Ramanagara Granite Loop
Sholay country before lunch.
About This Tour
A half-day escape into the dramatic granite country that stood in for the badlands of Sholay. We thread out of Bangalore to Ramanagara's towering monoliths — a paradise for rock climbers and vulture-watchers — then loop through Channapatna, the centuries-old 'toy town' famous for its lacquered wooden toys, and the silk-cocoon markets that give this district its name. Easy roads, big rocks, and back in the city by afternoon.
