Trekking in Madhugiri

Known as ‘honey hill’, Madhugiri is a single hill that grabs the rank of the second largest monolith in Asia. This makes it a little more challenging than other trekking places near Bangalore. At an elevation of 3,930 ft, this beautiful hill has the ruined temple of Gopalakrishna at the top.

A series of doorways leads to the hill and this adds a certain quaint charm to the monolith.

The highlight is a rock dome on which stands a fort. Although the climb can be steep, the summit rewards you with a lovely panoramic view of the green surroundings and nearby rock formations.

The difficulty level is moderate to difficult but you emerge at the peak feeling as though you have tested your limits and emerged victorious.
