Anjanadri Parvatha is said to be the birth place of Lord Hanuman. The hill is about 3 km west of Anegundi village.
A closer look at Anjanadri Betta. The hill is surrounded by plantain and paddy fields. At the top is a small temple and many monkeys.
One has to climb about 500 steps the summit. The climb is safe and quite easy because of the stairway right from the base all the way to the top. Close to the summit, there's a overhanging rock, one has to really bend low to go under it. The hill top is heavenly, refreshing cool breeze and beautiful sights of. Rashyamukha hill, green fields, Tungabhadra river and parts of Hampi. This is Rashyamukha Betta; on the boulder strewn surface a fort wall can be seen close to the hill top.
That's river Tungabhadra flowing through the valleys of rocky hills. On the left is Koppal district and on the right is Vijayanagara district (formerly Bellary district).
Plenty of monkeys live on this hill, in fact they hang around the temple. Tourists and temple visitors feed these monkeys with channa and other eatables. This well built monkey seems to be the leader of the group, other monkeys kept distance from him. He was sitting like this for quite some time, the position seemed to be relaxing. He was facing the temple entrance. In the background is Rashyamukha hill.
Anjandri is popular among Western tourists for sunsets views. During my two visits, I was a bit too late for sunset on the first visit. During the second visit, it was cloudy and it had rained some time back. Clouds obscured the sunset :(
Ravi and Malatesh relax after a hectic day.
This temple dedicated to Lord Hanuman and his mother Anjanadevi sits on a edge, a 60 feet sheer drop. The temple is managed by a friendly Baba and his disciples who live here. During my first visit, I saw a person having tea, its pleasant aroma in the air. I too wanted to have tea. I asked the Baba if we could get some tea. Yes, please sit down. A boy spread a mat for us and brought cups of tea. It was one of the best teas I ever had.
During both visits, Anjnadri Betta was our final destination of the days. Oh, both visits were on Saturdays, Lord Hanuman's day.

Hi, Please can you tell how to reach Anjanadri temple from Anegundi village. Thanks
Its one straight road from Anegundi village to Anjanadri hill and top of that hill is Anjanadri temple.
whether any road is existing or we have to climb the Hill through steps?
@ Lakshmi Sagar - no road to hill top, you have to take the stairway :)
Good info, Siddeshwar. Is there a place to park the car at the foothills (is it safe) & then take the steps to the temple? Thanks.
Parking is available after a brief ascent by road from the arch on the main road. The parking will be on a slightly inclined surface but no real concern.
You can also park the car on the State highway itself ( i.e near the arch ) walk the extra few hundred meters that are motorable if you wish, but not really required..
(And sorry Siddeshwar for taking liberty to preempt your answer)
@ Captain Flint - your comment is informative, perfect! Thank you.

There are government buses plying between Kamalapur and Anegundi. Also, there are shared or standalone auto-rickshaws at Anegundi.
