Uddanapalli Betta, Technically in Tamil Nadu but close enough to Bangalore and Developed by Bangalore Climbing Initiatives.
Uddanapalli Betta is 60 odd km from the center of the city to the south Hosur. The climbs are best climbed early am or towards the evening. This area was first developed in Jun-Jul 2016 by Bangalore Climbing Initiatives, and currently has six routes and seven pitches, ranging from 5.8 through 5.10d.
Climbers have camped out here in 2019 and got into trouble with the local police. Getting Permission through a local or better still from the Police will help.
The hillock is not on private property, but the access is via private farms. The locals and local police issues on occasion. Negotiate your way out amicably.
Watch out for Snakes.
Head towards Hosur and take the right turn under the second flyover that comes up in Hosur, towards Rayakottai road. As you approach Uddanapalli from Hosur, the crag’s unimpressive north-east profile comes up on your right.
Drive into the village of Uddanapalli and take a right turn to approach the crag from its south-west side. After the turn off, drive for less than a kilometer until you see a school to your right. Park across the road and hike towards the crag.
If you see a power station to your right, you have gone too far. The hike takes you 15-20 minutes to the base of the climbs.
Honey Comb Nest (+91 9844010354) is a nice village style farm stay walking distance to the crag but bookings will have to be made in advance.
Tip - If you stay at Honey Comb Nest, the owners (Alex Uncle and Mini Aunty) have a very good relationship with the locals.
