A trip to Devarayana Durga

On the 11th of April, I went to Devarayana Durga with a few friends to celebrate a birthday. It is a damn good trekking spot about 80-90 kms from Bangalore on the Bangalore-Tumkur express highway. The drive tothat place is absolutely fantastic. I could never keep my heavily loaded Maruti Omni (which I treat as an SUV) below (err ahem) 100 KM/H. But once you get off the highway (just before the second flyover), you will have to really slow down. Because the road is just about drive worthy. Also besides there are a lot of villages so you really should watch out. But then again if you keep going down this road you will go to Madhugiri, which is a fantastic place for rock climbing (sigh..... I wish we'd gone there). Anyway, you get a deviation to the left. That is again a beautiful road. So just keep going down that road & you have another deviation to your right takes you straight to Devarayana Durga.
