“Arrey o Samba, Kitne aadmi the re...,” these words of Gabbar Singh from the eternal superhit ‘Sholay’ still ring a bell in the ears of cinegoers of yesteryears.

If a day trip out of the city is all you have time for, head to Ramadevara Betta. The granite hills that saw the making of Sholay are just an hour’s ride away, waiting with an amazing view from the top. The slice of nature holds a rocky trek and sightings of endangered vultures at India’s only vulture sanctuary.


Located 55km away from Bangalore, Ramanagara is a small town in Karnataka. Ramanagara has many short treks that one can embark on,

The area is known for its unique and mesmerizing beauty which has also been highlighted in a couple of Bollywood movies. The landscape of the area also makes it a favorite destination for enjoying adventure activities such as trekking and rock climbing. People can enjoy the moderate as well as difficult trekking in Ramanagara, which offers a diversity of rugged terrain and tricky routes. These treks are perfect for the weekend as climbing up doesn’t take up much of your time, unless you like to take it slow.


Located on the banks of River Arkavathi, the area of Ramanagara is covered with rocks and granite hills and is home to several species of endangered birds. Apart from trekking, people also come to this small town to enjoy rock climbing. While the compact hills make for excellent trek, the seemingly vertical rock faces quench the thirst of people for enjoying technical climbs. The amazing views of the sparsely vegetated surroundings that participants encounter while enjoying trekking or even rock climbing makes them feel relaxed and even rejuvenated.
