential isolation and loneliness on the trail.

Important Information

• Be cautious of the bushes and thorny plants along the path.
• Exercise caution around monkeys, particularly if you have a backpack or a packet.
• Wear durable and comfortable footwear.
• Ensure you have an ample water supply.
• Pack snacks and breakfast for the trek due to the absence of nearby shops.
• Respect the environment: Do not litter or dirty the area. Carry your garbage and dispose of it in a proper waste bin.

Download the Emergency Plus app for any unforeseen situations. The app does not require a mobile network; it shows your location. This is useful to inform the emergency services in case of any emergency. If you are a tourist, always have good comprehensive travel insurance to cover yourself in case of any emergency.

I want to emphasize strongly: DO NOT litter. Please carry your trash and dispose of it when you encounter a garbage bin. It’s disheartening to witness litter in these pristine locations. If we fail to care for our environment, we certainly don’t deserve the privilege of enjoying such beautiful places.

Itinerary for Kaurava Kunda Trek

The trek is perfect for half a day and is particularly renowned for night treks, allowing trekkers to reach the summit before sunrise. However, my friend and I opted for an early morning start rather than a night trek. Here’s the itinerary we followed:

Note: This was a self-planned trek, and we didn’t engage any trekking agency.

• 4:00 AM – Depart from Bangalore very early to ensure timely arrival at the peak. Many start at around 1 AM to reach the summit by 3:30 AM.
• 5:30 AM – The journey from Bangalore takes approximately 1.5 to 2 hours. Arrive at the hill’s base and commence the ascent to the peak.

Remember to carry warm clothing, as the weather can be quite chilly.

• 6:30 AM – Reach the summit and relish the breathtaking sunrise and panoramic views of Chikkabalapura village.

Bring along a light breakfast or snack to enjoy at the peak. Avoid littering at the summit.

• 7:00 AM – Begin the descent after savoring the sunrise.
• 8:00 AM – Commence the return journey to Bangalore.

Note: Numerous darshinis (South Indian fast food joints) are available.

Is Kaurava Kunda Trek Safe for Solo Female Trekkers?

Reiterating from earlier in the post, undertaking this trek alone is strongly discouraged. Given the limited number of people and potential hazards, it poses a significant risk for solo travelers. I strongly recommend against solo treks on this route. It’s advisable to have at least one or two companions for safety. As a good practice, having a trekking buddy is always recommended in case of unexpected situations.

Regrettably, no trekking agency organizes trips to this hill.

Closing Notes

The views from the summit are undeniably worth the early morning wake-up call. The scenic panorama is truly breathtaking, especially with the clouds enveloping the peak in the morning—a sight that feels absolutely divine and refreshing. While I would personally rank it slightly below Skandagiri, which holds a magical allure, I believe starting the trek even earlier, aiming for the peak before 6:30 AM or 7 AM, could enhance the experience. Perhaps, on my next attempt, I’ll plan for an even earlier start.

Kaurava Kunda is an excellent choice for a one-day trek around Bangalore. With proper planning, it can be completed in half a day, making it an ideal weekend activity.

If you are looking forward to escape a monotonous schedule, Kaurava Kunda Night Trek is a perfect weekend getaway plan. These joined peaks, named after the mythological characters – the Kauravas and Pandavas, are located at around 70 km from Bangalore in the district of Chikkaballapur. Popular for night treks, it is at a height of 250 m and can be reached by a flight of sandy steps. For a unique experience, travellers can pick the months between September and February.

During your Kaurava Kunda trek, there are a few things that you should carry for convenience. This night trek requires trekkers to bring along their torch for safety reasons. Small food items and a lot of water should be carried during the trek. Sleeping bags should also be carried to relax when you are on the hills. Trekkers are advised to wear sports shoes as ascending and descending can be slippery, and full of boulders and pebbles. If all these necessary items are carried, travellers will be assured a memorable experience of their night trek to Kaurava Kunda.     

Day 00: Bangalore to Kaurava Kunda Leave from Bangalore and reach the doublet hill of Kaurava Kunda.

Day 01: Night Trek to Kaurava Kunda | Departure An about 5-km walk through the Hariharpur village, near Chikkaballapur, will take you to the base camp. You start at the foothills with villagers sleeping and stray dogs barking. There are sandy steps leading to the Shiva Temple, which lies in the middle of your destination. All the way up, there will be bushes, lush trees and thorns throughout. Be careful about the thorns as you might injure yourself. You will reach the temple, where you can rest for a while and explore the area. The Mantapa, near the temple, can be used to click pictures of this wonderful experience of night trek to Kaurava Kunda. A lot of smooth rocks will appear on your way where you sit for a while and gaze at the sky full of stars. As there are steep slopes, leading to the top, it can be challenging to climb. The terrain is brightly lit up for the convenience of trekkers.  

