Places to visit nearby
Hassan district holds two of the most important Hoysala temple sites in Karnataka, and the road west climbs into the coffee country around Sakleshpur.
Belur - Chennakeshava Temple
22 km · about 35 minutesThe 12th-century Hoysala temple, carved end to end in soapstone and still in daily worship. Go early, before the coach parties.
Halebidu - Hoysaleswara Temple
32 km · about 50 minutesThe Hoysala capital before it was sacked. The friezes running around the base are the finest stone carving in Karnataka.
Hassan City
14 km · about 25 minutesThe district town - the nearest railway station, bus stand, hospitals and ATMs.
Yagachi Dam & Reservoir
18 km · about 30 minutesOpen water with the hills behind it, and boating when the level is high. A good sunset detour on the way back from Belur.
Shravanabelagola
62 km · about 1 hour 30 minutesThe 17-metre monolith of Bahubali at the top of 600-odd rock-cut steps. Worth the climb, and worth starting before the stone heats up.
Sakleshpur
45 km · about 1 hour 10 minutesCoffee country and the start of the Western Ghats proper - Manjarabad Fort, the Bisle ghat viewpoint and the trek routes beyond.
