Mallik Mujawar

The Channarayana Durga Trek is a fantastic option if you want a quick and significant journey. The track is just fairly difficult, which makes it perfect for novices with respectable degree of fitness. From Bangalore, we got going early, and everything—including transit to the trek—was smooth. This was an amazing trip with the panoramic views, dry forest roads, and ruins at the top. Booking through Thrillophilia simplified and controlled everything.

Dhanu Patil

From Bangalore, our trip on the Channarayana Durga Trek was incredible. The walk presented serenity, vegetation, and historical ruins to visit, hence the early morning start was quite worth it. The guide patiently told gripping tales from the past of the fort. Everything, including breaks and the return, was well-coordinated from pickup sites. Highly advised for a weekend dosage of culture and nature!

Anish Mehra

From Bangalore, our Channarayana Durga Trek was carefully timed and executed. Beginning early allowed us to savour the sights of the sunrise and learn about the history of the fort. Before we arrived at the top, we strolled via rocky paths, arid trees, and breathtaking countryside. Excellent approach to combine leisure, culture, and adventure—all within one day!

I had a great, easy trip booking the Channarayana Durga Trek with Thrillophilia. The pick-up was timely, and the whole timetable was kept in good order. The manual made sure we all maintained a consistent speed and was interesting. An excellent approach to discover the less well-known ancient treasures of Karnataka.

The Channarayana Durga Trek presented the ideal fusion of history, landscape, and moderate challenge. From pickups to escorting us over rugged terrain, everything was well-coordinated beginning from Bangalore. The 1.5 kilometre climb was absolutely worthwhile given the hilltop fort ruins and views. a calm, off-beat weekend getaway!
