Thimmappana Betta is about 60 kilometers from Bangalore, and it usually takes 1.5 to 2 hours to reach. I hadn’t been out for a ride in a while, so I decided to go for a quick trip, and Harshith joined me for this quick ride. We started at 5:00 AM from Bengaluru and stopped in Bidadi for breakfast.
The drive to Thimmappana Betta is scenic, but be cautious on the last stretch as the road gets rocky.
The best times to visit are early in the morning or late in the evening to catch the sunrise or sunset. The weather is most pleasant from October to February, especially after the monsoon when everything is green and vibrant.
We reached Thimmappana Betta by 7:00 AM. There’s no entry fee right now, but you’ll need to pay Rs.20/- for bike parking.
At the top, there’s a small temple dedicated to Lord Thimmappa, which is how the hill got its name. The view from the summit is stunning, with wide-open landscapes as far as the eye can see.
The fresh breeze at the top is refreshing, making it a great spot to relax and enjoy nature. We spent some time taking pictures, but as more people arrived, we decided to leave and head to our next destination.
