We had been to this place on 28th Dec'20 to make it a combined outing-cum-learning experience, yet not far from Bangalore. our 9 year old learnt about Channapatna and the world famous toys during her school project last month. We wanted to show her the toys and also the work that goes behind as well. Thanks to other reviews on Trip Advisor on Bharath Arts & Crafts, it was worth every min & rupee we spent. First we went to the shop where the toys are sold. Though small in size, the variety of the toys and creative utilities made out of wood were pretty exciting & enlightening. My kid loved it every bit (she wants to visit again!). The place and the person who manned it were very friendly. Personally felt the price of the toys was reasonable. We were also encouraged to the factory - about 2 km from the shop - in 'Channapatna Toys Center' that is coming up. Once in the factory, we were greeted by Mr. Srinivas who explained about the wood used in these toys and lacquer used to color them. Then he took us to the lathe machines used to making toys. He enthusiastically explained with a spirited demo of making of a beautiful Top. My kid was in full awe at the way the colorful Top shaped up from what was just a block of wood a few minutes ago! Unless you are proud of your work, it is difficult to display such passion while showcasing it to an unknown visitor. Super experience. I wish such traditional toy making business flourish for generations to come. This place is a perfect weekend get-away for anyone in Bangalore or nearby places. More so, if you have a kid to accompany and learn.

Savandurga

Reviewed By himanshuayo - Phuket, Thailand

I have been here 3 times, reached the top twice. If you're going for the first time, do read this fully. One of the better treks on the outskirts of bangalore. The trek is roughly 3.9 kms uphill. (as per my smartwatch) Tips: *This is a steep beginner-Intermediate trek which may take a rough 1.5-2.5 hours uphill and 40-60 mins downhill based on your fitness level. * Start early in the morning around 4 am if you wanna experience the best view. Really good sports/trekking shoes are a *MUST . Slippers/sandals are going to make it really hard avoid em. Barefoot is also okay as long as you're confident and not doing it during the day time(the rock starts to get really hot aft 12pm) *avoid during the rainy season. Few portions of the trek do get slippery n get fatal *Carry sunscreen, energy bars, 2 litres of water, a powerbank, (don't keep hydrating yourself unless you really need to, it'll only slow you down) though you'll find vendors selling butter milk, water, juice etc atop. Keep your backpack light. *Garbage bags are a must. Do not litter around this beautiful place. Carry your stuff all the way downhill *Have breakfast at the bottom before you start. The Locals provide you really good home made food. Do not start on an empty tummy. *There are white arrows painted on the rock to direct you, follow em all the way. Beautiful trek, Sundays are usually crowded try going on a saturday. Haffun, Safe trekking and DO NOT LITTER.

Nadi Narasimhaswamy Temple

Reviewed By Raghu_Mce - Bangalore District, India

The temple is very old as per the priest information, may be more than 1000 years old. Very powerful god who fulfils your wishes. One must visit this temple once for their trust. I liked it. Now the temple ahs been renovated slightly. toilet facilities are available. Concrete road, but only one car can pass through at any time.

Chunchi Falls

Reviewed By AkashMaurya - Bengaluru, India

This is a place which is near by to Bangalore and Good for a quick road trip. Roads are extremely good with your much traffic. I did follow Google MAP and didn't find and issue. I have started the journey from Silk board and was able to reach there in 2 hours and 30 mins with one tea break. Please make sure you are carrying food and water while you are visiting to the place. You can spend maximum 1 or 2 and then you are proceed to see Mekedatu Sangam. This place has ample amount of parking space. Make sure you applied sun cream before going to this place. Good place for nature lovers and who would like to click some good landscape pictures. This place is must visit once. After that follow to see Mekedatu Sangam. Please find Mekedatu review in my other blog.
