Madhugiri Trek

Madhugiri Trek

Madhugiri Trek is one of the most spoken- about treks, among the treks in Karnataka. This trek is to the peak of the second-largest monolith of Asia. The highlight is the rock dome, atop which stands a fort!

Madhugiri is a town in the Tumkur district of Karnataka surrounded by the Thimmalapura forest. The name Madhugiri which means “Honey-hill” is borrowed from the Honeybee colonies that existed on a few parts of the fort which was constructed by Raja Hire Gowda in the 17th century.

The trek will take you through a plethora of historical structures; half-ruined and through three walls of defence or gateways, before you reach the topmost fort, unveiling extraordinary views of the town; the forest; a few small lakes and the surrounding hillocks.
