Camping in Ramanagara

If you’re a trekker or a rock climber, you’re already familiar with Ramanagara. With several tall hills, it is home to some of the world’s oldest granite outcrops and the majestic Ramadevarabetta and Savandurga are popular locations for visitors. If you’re a movie buff, you’ll also recognize these hills from the iconic films, ‘Sholay’ and David Lean’s ‘A Passage to India’. 

Camping in Ramanagara at the foothills of these lovely monoliths is an experience in itself. With rugged rock formations as your backdrop, an open blue sky, and rich greenery, the landscape is a gorgeous spot to pitch your tent in. The evenings here are accompanied by a stellar sunset, bathing the surrounding hills in shades of red and orange. While you’re camping in Ramanagara, you can also find small hidden trekking routes or clamber up the short rock climbs.  After a fun day spent on these rocky peaks, settle down by the bonfire for some light stargazing. What makes camping in Ramanagara such a worthwhile experience is how convenient it will be to get here. A short cruise from the city, covering about 50 km, will have you coming up close to these massive bouldered hills. 

Love birds? Camping in Ramanagara offers you the chance to take enchanting pictures of the yellow-throated bulbul or the long-billed vultures. The short stretches of scrub forest are also home to numerous sloth bears. Ramanagara is also known as the Silk City, famed for its sericulture. 

So, pack your bags and head to this rocky heaven perfect for new adventures.
