About

Anthargange is about 4 km from Kolar, a small town once well known for its gold mines. It is equally a religious spot as well as a mesmerizing scenic area filled with adventurous caves. In two words – Caves & Temples. The hill range is about 4021 ft high. It’s one of the pilgrimage sites that will enlighten you with the vibes. The temple is sacred and has a water pool that origins in the spring. “Antharganga” means ‘innerspring’. It will take you almost one hour from the temple to reach the peak. One needs to be very careful around the monkeys in this area and should avoid carrying any food packets.

It’s not just the caves that are capturing but also the dense forests and peaks that will surely get one’s adrenaline rushing making it a once-in-a-lifetime experience!
