If the hills are always calling out to you and you feel like you belong in the great outdoors, head straight to Savandurga. It’s a picturesque hill that has the Arkavathi river passing nearby through the Thippagondanahalli reservoir. Depending on when you leave town (we suggest early morning), you can see a whole lot more than just the river — stunning views of deciduous forests and the Manchinbele Dam. Did we tell you that you will be trekking up one of the largest monolith hills in Asia? Fuel up in one of the many eateries around for breakfast or lunch but be careful of distancing yourself well enough.
