Chamundi Hill rises 335 meters above the city of Mysore. The temple of patron Goddess of Wadiyars, known as Chamundeshwari, can be approached by climbing 1,000 stone steps that climb up 335 meters. This Goddess is the household God of people and Kings of Mysore. Half way up the steps that lead up to the temple, is a giant 4.8 meter sculptured black Nandi Bull. It is quite the cultural experience to climb up these steps, and there is a magnificient view of the town of Mysore from near the top of the steps. We climbed these steps with our parents and Granddaddy who is an avid geocacher back in Washington State.
The beginning of the trail can be reached by driving south from the famous Mysore Palace and following the signs to the "trail with steps" There is parking at the beginning of the trail and a watchman who will charge a few rupees. Enjoy.
Now, concerning the cache. The steps are numbered by the 100's, as engraved in the stone step as you ascend. There are many monkeys to enjoy along the way. When you reach the glaring white small mauseleom on your right, you will see a stone wall on your left. The cache is in the stone wall, about 20' from the trail.
Beware of muggles and prowling monkeys. Please hide the cache exactly as you find it. We are offering you a generous hint. BYOP. ,
