Savandurga is an adventurous spot and is located 60 kilometers from Bangalore on the Ramanagaram - Magadi road. Regular trekking, rock-climbing and leisure camps are conducted on the outskirts of the weekend getaways in Bangalore.

This is a monolithic peak famous for Rock Climbing. It is said to be among the largest monolith hills in the world. Rock climbing is great as a hobby and we say it's even better than visiting the gym.

Here we can see the thrilling adventurous activities. The people, who love climbing, will have fun in climbing in Savandurga. Here you can enjoy hill climbing and rappelling. Then you will get the advantage of exploring the cave which is the main attraction for the visitors. It is a beautiful place surrounded with lots of greenery. It has rich medicinal value plants and is also a house of deer, panthers, and snakes and is a very popular place for bird watching. This is the best place for one day outing Bangalore.

A note of caution for all the adventurers: The area is surrounded by dense vegetation, which provides good cover for wild animals. There are chances you might chance upon a leopard or a bear after dusk. Proper care should be taken and is not advisable to stay at the top after dark. Carry the essentials like water, food, a first-aid kit and a survival kit in your backpack. Exercise caution while ascending or descending and always move in groups: you never know when you require help.
