The Kalwarbetta or Skandagiri sunrise trek is as famous for every true Bengalurian as the MTR hotel breakfast or Vidyarthi Bhavan Masala Dosai.   This peak of Skandagiri is situated near Chikkaballapura and around 70 kms from Bengaluru. How to get there You can take the Bengaluru Hyderabad highway, and instead of the by-pass, enter the road that is going to Chikkaballapura.   You will see a signboard that mentions Muddenahalli road after 2.6 kms. Muddenahalli is the birth place of Sir M Visweswariah the great engineer of Mysore Maharaja.   He is the architect of the KRS dam across river Cauvery, near Mysore.   2 kms down the road will lead you to Nandi Hills Chikkaballapura road.   Take a left turn towards Nandi Hills and after half a kilometre you get a right turn towards the only available road.   The museum of Sir M V will be seen to your right.   Take a right turn again and another 2 kms will take you to Kalvara village. A sharp left turn at the village leads you to the park
