About
Nandi Durga:
Horagina Betta meaning The outside hillock (Aka Nandi One), 65 kms from
Bangalore is one of the major hillocks on route to the Nandi Hill Mountain. Due
to the presence of Nandi Hills which is a popular tourist destination. Horagina
Betta has never been visited by trekkers. The peak hosts a very beautiful Lord
Shani-Eshwara temple. A nice drive from Bangalore and good trek makes Channagiri
an ideal destination for a day trip. Do carry lots of water and beware of the
naughty monkeys at the temple. It is 4724ft. (1440 meters) above sea level. The
terrain is very diverse, rocky at some places & evergreen forest on the slopes.
The hills are very rich in birdlife making it a very popular location for
birdwatchers and bird photographers. The evergreen forest patch on top of the
hill being a favored wintering location for many migrant species of warblers,
flycatchers and thrushes. The forest patch is also home for a relict population
of the Nilgiri Woodpigeon. A breeding pair of Shaheen Falcon, the resident race
of the Peregrine Falcon is also often seen here. The Malabar Whistling Thrush,
Uropeltid snakes and Pill millipedes which are otherwise known only from the
Western Ghats ranges are also found here. The hill slopes are the home of the
Yellow-throated Bulbul, a species endemic to the hills of peninsular India.
