Savandurga Sunrise Trek from Bangalore :
Conquer one of the most magnificent natural wonders of South India with United Trips’ exclusive Savandurga Sunrise Trek from Bangalore. Rising majestically as Asia’s largest monolithic rock hill, Savandurga is a legendary trekking destination formed by two massive hills known locally as Karigudda (the Black Hill) and Billigudda (the White Hill). Perched at an elevation of over 1,200 meters above sea level, it offers an exhilarating blend of challenging night hiking, ancient fort history, and breathtaking wilderness.
Scale the massive sloping granite rock face under a magnificent starlit sky, navigating natural rock formations, safety rails, and historic 16th-century ruins of the Kempegowda-era fortress. Reach the summit viewpoint just as dawn breaks to witness a spectacular, uninterrupted panoramic sunrise casting golden hues over the sprawling Thippagondanahalli (T.G. Halli) reservoir and endless green plains below. Whether you are an avid trekker, an adventure junkie, or looking for an unforgettable weekend escape from Bangalore, this trek delivers supreme value.
