"Jogimatti" an unknown treasure in Chitradurga. It is never less than any hill station in Karnataka. It was so hot untill you reach this place. After reaching there it was an wholesome experience. They charge around rupees per person and it takes around 30 minutes to reach hill top while the roads to reach there are very bad filled with pot holes. Ignore the roads and reach the most beautiful destinations in Chitradurga. After you park your vehicle you have to take around 100-150 steps to reach top of the hill where an beautiful landscape is present. You will just love the view with 360° landscape filled with greenery and windmills. The windmills planted on mountains add extra beauty. There is an temple and watch tower too on the hill top. Also while coming back you can visit the zoo where you can spend around 2 hour of your time.

A very beautiful place to escape from buzzing of city life. During rainy season, it's awesome. In winter it's amazing. In summer, full wind. So it's all season place to visit. Entry fee here is 25 Rs per person and 50 Rs for car. Roads are bit narrow, but not that difficult to drive. It's better if you carry eatables. Please keep the environment clean.

Beautiful green hill station destination of Chitradurga. During our visit it was covered with clouds and drizzle, making the visit even more memorable and chilled. Closing time for visitors is 12 noon. Magnificent green views of surrounding landscape. Two view points on the hill top, about 1.5 kms apart. At its highest point, Jogimatti measures about 1114 mtrs above MSL. Ahobala Narasimha hill temple is seen in the vicinity but by road it's nearly 25 kms off.

Jogimatti forest in Chitradurga is a nice high altitude place where we went around 7-00am in morning to experience fogging weather with beautiful sceneries. We could not see any animals except deer. Anyway, forest plants are retained with much conservation of biodiversity in the area. We went around hillocks and valley to have an amazing and fabulous views.

Super cool. Windiest. Over 2000 acres of green forest. Lovely view tower. 6am to 9am is an ideal time to visit. During or soon after monsoon is more beautiful. No public transport. A small eatery at the gate is handy but serves breakfast only on Sundays!

We had travelled from tumkur for 2 hrs and reached jogimatti by 9.. We have entry fee of 75 per person from forest department and vehicle charge for car was rs 50.. Roads are little bumpy.. But the view was amazing and there is a small temple too .. Rightly called as karnataka's ooty.. Timings from morning 6 to 12pm.. Best place to visit for one day.. On the way to jogimatti we have hidden water falls ( Himavath) forest department has put sign board.. But it's inside forest and can't travel in vehicle we need to take long walk so do not go alone. Please go in a group.. During non rainy season it might not look like water falls.. But beautiful place to visit.

Amazing place to hang out with family and friends. One should experience the watch tower view whole jogimatti forest view can be experienced. I went with my parents and they loved the place by being there. Morning os the best time to experience the fog here.

It is a very cool foggy place near Chitradurga. We visited in monsoon season so it was full of fog and chilling. The road is very bad, I wonder what the first department is doing with all collected money. They charge ₹35/- per head as entrance which is slightly higher compared to other tourist places. On weekends it's too crowded. There is also a zoo nearby that you can visit, limited animals like bear, cheetah, parrots, peacocks, deers and jackal being main attractions. Suggest to go early in the morning by 6 am to cover both places.

Very nice place to visit morning, it is a most beautiful nature place, I am really enjoyed that place jogimatti it's look like chikamaglur forest, best place for hangout in morning there is some restrictions to dslr cameras, check in place to view point off road experience was awesome, Best time to visit 6:30-8 am, Parking facility,

Best place to enjoy the nature at its best. Do reach as early as 6 Am to enjoy the sunrise. Need to buy tickets at the entrance. Request people not to litter at this place. Few steps are there to reach at peak. Even you have view stand. They have also made a hut where we can sit and have food which we have got.

Beautiful green hill station destination of Chitradurga. It's like same as nandhi hills

Drizzle with excellent beauty of nature.fantastic while raining. Not open on Tuesday Entries fees collection at toll 50 rupees Nearby hotels Nisarga hotel before you approach toll

Coolest place with fresh breeze every moment. Mesmerising view.

Jogimatti (Kannada: ಜೋಗಿಮಟ್ಟಿ) is a hill station]] and forest reserve in Chitradurga district, Karnataka, India. The reserve covers 10,048.97 hectares (38.7993 sq mi) in Chitradurga, Holalkere and Hiriyur taluks, 10 kilometres (6.2 mi) south of the city of Chitradurga. There is a century-old hilltop bungalow built by the British to house travellers, and a nearby temple dedicated to the local saint for whom the hill station was named, with 155 steps. The reserve has a small zoo called Adumalleshwar, which the Central Zoo Authority of India ordered renovated in 2012 to better house the animals,[1] and an ecotourism adventure centre which opened in 2010.[2][3] A waterfall called Himavatkedara or Himavatkedra has created a natural cave in which a Shiva lingam and idols of Veerabhadra and Basavanna have been placed.[2][4] Jogimatti is the highest point in the district, at 3,803 feet (1,159 m) in elevation,[4] and one of the coolest places in the state. The vegetation is dry deciduous forest and scrub. It is rich in wildlife[5] and until the 1950s was tiger habitat, but is threatened by encroachment from farms and from nearby windmills, which endanger birds. The tigers and sloth bears are reported to have almost died out, and the medicinal plants found in the reserve are endangered.[6] A proposal has been made to declare it a wildlife refuge.

Beautiful place to see sunrise. Beautiful view and nice environment 😍. Loved the place

It has been closed since 20 days please Don’t make any plans to visit this place till May 2022 because it’s going to open in the month of May 2022

This is a beautiful place to enjoy nature and the landscape. The road is not well maintained and it takes a long time to cover the distance to the top, but once there, the view is breathtaking. Probably the best time to visit would be early morning, but we went in the afternoon. Luckily it was cloudy and very pleasant during our visit.