Once you reach the plateau, you can enjoy mesmerising views of the verdant valleys and outline of Nandi Hill. The Chikkaballapur town, glittering with lights, is also visible from here. Put on your jackets or shrugs to protect yourself from the thrashing cold wind. Along with the guide, build campfire using the small branches around the plateau. Amenities for the campfire will be carried by the guide. Sit around it and indulge in some fun talks and games with fellow trekkers. Discuss the challenges and difficulties you faced during your adventurous Kaurava Kunda trek. You can prepare Maggie or coffee, using the basic utensils carried by the guide. Later, cuddle up in your sleeping bag and take a nap on the peak.

Early morning, you will be greeted by an alluring sunrise. Look at the colour changing sky and walk to the edge for a clearer and better view of the scenery. Click some pictures of the same and get ready to descend. You need to be careful while trekking to the foothills, as the loose soil can be slippery. A lot of flowers and orchids will be visible on your way back. Upon reaching the Hariharpur village, have breakfast. Thereafter, head back to Bangalore carrying memories of this Kaurava Kunda night trek.

Trek to Kaurava Kunda

If you drive on the Bengaluru Chikkaballapur highway, it is hard to miss the hill ranges on the left side of the road. Many hills like Nandi betta, Skandagiri, Avala Betta , Gudibande adorn the skyline on this stretch. Kaurava Kunda is one of the lesser-known hillocks in the area. This place on the outskirts of Chikkaballapur is gradually gaining popularity as a camping location and trekking with beautiful sunrise and sunset views.

Kaurava Kunda was on my bucket list of places near Bengaluru for a long time. Known for dry weather, the area around Chikkaballapur was not conducive for summer treks. But with rains lashing Bengaluru and its surroundings for the past two weeks, I was convinced that it was the perfect time to trek to this place.

Travel to Kaurava Kunda

Bengaluru (or its people) were still waking up when we started from our home. The traffic was thin, and we came out of the core part of the city pretty fast. As we passed through the airport flyover, I did not understand the need for back to back toll plazas!! We had to cross a series of speed breakers and three traffic signals at Devanahalli. “Why the hell do they collect toll for this?” I thought. A minister talked in the parliament about getting rid of such toll plazas within three months. He still has a month to prove that he is the man of his words.

As we approached Chikkaballapur, two hillocks made their appearance. I showed Chaya that it was our destination, Kaurava Kunda. They looked majestic from the highway. We crossed the town and entered village roads. Finally, we reached Hariharapura village, the base of our trek.

At Hariharapura

We were impressed with Hariharapura, a small village located at the backdrop of Kaurava Kunda. Hariharapura was a clean hamlet, a contrast to other villages near Bengaluru. We parked our car near the pond and started our trek. Villagers were helpful and provided information on the direction of the hike.

The trek to Kaurava Kunda can be split into three logical stages.

Stage 1: Easy climb to Harihara temple

We went through the village and crossed the fields to reach the base of the hill. It took some time to locate the steps leading to the temple. Once we found those steps, it was an easy climb. As we climbed up, the views got better. Due to the recent rains, some section of the rocks was wet, and we had to be careful.

Tip: To locate the steps, look for the electric line going to the temple. The steps are present where the electric lines cross the field to the hill.

The surroundings of Harihara temple looked beautiful and serene. We spent a long time enjoying the peaceful atmosphere. Unfortunately, the temple was empty, and we could not get to know the history of the place.

Stage 2: Tricky route to the midpoint

Challenges started as we left the temple. There was no path further up, and we had to use our intuitions to find the way. We started from the left side of the temple. We traversed a steep rocky stretch which gave me goosebumps (due to my fear of heights). Once we crossed this section, we reached a shrub forest and boulder area.

Again, we had to find a way to cross this section. It was tricky, and we had to wade through thorny bushes and rocks. After some struggle, we found something looking like a path to go up. It brought us to a large open rocky area. The view was simply beautiful. We spent some time enjoying the scenery and started climbing the rock.

We climbed, looking in the direction of the top of the hill. Once we crossed the rock, we again reached a shrub forest. A clear path at the entry of the forest welcomed us!!

