Heggunda can be easily dismissed as one among the thousands of underdeveloped villages in Bangalore rural district. But in terms of historical heritage and natural attractions, Heggunda stands out unique and attractive. According to records found here, Heggunda then known as ‘Pokkunda’ was an important city during the Hoysala period (1115 AD). Today Heggunda is one of the few places that still retain the rustic charm of the countryside. To the city dweller used to seeing endless rows of concrete buildings, hearing blaring horns and inhaling acrid vehicle exhaust, Heggunda offers an array of rejuvenating activity options: trekking, rock climbing, cave exploration, bird watching etc. And for those with a special interest in history and antiquities, there are herostones, ancient temples and inscriptions to admire and analyse.
