Monoliths

Madhugiri

Madhugiri, located in the Tumkur district of Karnataka, is famous for its massive monolith, the second largest in Asia. The town is steeped in history, dominated by the Madhugiri Fort built atop the monolith. It offers a unique blend of historical exploration and trekking adventure. Madhugiri offers a challenging trek with rewarding panoramic views. However, the trek can be strenuous, especially during the hotter months. The town itself is relatively small and lacks extensive tourist infrastructure, so expect a more rustic experience.
