Billigiri
120 Kms from Mysore & 247 Kms from Bangalore, the Biligirirangana range of hills are picturesquely situated between the Cauvery & the Tungabhadra rivers. At a height of 5,091 feet above sea level, this hill stretches from north to south for about 16 Kms. All round are deciduous trees. And roaming amidst the long grass and tall trees are animals. Plenty of them! So if you're looking for a cool time with a little bit of wild excitement thrown in, welcome to B.R.Hills. Wake up to the chirping of birds & humming of bees. Breathe in fresh, clean air. Take a stroll through the sylvan surroundings. And let the cool breeze blow your cares away. As the day quietly slips into night, watch the stars come out, one by one. The moon casts a silver light. And some where in the distance you hear a tiger roar. How close you are to nature and how peaceful life is here! you just imagine.
September-May.
