Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta
Biodiversity
Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta belongs to the Forest Reserve and is filled with shrub forest. Elephants and other medium-sized wild-life animals can be spotted in these forests. The vegetation of the hill is typical of high hills. The vegetation is quite thick especially in post monsoon season. The adjoining forests are known to harbor elephants and other wildlife endemic to the area. The view from the top is incredible as one can see the hillocks from the surrounding Kanakapura. There is an annual festival held once a year on 14 January on the top of this place to herald the glory of the Gods of the temples situated at this place.
The hill summit can be reached by trekking or via an alternate track accessible from Kanakapura. One has to exhibit extracare while traversing the path as large number of Elephants wander around.
