Shankareshwara Betta is a small beautiful hill near
Kunigal and is situated about 86 km from
Bangalore. It lies on a road that deviates from the Kunigal-Maddur Road near a village called Santemavattur.
At its top is a small temple with a Shivling dedicated to Shankareshwara. Shivratri is celebrated here and special pujas are offered. One can have a charming view from the top of the hillock. The expanse of the lake below and the adjoining hillocks are interesting to look at. A small pool right in front of the temple is the most attractive feature.
