If you’re planning to go on the Bandaje Falls Trek, which includes the Ballalarayana Durga Fort, make sure to complete your Ballalarayana Trek booking well in advance to secure your spot. Forts always have a certain charm, and when they are located on high peaks, hidden from plain sight amidst fog, clouds, and mist, the charm doubles. One such amazing fort in the Dakshina Kannada district of Karnataka is the Ballalarayana Durga Fort. This fort lies on the top of a hill and can only be reached by trekking through dense vegetation that grows on the slopes.
This trek and camping experience in the Western Ghats is designed to take you to a beautiful fort, high up in the hills, shrouded by thick clouds. The best part of this trek is that there is no network connectivity, offering you a true offbeat experience of camping, trekking, and being completely unplugged from the digital world.
You will begin your trek to the top at around 9 AM, reaching. Spend some time at the summit, take in stunning views of the Charmadi Ghat Hill and South Kendra, click the perfect pictures, and return to the base camp. To keep your energy levels high throughout the trek, you’ll be enjoying delicious, locally cooked meals. Make sure to book your Bandaje Trek package online, especially during peak seasons, to avoid disappointment and secure the necessary permits for the trek.
