Gopalaswamy Betta is a hill bordering Bandipur National Park. It is known for a temple built by the Chola Kings and later maintained by Wodeyar rulers of Mysore. Today, besides being a place of pilgrimage, it also sees many tourists coming to Badndipur National Park who drive up here to see a neverending stretch of of the forest from a high vantage point. It is not just humans who pay visit to the hill; elephants are frequently seen wandering atop in search of lush grass. Tiger sightings are also reported occasionally. While sighting wildlife has an element of luck involved, you can surely see a green carpet on the rolling hill during the monsoon and the winter months.
