For railfans and trekking enthusiasts around SBC, Makalidurga will be a really good day trip.
I took the SBC DMM Memu from BYPL to MKL (Rs 15) to reach MKL. From there you have to walk for 1.5 km along the railway line towards DMM side to reach the start point of the trek. This is just beside the railway line.
Prior booking is needed in Karnataka eco tourism website for this trek (Rs 300). Total distance is around 4 km for up and down.

is easy and can be done in 4 hours.
No food/water will be available anywhere, so ensure to carry your own.
At the top one can get a nice view of the SBC DMM line.
I returned back in SSPN YPR Memu back to KDGH (Rs 10)
