It takes hardly around 4 hours to reach Thiruannamalai from Bangalore.- Just another hideout place from Bangalore.

INTERESTING TREKKING TRAILS


HILL TREK (SEE MAP FOR ROUTE)

This is a a very good trekking route. One can trek up the top in around 2 hours. At first it seems to be easy with the gentle slop , but after the first hill, it is soo steep and rocks. There were no animals except monkeys. The total Height is 800 Meters Above MSL.

The main route to the top starts from the road extending from the north of the temple (See  the Map), aside the asrama. There are many other routes which are more fresh anr green from the other sides of the hill.  Please make sure that you are not loosing the route. It will be good, if you track the waypoints as you move.

From the top of the hill, you get a birds eye view of the city temple and the Sun rise. It is an Enchanting view.

AROUND THE HIL TREK (SEE MAP FOR ROUTE)

This is yet another 14 Km trek. You can either walk or get a hired bicycle (Rs 3 / hour),  and make an eround trip. While you move you can have a view of the many temples around the hills. From many sides you can have a good view of the plantations and the hill. It will be a good idea to take this toute to make a good photograph of the hill.
