Ettina Bhuja Peak during monsoon

Ettinabhuja Peak is near Betta Byreshwara Temple, Bhyrapura in Mudigere, near Sakleshpur. Reaching the mountain involves a moderate trekking but reaching the peak would be a strenuous half an hour ordeal, climbing the rocky mountain.
Best time to visit is soon after monsoon. During monsoon even the foothills will be cloud covered. 
The temple is around 25kms from Mudigere, via Billur cross. From Sakleshpur it is around 40 kms via Hanubalu.
