Pavagada is known for infamous reasons. Few decades ago, it had a reputation of being the home of wolves that used to carry children. But it was long ago and remained as mystery. Naxals, who are far more dangerous, have also given a bad name to this place.
Information about an old fort in the town of Pavagada made us (I, Aishwarya and Krishna) to visit the place.
The route we took was Bengaluru->Dabaspet->Madhugiri->Pavagada fort. On the way, few snaps were taken of the sun flowers near Madhugiri.
Chitradurga is a two hour drive from Pavagada at 109 km distance and is a place of historical and religious importance from the time of the Rashtrakutas, Chalukyas and the Hoysalas, but it flourished most during the Vijayanagara rule. Chandravalli with ancient archaeological sites and caves, the nearby Aadumalleshwara Temple with a perennial stream flowing from Nandi Bull’s mouth, the hill station of Jogimatti at a distance of 10 km from Chitradurga…are just amazing places for tourists to visit. Rock-climbing, trekking and camping at Jogimatti Reserve Forest near Chitradurga Town, along with the grand sites of its fort and temples is a very enriching experience for tourists coming to this part of Karnataka in South India. It is a great destination for adventure sports lovers.
At around 65 km from Pavagada and 120 km from Bangalore is Lepakshi; although a small village it has an extraordinary history. The temples of Leepakshi were built by the Vishwakarma Brahmins and are a superb display of their dedication towards their faith and beliefs.
