KEMPEGOWDA TRAIL

Kempegowdas - A historic tour retelling the story of the founder of Medieaval Bengaluru & his dynasty

A chieftain who dreamt of a treasure, unearthed it and built a brand new fort city! A son who strengthened the fort and set up watch towers around the city to safeguard his kingdom – the Kempegowdas of Bengaluru & Magadi have many tales to tell. This trail is a story of them and their achievements. 

In the Kempegowda trail, we explore the life and times of Kempegowda's family, their earlier settlements, origins, the bits and pieces of Bengaluru and even earlier times of the Gowdas.

From the early capital of Yelahanka, the trail takes one through some of the watch towers, then the old city of Bengaluru and  winds its way through a city museum that showcases city of those times, the lifestyles & achievements of the family in medieval India.
