A rocky hill with temple and caves
at the top are the attractions here. Though the major
crowd which visits is the one of pilgrims. This place
also interests trekkers and other nature lovers. Cave
exploration is a enjoyable experience. |

As this
place is being visited by thousands of visitors every
year, because of the prevailing ignorance the place
is full of garbage with plastic thrown everywhere. This
needs to be stopped. Not just in Siddara Betta, in every
place elsewhere.

| Being close
to the Devarayana Durga and the forest surrounding it
this place is a good place for a enthusiast bird watcher
as well. This stretch of land covering Channarayana Durga,
Devarayana Durga etc is the habitat of the Yellow Throated
Bulbul. |
