Himavad Gopalswamy Betta















Gopalswamy Betta is a place, which is famous for its cool and fog weather.
This high hill place filled with vast greenery around. The cool and fog weather prevails in this place almost in all seasons. Those who visit the place would definitely feel relaxed and fresh. On reaching upon top of the hill, there you get to see series of green and beautiful mountains. One would definitely fall in love with lovely scenes and cool air of this place.
There is a temple of Deity Gopalaswamy. The mist of water always showers inside the temple and the priest sprinkles the water on to devotees.
There a wildlife sanctuary nearby, so group of Elephants would be grazing around, they could even be spotted sometime from the place where temple is located.
Almost everyone who comes here would like to spend as much time as they could but due to security restriction they cannot venture into forest place.
Even at tollgate they check of any eatable if the visitors are carrying which is not allowed. As per the security rule one has to return within 1 hour 30 mins.

It is best to visit the place in the early morning so one could get to see some clouds, feel cool air and flog around.
When we visited it was around 1pm and entirely sunny, but still we felt we were standing in an AC room.
The trilling part was to drive at this place. Though the road is not good it is small but enough walls have been built to avoid any incidents.
Though I was driving uphill for the first time, I did not find it difficult to drive. I was afraid at first but got the confidence and was excited as we slowly moved on.

I could say, one would find it thrilling while driving, find it relaxed, calm and cool once you reach the place.
