Bhairavadurga, a conical hill with inclines, is situated at the outskirts of the tiny hamlet of Kudur, 58 km away from
Bangalore in
Karnataka. Once it was the home of an impregnable fort built by the erstwhile ruler and architect of modern Bangalore, Kempegowda II.
The hill can be ascended only through the western face and one has to be careful while climbing as there are no proper steps. One of the most remarkable features of this place is that during the hottest of summers the weather at the top of Bhairavadurga remains cool. This place is also home to wide varieties of wildlife such as mongoose, monitor lizards, fox and sloth bear.
Visitors from far and near visit the cave shrine dedicated to
Lord Bhairava situated halfway up the top of the hill.
