    All about the Madhugiri Day Trek.

    Hello Travelers!

    Muddie Trails in collaboration with Monks on Wheels presents an adventurous day trek to one of the biggest monolith hills around.

    Madhugiri hill literally means Honey hill is located in Tumkur district with an elevation of 3930 feet. This gigantic hill is located at a distance of 120 Km away from Bengaluru and widely known as Asia’s second-largest monolithic hill.

    While trekking one can find doorways leading to the top, the rock is steep and exposed at certain points. This makes it a tricky climb in certain areas. The top is adorned by a Krishna temple and one can find views of smaller hills at a distance and vast swathes of agricultural fields. 

    Along with history and the stories, Madhugiri is also place is a famous spot for trekkers.


    Highlights of the Madhugiri:

    • Asia’s second-largest monolith Madhugiri Trek
    • Rock dome atop which stands a fort
