Makalidurga is around 60kms from the Bangalore and from 15kms Doddaballapur. Fort in the Forest and the picturesque of Makali Durga near Doddaballapur offers a whole range of thrills from bird watching and adventure activities. A ride down the lake at the foothills could be possible depending on the availability of coracles among the local fishermen. Adjacent to the well known religious center Ghati Subramanya, Makali Durga (fort) stands atop a huge granite hillock, which can be scaled in one to two hours. Once you reach the summit, 1,350mts above sea level, you come to the ruins of the fort that has history written all over it. You could just gaze at it or breathe in the fresh air infused with the invigorating flavor of lemon grass.
