MM Hills or Malai Mahadeshwara hills

Malai Mahadeshwara hills fall in the Chamarajnagar district and were once the hiding places of Veerappan. The temple on the hills has special functions arranged here on hindu festivals. During the Diwali times, the place is lit up and the festival is celebrated with grand stupor and excitement. The water that flows around the temple emerges and dies down magically. Once here one can go to the Hogenkal Falls nearby which is hardly 45 kms away in the south. Before climbing the MM hills one passes by Koudalli from where the temple is approximately 30 kms. One can reach the hill either by Mysore or Bangalore. One can either drive down or take public transport. The best time to visit this place will be November to March when the monsoons rains have just left everything green and fresh.
