About Devarayanadurga in Bangalore

Devarayanadurga is a hill town situated amidst picturesque locality near Tumkur at a distance of 72 km from Bangalore. Devarayanadurga Hills is home to the temples of Yoga Narasimha & Bhoga Narasimha. The Bhoga Narasimha temple is located at the foothills while the Yoga Narasimha shrine is located at the top of the hill. These Devarayanadurga temples are among the popular tourist places near Bangalore. Another famous temple in the area is the Mahalakshmi Temple at Goravanahalli.

When translated, Devarayanadurga means Fort of the God. It got the name Devarayanadurga after the Mysore ruler Chikka Devaraja Wodeyar captured it on one of his victorious feats. This is a great weekend pilgrimage spot and a getaway for a quick retreat or picnic, to escape from the grind of the daily hustle and bustle of city life.

Devarayanadurga Trek

This hill spot is also a trekker’s paradise, due to the fact that it has numerous hillocks surrounding it. Motorable road is available till the hilltop. Many trekkers go for a Devarayanadurga trek from the Bhoga Narasimha temple at the foothill. Devarayanadurga state forest is declared as a protective reserved forest by the forest department of Government of Karnataka. The trek is really easy and can be enjoyed by families of all age groups. On the Devarayanadurga trek, people can enjoy beautiful greenery and spot plenty of birdlife.

Devarayanadurga, Tumkur is steeped in mythological importance. It is said that Lord Brahma has performed penance for many years in the name of Lord Vishnu. Impressed by his penance, Lord Vishnu has incarnated himself as Lord Narasimha here.

Famous for the natural water spring called Namada Chilume in Devarayanadurga is considered as the source of Jayamangali River. There are two other springs known as Ramatirtha and Dhanushtirtha. There is a large cave nearby with figures of Rama, Sita, and Lakshmana. The car festival of Sri Bhoga Narasimha Swamy is held during the month of March/April here.

Sonicasonawane's 5 days trip to Bangalore

While the trip was enjoyable overall, there were a couple of areas where I believe improvement is needed. Itinerary Suggestions: The itinerary provided could have been more thoughtfully tailored. Hotel Rooms & Houseboat Quality: Unfortunately, the hotels and rooms selected did not meet expectations. Considering the price paid, the accommodations were below standard. Additionally, there was a discrepancy between the pictures shown during booking and the actual rooms. The rooms were not as clean as they should have been, which was disappointing. Overall, I appreciate the efforts made by Travel Triangle, but there are areas for improvement to ensure a higher quality experience for future travelers. Thank you for the opportunity to provide feedback.

Himshita's 6 days trip to Bangalore

Hi, I hope this message finds you well. I wanted to provide some feedback regarding the itinerary for my recent trip. While I appreciate your efforts in organizing the trip, I found that the itinerary was not as well planned as expected. Firstly, the places to visit in the selected locations seemed poorly organized. Some of the destinations mentioned in the itinerary like Dam in Coorg and Sakleshpura didn't exist or may not be operational and waterfall in Sakleshpura is a private property that we cannot visit without permission. Additionally, the sequence of the places was not ideal. The travel flow felt disjointed, and there were long travel times between certain cities, which could have been optimized to make the trip more enjoyable. I hope this feedback can help improve the planning for future trips, as I believe with better organization and sequencing, the experience would have been much more seamless. Thank you for your attention to this matter, and I look forward to hearing your thoughts. Best regards, Himshita

Gaurav's 4 days trip to Bangalore

Very good and smooth experience. This was my second time booking with Travel Triangle. We traveled to Bengaluru - Coorg - Mysuru with senior citizens. Initially I was worried about planning entire trip comfortable for everyone however I received quotes on time. The travel agent Sree Ganpati Travels arranged everything smoothly. The cab was clean, comfortable, driver was polite and professional. Ms. Ritika from Sree Ganpati Travels provided assistance at every stage and every step of the journey. I highly recommend!
