Cab from Hubli to Sirsi — about 115 km, 2.5 to 3 hours through Yellapur’s forest ghats into the Western Ghats. The Marikamba Temple, the twin rock towers of Yana, the Sahasralinga carvings on the Shalmala river and the ancient Kadamba capital of Banavasi — a temple-and-nature day at its best.

Route facts
The Hubli–Sirsi run, from drivers who do it weekly
— 01
The route
Hubli → Yellapur → Sirsi. Forested ghat road most of the way — cool, green, and easy in a car.
— 02
Marikamba Temple
One of Karnataka’s largest Marikamba temples, in the heart of Sirsi town — the usual first stop.
— 03
Yana rocks
The two massive black karst peaks (Bhairaveshwara & Mohini) sit in dense forest, ~25 km from Sirsi with a short trek from the road head.
— 04
Sahasralinga
Thousands of Shiva lingas carved into the Shalmala riverbed — a short detour, magical when the water is low.
— 05
Banavasi
The 4th-century Kadamba capital and its Madhukeshwara temple — history lovers should add it (~25 km).
— 06
One long day or two
Marikamba + one of Yana/Sahasralinga fits a day. To do all four plus Jog Falls nearby, stay a night — bills 300 km/day.
A day trip is about ₹3,900 by Sedan (300 km minimum + batta). Ertiga ≈ ₹5,100, Innova Crysta ≈ ₹6,400.
About 2.5 to 3 hours for the 115 km via Yellapur’s ghats.
Marikamba plus one of them, comfortably. All three plus Banavasi is a full, rushed day — an overnight is better.
Yes — Jog is beyond Sirsi on the same side. A Sirsi + Jog two-day trip is a great combination; ask us to plan it.
