Information about the places:
Gudibande Fort:
Gudibande is a 17th century fort built by local ruler Havali Byregowda.
The Palegar's fort and its encampments on the hill top of Gudibande are now in ruins.
There is the Rameshwara temple on the top of the hill. In the fort area, even today we can find many rocky passages, steps created on the rocks, water springs, storehouses for arms & ammunitions and storage cells for food grains.
The big grinding stone used for preparation of gun powder can be seen even now.
Gudibande offers Easy to moderate hiking opportunity.
Beautiful views of the city and Byrasagara Lake below, along with cool breezes make Gudibande a sought after destination.
