Madhugiri

Madhugiri, in Tumkur district, is built around one of Asia’s largest monolithic hills, crowned by the sprawling Madhugiri Fort. The fort’s steep granite slopes and old fortifications make it a favorite day-trip trek from Bangalore, alongside nearby options like Channarayana Durga and the rocky outcrop of Siddara Betta. Known locally as the “honey hill” of Karnataka, the region also holds smaller temples and forest patches worth exploring for those extending their visit.
