Savandurga, near Magadi in Ramanagara district, is formed by two granite hills—Karigudda and Biligudda. The climb up the exposed rock face is short but steep, rewarding trekkers with wide views over forest and the Manchanabele reservoir. Visitors who prefer not to climb can visit the Savandi Veerabhadreshwara and Narasimha temples at the base.
