Savandurga is a jaw-dropping monolith hill rising to 4,022 ft near Ramanagara, just 60 km from Bangalore. Recognised as one of the largest monolith hills in Asia, its twin peaks — Karigudda (the dark hill) and Biligudda (the white hill) — offer a thrilling trekking experience with panoramic views of the Deccan Plateau. The 5 km trail ascends through thorny scrub and exposed granite slabs, rewarding trekkers with sweeping vistas of Manchanabele Dam, surrounding forests and the distant city skyline. After the adrenaline of the climb, unwind with water activities at Triquetra Resort — kayaking, swimming and team games set against the backdrop of the massive monolith you just conquered.
