Adventure Trip Spots Near Bangalore

Kunti Betta Trip:Kunti Betta is a hillock near Pandavapura in Mandya District. The place is rich in history & heritage. Pandavapura features during the Mahabharata period. It is said the Pandavas ended their exile of 14 years in Pandavapura. Here is where Bheema slayed Bakasura, the demon.One can see the utensil shaped rocks which were apparently used by Pandavas for cooking.. The multitude of canals passing by the fields gives the location an exotic look. On a sunny day, one can take a dip in any of the well maintained canals. The Chunchanghatte falls, Melukote and the newly excavated temple of Venugopalaswamy on the Cauvery river basin are very close by. The backwaters of KRS is at a distance of 20 km from here. We can also visit the nearby KRS dam where centuries old Temple is being excavated & reinstalled on the bank of the backwaters.The painted stairs to the Ganapati Temple made a perfect picture. We spotted many kingfishers at the small pool next to the temple. There was also a cave that led nowhere. A wall was built inside the cave, giving a feeling that there was another world on the other side of the wall. Effect of too many harry potters, no doubt! An urge to break the wall and explore the unknown was too tempting.
