3 States, One Ride – A Hidden Hilltop near Bangalore
Weekends are always the perfect time to relax and unwind, especially for bikers.
Mallapakonda Hill Top
Here’s another gem near Bangalore, just about 100 km away, that rewards you with a breathtaking view of the hillocks in the Chittoor district. What makes it unique? You ride across three states to get there! Yes, you start in Karnataka, enter Tamil Nadu, and finally roll into Andhra Pradesh—all for that one unforgettable view.
The route is a perfect mix of national highways, state highways, and scenic village roads. The ride itself is as enjoyable as the destination. The last 5 km winds uphill, leading to a serene Shiva temple, perched quietly amidst the hills—a peaceful spot to seek blessings.
After a quick darshan, you can trek just about 200 meters further uphill to reach the top of the hillock. And that’s where the magic begins—the view is absolutely stunning. It’s the kind of place where you can just sit, soak in nature, and lose track of time under clear blue skies (weather gods willing, of course!).
There aren’t many options to eat or drink nearby, so carry your own supplies, especially if you’re planning to spend more time here. If you’re riding in a group, this place makes for a great picnic spot—just remember to respect nature. Don’t litter, and leave the place better than you found it.
Another amazing ride, another soul-refreshing destination—just around Bangalore.
Keep getting inspired and keep going on more rides.
