ON THE TOP OF BOULDER #smoking causes cancer

You live in Asia's pub capital, head out every weekend for a party and are probably tired of those sunrise points like #nandi hills which every single dude out here brags about. That's pretty much my story which made me and a few of my friends take this road trip.

On a fine Sunday morning we didn't plan but simply rented a #zoom car and headed towards Mysore road knowing in some corner lies Savandurga hills being completely unaware of the breathtaking views it would offer us. In a nutshell this is how a trip to this hill appears, you are going up road humming your favorite number from "dil chahata hai", and BOOM! a serene view of a dam, gigantic rocks with a boulder on top is waiting just to blow your senses.

Destination: Savandurga Hills (Distance 100kms) from Bangalore

can explore on the way:

1) Machinbele dam (distance 60kms) from Bangalore.

2) Ramanagara town, yup the famous SHOLAY was shot there (distance 80kms) from Bangalore.

3) And obviously the lakes and boulders you would find on your way. (refer the pictures above)

Total distance: 240kms

P.S: leave at probably 7-8am from Bangalore in order to cover all these places.
