Bisle Ghat & Viewpoint
Bisle Ghat is a scenic mountain pass located about 20 km from both Subramanya and Sakleshpur town, nestled along the route connecting these two destinations in Karnataka. Part of the Western Ghats, it lies on the border of Hassan and Dakshina Kannada districts. This ghat is renowned as one of Karnataka’s top adventure spots and a must-visit among Sakleshpur tourist places.
The famous Bisle Viewpoint, situated around 5 km from Bisle village, offers stunning panoramic views of three majestic mountain ranges — Kumara Parvatha, Pushpagiri, and Dodda Betta. A deep valley with the Giri River flowing through it separates the viewpoint from these peaks, creating a breathtaking natural landscape. The forest department has set up a shelter here for visitors to relax and soak in the beauty.
Bisle Ghat is also a haven for trekkers and nature enthusiasts due to its unique biodiversity. The nearby Bisle Reserve Forest is a protected area with no human settlements, preserving its rich and diverse flora and fauna. Travelers passing through may spot wildlife such as peacocks, monkeys, spotted deer, and elephants amidst the lush greenery, waterfalls, and streams.
