Madhugiri Hill Fort Trekking (5.6km exiting tough trek)

Last updated on May 12, 2020 Leave a Comment

Trekking to Asia’s second-largest monolith

The Oxford dictionary defines the term ‘monolith’ as “a large single upright block of stone, especially one shaped into or serving as a pillar or monument.” And with the Madhugiri Hill, located approximately 100 kms away from Bangalore in the Tumkur district of Karnataka, being the second largest monolith in Asia after Savandurga, you can be certain it’s not going to be your average fort trek.
