Kundadri Hill
Kundadri
A solitary hill crowned by a 17th-century Jain temple. You can drive most of the way up and enjoy views of Western Ghats cloud seas and sunsets.
This granite hill rises about 826 metres, roughly 15 km from Agumbe. A historic temple dedicated to Parshvanatha, the 23rd Jain tirthankara, sits on the summit, and tradition links the site to the Jain monk Kundakunda. A narrow road lets you drive near the top, then steps lead the rest of the way. Two natural pools lie among the rocks. The 360-degree views from the summit are excellent, making it a great spot for watching sunrise over the clouds and sunset. The summit is windy, so take care on the slippery rock surfaces.