Stage 3: Steep climb to the top

The ascent further was steep, but the route was clear. We had to climb up some rocky sections. The steep section ended, leading us to a wide area. It was a good place for camping. There were some remains of old construction, but we could not find what it was.

The final climb was short but steep. Once we reached the top, the beautiful views welcomed us. It was already hot but the strong breeze provided respite from the heat.

Return to Bengaluru

The climb down was easy as we just had to retrace the steps. We spent a long time at the temple before climbing down to the village. The drive back to Bengaluru took longer due to midday traffic. We were back home for lunch!!

Information and tips

• Kaurava Kunda is about 75 km from Bengaluru.
• We took about 1.5 hours to climb up and 45 minutes to ascend down with frequent breaks.
• While the place is known for camping, I suggest doing it while trekking in a group.
• The path can be slippery during rains.
• No permissions are needed to trek to Kaurava Kunda (May 2022). I do not know about the permissions required for camping.

Description.

About the Kaurava Kunda Betta Sunrise Trek

Kaurava Kunda Betta Sunrise trek is a lesser-known destination located at Chikkaballapur in Hariharapura village at a distance of 75 km from Bengaluru. This is a twin hill with one peak called “Kaurava betta” and another one as “Pandava betta”. Kauravas represents the descendants of Kuru clan, which includes Pandavas as well and hence the name Kaurava Kunda. There is an ancient Shiva temple on the way to the peak. Once you reach the top, you can get stunned by the mesmerizing view of Nandi Hills and Skandagiri Hills, with clouds beneath you. The feeling is amazing with the adrenaline rushing down when the sun is rising up. It is a fun and challenging trek around Bangalore as we have to undertake a steep climb and pass through sandy paths, thorns, shrubs to reach the peak of Kaurava Kunda. This hike is a bit slippery when rained. Kaurava Kunda is a perfect and peaceful trip away from the usual crowded places across Bangalore.

Kaurava Kunda: A Hidden Gem on the Outskirts of Chikkaballapur

Unveiling the Splendor of Kaurava Kunda

Located on the outskirts of Chikkaballapur in Karnataka, Kaurava Kunda is a lesser-known hillock that is slowly starting to garner the attention of explorers and adventure enthusiasts. Named after the infamous Kauravas from the Indian epic Mahabharata, this serene location is slowly carving a niche for itself as a must-visit spot for those seeking solitude amidst nature and a taste of adventure.

A Trekker’s Paradise

Trekking to the top of Kaurava Kunda is an experience you don’t want to miss. The trails leading up the hillock are moderately challenging, making it an enjoyable endeavor for both beginners and seasoned trekkers. The path winds through rugged terrains and dense shrubbery, offering glimpses of the region’s diverse flora and fauna. At the summit, the breathtaking panoramic view of the surrounding landscape is a visual treat that makes the climb worthwhile.

Witnessing the Magic of Dawn and Dusk

One of the main attractions of Kaurava Kunda is the mesmerizing views of sunrise and sunset. As dawn breaks, the golden rays of the sun slowly blanket the region, painting the sky in hues of red, orange, and pink. In contrast, the sunset is equally enchanting, as the sun dips beyond the horizon, casting long shadows and bathing the area in an ethereal glow.

A Haven for Camping

For those who love spending a night under the stars, Kaurava Kunda is an ideal camping location. The clear skies offer an unobstructed view of the cosmos, making it a stargazer’s delight. The cool breeze, the rustling leaves, and the symphony of night creatures add to the magical experience of wilderness camping.

Rich in Local Lore

Imbibed with a rich local lore, Kaurava Kunda, along with its twin hillock, Pandava Kunda, is believed to be the place where the epic battle of Mahabharata took place. The locals believe that these hillocks were the fortresses of the Kauravas and Pandavas, and one can still feel a sense of history and mythology deeply rooted in this place.

Eco-conscious Tourism

As Kaurava Kunda grows in popularity, there’s an emphasis on maintaining the sanctity of the region by promoting eco-conscious tourism. Visitors are encouraged to respect the natural environment and ensure no littering, keeping the beauty of Kaurava Kunda unspoiled for future generations.

How to Reach

Chikkaballapur is well connected by road from major cities in Karnataka like Bangalore. From Chikkaballapur, you can hire a local taxi or auto-rickshaw to reach the base of Kaurava Kunda.

Discovering Kaurava Kunda is a journey into the heart of untouched nature, where tranquility and adventure coalesce to create an unforgettable experience. Whether you’re an avid trekker, a nature lover, or a seeker of solitude, Kaurava Kunda has something to offer for every discerning traveler.