Writing this review on 12th December 2021. It's a pretty nice place to spend with friends and family. Maybe early morning time is good. Road to this place is horrible, it's a narrow lane and road is in pathetic condition. Locals said that they have notified the government authorities. Maybe it takes its own sweet time. It may take close to 40 mins to travel up. There is zoo, fort is near by. Hope it's helpful

Camera fee SCAM!!!! Since this is the highest point in the district, it is covered with fog till 8-9am. Visited during September. Narrow road with great views on both the sides. Try to stop by enjoy the scenery. The scam that I experienced was the fee for DSLR (18-55mm lens) cameras. Paid Rs 400 for that. Make sure that you only take the camera out after you cross the entry gate. There's no one to check the tickets later on.

Less than 10Km from chitradurga city. Narrow and curvy, potholed road which takes u to the hill top. U have nice view and can take few pics, nothing else other than this.

Best place for photoshoot

You have to reach this place befor 8 or max 9 or else its waste. Road is very small and not maintained well ticket is 35rs. Ovearall a good place if you get a chance to see fog. You have to climb 300 steps which is very good and easy it's is no plastic zone. Dustbin are there almost every 100 steps.

To all those one want to experience hill station towards NH 4 , you can have a stop to JOGIMATTI,chitradurga. Nice place with cool weather. Apt time : Pre monsoon or post monsoon.

It's a good place in monsoon season to visit in early morning and enjoy for some time and here you can visit a mini zoo also. You can plan early morning for Jogimatti and then Fort and after that you can relax in Chandravalli / Murughamatha All places are having entre free of Rs 25-30 Here you can plan for one day trip accordingly. You can experience a simple trek also..

I visited in July month When u visit this place u want go before 7.30 am Because fog available when u go out of 8 then it will go Greenery places So good and traveling And in Chitradurga is so good

Must visit place near chitradurga. Heaven on earth experience. Road to view point is single narrow road and is not good.Otherwise great place to spend time with friends and family

I love this place

We reached area before 7 am and parked and climbed up the stairs to the watch tower and valley view hill top. Fog and wind speed was high was chill felt. Carry jackets caps and warm clothes for cold chill winds.

Little ooty in karanataka 💖😍

Fantastic

Nice hills in Chitradurga it's like a malanaadu climate

Very good location

This is the best place to visit early morning because heavy snowfall and wind breeze can be seen and only private vehicles are allowed to enter

A cool place in Chitradurga, which is normally known for hot weather. Early morning is ideal time to visit this place. Narrow and bumpy road, better to carry enough water and food.

Super

Road to this place is not so good.. however the view is awesome .. plan to be early morning here to enjoy the view .. zoo will be closed on Tuesdays..

It is like mini ooty during monsoon, u should visit during early morning, u can enjoy the seen then go to adumaaleshwara it's like small zoo and have breakfast and enroute to chitradurga fort

It’s a beautiful place to hangout with family / friends I prefer people to visit it at around 6 in the morning nature will be covered with fogg and mist Say no to plastics Save wild life

Very nice forest around chitradurga.. very easily reachable.. and very strictly maintained...

Good nature

Love it

Peace, fog, mood, weather, cold, chill, nature, greenery, guest House,

Thorny bushes with thousands of birds , Worth a visit with nice pair of binoculars .

Beautiful hill station about 10km from Chitradurga. The top of the hill is windy and cool breeze mesmerises you. It is 1150m above from MSL. Hill is covered with sub tropical dry deciduous forest. Early morning it will be misty till 9am. Since we misinformed as it will open at 9am morning we were late to reach but actually entry was allowed about 7am itself. Road reaching the top is in bad condition and it is upclimbing takes half an hour to cover 10km. It is a ghat road that has very mild bends here and there. We were at checkpost by 9:15am and reached the top by 9:43am. By that time there was no mist but it was breezy. Forest officials will give entry tickets only till 12:30pm. Prices are very reasonable. Top of the hill has a temple dedicated to Jogi Siddeshwara. Also there is a watch tower just side-by to the temple on which you can climb. From the top of that tower view is awesome. I was so scary for first few moments on the top of that watch tower. Lot of people will come here for pre wedding photo shoots. Again don't judge the height just by the images, go and experience the real height.

Super..

Awesome place... western ghat of chitradhurga

Place is really osm but the road is very bad and their is a parking problem for car.

Adopt the pace of nature. Her secret is patience.

Rainy season it's awesome... Early mrng bike ride gv u a superb excitement...

One of the best place to be at, Amazing forest cover, Need to maintain the same and improve tree cover .

Fantastic place......

Loved the place , even in the afternoon. The steps , the scenic backdrop gives you a sense of joy and satisfaction. The near by zoo is very bad. People near the entry point of the zoo boost about all the animals that there. Sad reality is that you walk out of the zoo with a disappointment in your face. So, zoo is definitely not a recommendation

Nice sceenary a awesome place for photo graphy

Best place in CHITRADURGA BEST views

Good place.

Very beautiful place Full of greenery

Nice place full of Forest

Nice

Verry peaceful place to see nature closer.... please don’t go inside the forest without proper knowledge and please Iam requesting you not to through plastic bottles, chocolate covers and even a small peace of paper and plastic, let’s save our wildlife and good forest.... ನಮ್ಮ ಚಿತ್ರದುರ್ಗ ನಮ್ಮ ಹೆಮ್ಮೆ, ಕಾಪಾಡಿಕೊಳ್ಳೋಣ

A hidden natural beauty in the historical Fort City of Chitradurga. It is a forest reserve area, under the Forest Department of Karnataka, but one can gain access on arrival. A small nature preserve that everyone should visit, after the seeing & hearing the valiant tales that took place at the Chitradurga Fort!
