Weekends are the biggest stress busters to us! It was a few months ago when we planned to go for a weekend getaway that was within our budget. Hill stations were our choice but it was a big NO to Ooty, Kodaikanal, Nandi hills. After browsing on the web and taking inputs from friends, we decided to visit Skandagiri Hills.

We finally decided on this little place located at just 70 km from Bangalore, with breathtaking views. But there’s a lot more to the place beside the breathtaking views. Take a look

Skandagiri hills have a fort that was conquered by Tipu Sultan. You can just see a few walls of the fort. What is so special is the place surrounding it that you can use to tent in the night time. During your visit, you will also be able to see Skandagiri temple and a few ancient stone pillars where you can stop by and relax.
