About Kemmangundi

BANGALORE TO KEMMANGUNDI CABS

Kemmangundi or Kemmannugundi is a red soil hill station about 290 km from Bangalore and can be reached in a little over 5 hours via NH48 and SH24. The hill station is within the confines of the Baba Budan Giri Range which often covered in the beautiful mist and fog that are the essence of hill stations. The forest is quiet, beautiful and can be quite eerie at times.

The climate of this beautiful hill station is perfect for a weekend getaway from Bangalore’s smoke and traffic. Kemmangundi was chosen by King Krishna Wodeyar IV as his summer retreat, and the architecture and development reflect this.

As you ascend the mountains to a height of 1434 m above sea level, the scenery changes every few kilometres of the Ghats with the change in perspective. Stopping to appreciate the journey is what makes your trip great. To be able to do that, a self-drive car hire in Bangalore is the best way to travel.
