The Second Largest Monolith of Asia - Madhugiri



Madhugiri is a town in Tumkur district in Karnataka. Madhugiri, or also known as Maddagiri. Madhugiri is famous for its giant rock overlooking the town and the fort nestling in its steep slopes. The giant rock is the second largest monolith of Asia. This monolith and the surrounding greenery of Madhugiri are the main attractions.

Madhugiri Fort is among the most beautiful hill forts built by the Vijaynagar dynasty. Many Jain Temples are also found at this place. This is an amazing historical place to visit for the tourists

Maidana halli Blackbuck Sanctuary is located 25kms way from Madhugiri. The black bucks are really gems of the spot. Tough they are sighted in groups, observing their behavior takes really good patience. Black bucks often provide a great challenge to photographers.
