A short hillclimb leads to the temple on top, which overlooks the valley and hamlets below and other surrounding hillocks &#8211; An ideal spot to catch the Sunrise. The boulders scattered on the top provide natural shelter from the wind making it an ideal spot for a campfire for the night (weather-permitting). We will wake up in the morning to have an exciting session of rappelling. While Gavirangana betta cannot be called a proper &#8216;Trek&#8217; (It is a short hillclimb), it makes a great &#8216;getaway&#8217; for people wanting to escape the stresses of the city to do something fun and exciting (yet not physically demanding) over the weekend.<strong>Interesting facts:<\/strong>In the native language (Kannada), Channapatna is also called as &#8220;goMbegaLa ooru&#8221; meaning toys town in English.
