Trip to Hatyal Narasimha Swamy Temple

My trips are always unplanned and sudden decisions. This trip was also very much unplanned but I did a bit of my homework as to how to go and the distance on Google and started my trip with my little one (My SonJ, always my travel companion). We planned for few places and this was also in the list which is close to Gubbi. If you come from Tiptur it is around 28 kilometers and very close to KB Cross which is around 8 kilometers to the temple. It is nearly 119 kilometers away from Bangalore and the road is also good as its via Tumkur with lot of tolls though!. (Be ready to spend on toll fees if you are travelling to this place).

We reached the place around 12.00 in the noon and it is a small hill top temple which is located at Yagachikatte near Harenahalli village. The road to the temple is also good you can have a smooth ride to the top of the hill. The view from the top is breathtaking. Am sure if you visit it you will love the sight and the place too.  It is a small temple dedicated to Lord Narasimhaswamy.  You can travel via two wheeler and four wheeler also the road is fine and have good space to park your vehicle. If you visit here early morning it is very awesome view, you will be mesmerized with the clouds covering the space around the temple.  There are no hotels on top of the temple but only 2 – 3 shops on top of the temple who sell few things to eat (snacks generally but no food). So if you are travelling try to carry your food, if not you can have your food in a hotel at Tiptur or Tumkur.

The Lord of this temple is Narasimhaswamy, the statue of Narasimhaswamy is very beautifully carved. The people living in surrounding villages believe in this god and they come here to pray to the lord with lot of belief in him. It is very quiet and peaceful place, if you are nature lover am sure you will love this place. Wish you a great journey if you are travelling to this place soon. Hope I can visit this again sooooooooooneeeeerrrrr! J
