Synopsis:

Narayanagiri is another monolith near Bangalore located at Jalamangala which is about 76 kms away. The peak is home to the temple of Laxmi-Narayana temple. It is green, rocky and serene making it an ideal weekend getaway. The view from the top is absolutely breath-taking and perfect for trekkers and climbing enthusiasts. If you are lucky you may find small water pools on top of these mountains. The water pool next to the temple may be contaminated by moss or plastic left over by the visitors. You may try to scale other smaller hills adjucent to the main hill where you may find the water pool fairly clean for a face wash. It is advisable to cary your own drinking water as there is no ediable source of water on top of the mountain.
