Description:

Get ready for an adrenaline-packed adventure with the Savandurga Trek from Bangalore! Standing tall at 4,220 feet, Savandurga is one of the largest monolithic hills in Asia. The trek promises an exciting challenge as you ascend through grasslands, dense forests, and steep inclines. Whether you`re looking for a thrilling Savandurga night trek or a sunrise experience, this trek will offer you a perfect escape into nature’s grandeur.

• The Savandurga range consists of two hills – Karigudda (Black Hill) and Biligudda (White Hill). The trek to Karigudda is steeper and requires permits, while the trek to Biligudda is relatively more accessible but still offers incredible views and adventure. The Savandurga night trek is moderately challenging and requires a bit of endurance, but it rewards you with mesmerizing views of the surrounding landscape at dawn.

For nature lovers, the Savandurga Lake and the nearby Savandurga Waterfalls are perfect spots to unwind and connect with the serene beauty of the Western Ghats. The landscape is a feast for the eyes with panoramic views, lush greenery, and an invigorating atmosphere. If you`re looking for a bit more adventure, Savandurga also offers camping opportunities along with the trek.
