About Savandurga Sunrise Trek:
Savandurga is a massive granite monolith near Magadi, about 70 km west of Bangalore, and it is widely described as one of the largest monolith hills in Asia. The summit stands at roughly 4,000 ft, and the hill is made up of two peaks, Karigudda and Biligudda, with the Arkavathi river valley spreading out below. The trek is rated moderate and covers about 4 km, but long sections of bare rock make it feel more demanding than the distance suggests. This package runs as a night departure. Pickup points across Bangalore open from 11:30 PM, and the group reaches the base before dawn. After a short rest you start the climb at about 6 AM with a trek leader, so that most of the ascent happens in daylight on the rock slopes. The descent starts around 9 AM, followed by breakfast at the base and the drive back to Bangalore by about 10:30 AM. Check the page for the exact timings and for what each variant includes. Because the rock is smooth and very hot after the sun is up, start early, wear shoes with strong grip and carry at least two litres of water. A cap and sunscreen are worth packing. The slope is steep in the middle section, so go slowly, take breaks and follow the
