KUNDADRI HILL

Kundadri hill is famous for Jain settlement and offers one of the amazing trekking trials. This well-preserved land of Karnataka is home to 17th century Jain temple that is not much given to architecture. Two small silent ponds formed by the rock on one side of this temple leave you wondering at its presence on this height. Throughout the year you can find lotus flowers in the pool which is also a breeding ground for some fishes- both large and small, as you find in Tunga River adjacent to Sringeri temple. Once you are on the top of the hill, you can have a panoramic view of the entire surroundings. Many rivers flowing beside the foot of the hill and the distant backwaters of the Varahi Dam can be seen. You can even camp near the temple on the hill at your own risk.

BLACK Millipede

BLACK Millipedes are detritivores and slow moving.

Most millipedes eat decaying leaves and other dead plant matter,

moisturising the food with secretions and then scraping it in with their jaws.
