Kavaledurga
Kavaledurga is at a distance of 16 Kms. from Thirthahalli. It is 5056' above the sea level . there is a fort on the hill.
Kundadri
A great place for trekking. Is on the way from Theerthalli to Masthikatte at a distance of about 12 km from Theerthalli. A Jain temple is perched on top of the hill. The view from the top the hill is really spellbinding. Kundadri hill is in fact a single gigantic monolithic rock formation with various outgrowths. A rough stone paved path leads one to the top of the hill. Packing some light refreshments and moving on to ascend the hill would be really a great idea.
