It should not be. Lots of people visit the fort on national holidays as it is a tourist attraction.

Hi Sivam, Yes it requires a lot of walking and climbing to be done if you want to cover the entire place. The area is vast. However; we had taken along our grandfather who is 80 plus and our grandmother who is about 70 years old. They were able to ascend and descent slowly and saw a few places if not all. It’s a very beautiful location. Must visit if u can. Book the KSTDC approved guest house close by. The rooms are neat, the view at night is amazing and some decent food as well.

In my understanding, there are many good hotels and restaurants within 2 to 5 Km radius. I would also advice a visit to Laxmi tiffin house, which is walking distance- it is a pure south Indian joint, reasonably clean. As a general note vegetarian restaurants and joints are generally cleaner and better- but they may not look so!!.

its not a hill station. its a fort town. there is a national highway connecting Bangalore to Chitradurga.

Unfortunately there is only entrance. However one can do the tour of the left side of he entramce on day 1- the more interesting, comparatively better maintained and more visited than the other side. I went with my mother,a more enthusiastic soul than me. A way to not be exhausted is to visit the place at the earliest. Eaely morning makes it more comfortable and we can see more od the fort. Don't think twice before taking multiple short breaks. It's a place to breathe, stay and look around. Apart from the fort, the view of the large windmills and mountains around is also breath taking. Happy visit.

Answers to the questions that I am aware of 2. There is a Mayura yatri Nivas almost opposite to the fort and that can be one option for food. It is walking distance from fort entrance and you can see this from the fort 4. Entry fee is Rs.5 for adults above 15 years ( I visited few months back and hopefully this has not changed) 5. Chandavalli garden is around 3-4 kms from from the fort.
