The northern side of the Tungabhadra river lies the legendary land of Kishkandha. The birthplace of Lord Hanuman is situated on the top of the Anjaneyadri Hill that is a 575 step climb.
You may take a ferry across the Tungabhadra or take a vehicle over road. A temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and Rama sits on the top.
On the way you come across the Pampa Sarovar where Hanuman met Lord Rama as per the Ramayana.
After descending the steps, explore the village of Anegundi, known for its street art, cafes, and shops selling souvenirs. You can also try your hand at coracle rides, a traditional round boat made of woven bamboo, on the Tungabhadra River.
