Nearly 700 steps take you up to the Vindhyagiri hills where the statue of Lord Gomesteshwara is located and is surrounded by a temple complex. To worship or see the lord, you will have to climb the steps. At the bottom of the temple, there are several tiny shops selling knick-knacks and puja items. Bang opposite Vindhyagiri lies another hill called Chandragiri. On the top of the Chandragiri, there is a cluster of 14 Jain Temples. To visit both the shrines /hills half a day is recommended. One of the major attractions of Shravanabelagola is the Mahamastakabhisheka. An event which is planned every 12 years is one of the biggest festivals in the world. Not only the Jain pilgrims, travelers, media, and VIP s flock to Shravanabelagola from all over the world. Mahamastakabhisheka is a festival where the lord Gometeshwara ‘s head-anointment ceremony is performed by pouring hundreds of pots of milk, curd, honey, turmeric paste, coconut water, vermillion and even gold and precious jewels over the statue’s head. The last Mahamastakabhisheka was held in 2018 and the next is due in 2030. After visiting this world-famous Jain pilgrimage, you can proceed towards Hassan and retire for the day.

Later on, the government built a dam to control flooding. The Church becomes the attraction during and post-monsoon when it submerges into the river giving the illusion of a floating church. The ruins of the Church also tell a lot of haunted stories by the local people. The marvelous architecture of the ruins depicts how grand the church may have been. The tall columns, French doors, and windows make it an iconic monument and must to visit when in Hassan. There is no direct access to the church, ask the locals for directions. There is a walk of 10 minutes from the main road to reach the church via a dirt track or mud road. It is a breathtaking sight to see the magnificent Shettihalli church either submerged or otherwise.

Halebid Belur trip from Bangalore

Belur After Doddagadduvalli, We reached Belur for lunch and we stayed in Kstdc Hotel Mayura Velapuri. They have a good restaurant too. I was a little apprehensive but was pleasantly surprised. The rooms were basic but the place was clean with new sheets and clean rooms. There are not much of hotels in Belur. There are more options in Hassan and lot of people stay at Hassan. We chose Belur to avoid the travel time so we can spend more time at the temple. Some people also stay at Chikmagalur as there are a lot of good resorts there. Its very nearby (about half an hours drive) and the facilities are really good.

Belur Chennakeshava Temple Timings: 7:30am to 7:30pm (Many sites mention the closing time as 5:30pm but I enquired in the temple itself and was there in the temple till 7:00pm) (2-3 hours needed for seeing the temple) Note: Carry a pair of cotton socks to these temples and wear them when you enter the temple. The stone flooring gets hot during the day and socks can keep your feet cool.

Halebid / Halebeedu Hoysaleswara temple Temple timings: 10:00 AM to 5:00 PM (Friday timings vary slightly due to poojas) (2 – 3 hours needed for seeing the temple) After a long blissful evening, we stayed in Belur for the night. Next day, after breakfast at the hotel, we headed to Halebid / Halebeedu which takes about 30 minutes to reach from Belur. Halebeedu was the old capital of the Hoysalas. The temple is in ruins as it was attacked and destroyed by the muslim invaders in 14th century. Most of the outer walls has been ransacked and some of the idols stolen.

Here is our itinerary. Day 1 – Bangalore – Shravanabelagola – Doddagadduvalli Lakshmi Temple – Belur Chanakeshava Temple Day 2 – Belur – Halebeedu Hoysaleshwar Temple – Kedareshwar temple – Jain temple Basadi – Temple Tank – Belavadi Veeranarayanaswamy Temple – Chikmagalur (All the temples are very nearby) Day 3 – Chikmagalur (We went to Mullyangiri Peak. We settled and rested for the day at the hotel afterwards) Day 4 – Chikmagalur – Bangalore

Hope you enjoyed my travel diary. Until next time, Kannamma.

Very nice blog keep it up.

