Sri Chenna Kesava Temple in Belur is an architectural masterpiece under control of Archeological Department . A must one to see in Belur. It is one of the Hoysala Temple in the Belur Region. The sculptures and carvings are mind blowing, Can you Imagine? We can see the modern fashion details like hairstyle, jewellery designs there in the temple Sculptures which was constructed in the 12th Century, Mind Blowing. We were visited Belur Temple during our Chickmagalur Family Trip, Hired a Guide, Enjoyed lot. To know the history and details of sculptures there, atleast one should spend half day there, Hiring a guide will be better to know the details of the structure and temple.

The temple is on the hillock with breathtaking views around. Its a jain pilgrimage with large monolithic statue of lord gomateshwara( dedicated to Jain figure Bahubali), a arduous climb of 300+ steps to reach which is worth a visit. People with heart issues if visiting need to take this climb slowly and take care.

Belur is amazing and well worth a visit as the carving is wonderful. It ranks with place like Angkor Was and should be on more itineraries. Halebid is more inside detail and choose the former if pressed for time

Temple was another architecture wonder at its own level. Ofcourse you can't compare it with Belur or halebeedu. The priest comes to the temple after seeing visitors for doing pooja as he stays in opposite house. Overall had very nice dharshan of the lord. Parking will be a problem on crowded days.

Easy hike with multiple Jain temples. Lot of history. Last place of chandraguta maurya. Make sure to go to the cave besides the temple complex and meditate for 2-3 minutes. Feels good. You need to climb the hill without shoes - hence carry socks to save u from blisters!

This is a small temple surrounded by greenery, much like most of the small temples in Ghat hills. I heard from our guide that this is 800 years old temple. Trek next to this temple is a easy one and the hill is named as Pandavara Gudda - it seems Pandavas had passed through this gudda (hill) during their vanavasa period. Trekking is easy and beginners can have a good experience trekking this!! P.S: Kindly do not litter and also educate others who litter
7. Bisle Ghat View Point

The viewpoint is a must-visit if you are in and around Sakleshpura. I reached there on a Thursday and that too at around 9 am. So the place was not crowded only a Pre Wedding Photography was going on so there were only 5 or 6 people other than us. Any place which offers you a great view and brings you closer to nature should be experienced without much headcount and so my suggestion is to be early birds and watch the ghat view and cool your eyes. Kukke Subramanya temple if few odd kilometers drive from here. The viewpoint entry is bang on the main road so you won't miss it. Park your vehicle properly as the entry point is at a road curve.

The drive to this waterfall is amazing. One must park their cars on the road and take a short downward flight of steps to get to the falls. It has 3 levels and at each level you can enter the fall & touch water. Its not a huge fall but has a good flow of water & is clean. Since the area is around is quite narrow I would suggest going on week days as I feel on week ends it would be crowded not just by tourists but also by locals.
