Chitradurga is district place in Karnataka and is about 200KM from Bangalore.
Places to see arround Chitradurga:
Vani Vilas Sagar is also known as Maari Kanive. This dam is built by Mysor Scion.
The Dam is well built and architecture is marvellous.
Location is beautifull and good place to spend time with family.
Few of the snaps captured at the location:
There is IB mentained by governement and if we have prior booking and reservation from Irrigation department, we can stay overnight and spend day.
From Vani Vilas Sagar, head back to Hiriyur and after reaching Arch near NH4 highway, take left and head towards chitradurga. Chitradurga is abut 40-50KM from Hiriyur.
Chandavalli Toota:
It's about 4 KM from Main Chitradurga City. Take Holalkere road and after driving about 2 KM, take left and it will lead to Chandavalli Toota.
Here there is a small temple and cave. Better to carry a torch to visit the Cave and explore properly.
Chitradurga Fort:
It's in the heart of Chitradurga city and built in 15th Century. It was under Vijayanagar Empire in the beginning and later ruled by Nayaks and Hydera ali.
Better to visit Fort in the morning arround 7 AM. There are some temples and ponds inside the fort.
When we vistited Fort, the common problem observed is, people throw the bottles and plastics all arround the places (Though there are many dust bins every where).
This was comment raised by one of the Cleaning staff inside the Fort and they have to walk arround the fort and collect the plastics and bottles.
Note: As a kind request, requesting tourists to keep the environment clean. Don't throw the bottles and plastic.