I came across your blog as I was researching for our trip to Belur and Halebeedu. I found your blog really useful. I can say we just literally followed your blog to cover all the important sites in Belur and Halebeedu.

Just a few suggestions to edit a few items so others can benefit as well.

a. There is typo in the name of the temple in Belur. Please change it to Chennakeshava Temple. b. The Belavadi Veera Narayana Temple timings are between 8.30 am 2 pm, 4-7 pm. We reached here around 2 pm just in time to catch the glimpse of the deities. The idols are magnificient here and you don’t want to miss their Darshan. c. Halebeedu Temple complex is open from 6.30 AM till 9 PM.

Regards, Giri

Thanks for the updated timings. Thank you Giridhar.

Lovely space you have created…i loved the tip about socks and the Arjun arrow multiplying. Thank you

Very good blog post; particularly useful for planning for those of us who may be traveling from outside Karnataka and want to plan for a weekend getaway.

thank you, Anupama

Extremely useful info. Thank you!

Awesome information and very detailed summary of the places. Really appreciate your efforts Akka. But please bear in mind that many kitchens are dependent on Kannamacooks for weekends and boring days. So please don’t shift to travel blogging full time leaving many of us helpless😀 Thanks for your knowledge sharing

haha. that was funny.

Very interesting read Kannamma. I always find your writing detailed, well informed, and informative.

Excellent travelogue Kannamma. You have done a great job even as a blogger on travel destinations. Keep it up. Travel more in Karnataka and write your blogs. We like them. I live in Mysore and have visited all these places too. Blessings

Thank you so much!

Awesome way of putting you your trip..with colourful pics and so very with clarity. Appreciate and thank you

Traveler Reviews

We 2 friends had booked a private car that took us directly to Shravanbangola from Banguluru airport. One has to climb up 600 steps to reach the 57 feet monolith statue of Lord Bahubali. After seeing this marvelous place, we proceeded to Hassan and stayed the night there. The next day morning, we left Hassan and proceeded to see the beautiful temples of Belur and Halebid.....would recommend keeping a guide at both these places to understand the history and architecture of the temple. After the temple visits, we proceeded to Chikmagalur, which is a hill station as we had planned to stay the night at Chikmagalur. At Chikmagalur, we visited Mullayangiri peak ( tallest park of Karnataka) and Dabdabe falls (also known as buttermilk falls). Next day morning, we left Chikmagalur to reach Banguluru. Found all the 4 places worth visiting.

Took a day trip to Belur and Halebid. Started around 7:00 am from vijay nagar Bangalore. Halted in Swati's for breakfast .. It was delicious.. Then visited the old temples and big Nandi's of the temple.. Did not hire any guide as we had wifi to search the history Had lunch at Krishna's in Halebid and last stop was Shravana Belagola.. It requires climbing.. The only thing I would do different is to go first to the Shravana Belagola first thing in the morning as it is hard to climb after lunch.

Drove down from bangalore. Most beautiful drive esp after hassan. Landscape felt like the south of france.. But not quite. It was like the warmth that you can feel in your own multicultural diverse country. 523 km round trip from bangalore, over 10 hours of total time for the trip and we still felt fresh on the return.

We've made this private tour in three this July and enjoyed it a lot. Driver arrived to out hotel almost an hour advance of the departure time. Car was clean and comfortable, AC was working. We've visited three planed temples, two of them with a guide. During the whole trip driver was finding a good places to make a stops for bathroom and lunch. The only thing we didn't quite enjoy - the real trip duration was 15h instead of 10h planned. Stops and dinner might took us together additional 2h top, but would be good to understand in advance amount of time trip might take. Highly recommend this tour if you're interested in exploring India.

This is my 2nd time to visit Belur, Halebid and 1st time for Shravanabelagola. I don't remember much from my first visit to Belur and Halebid. Everything was blur... due to language. This time I have a private guide to explain the history and characteristics of the temples, carvings, cultures. I truly enjoyed the trip.
