From parking its approximately 300 steps up to the temple. From there you can further go up the stone mountain through narrow walking trails. The mountain is extremely steep and good walking shoes is recommended. From top views are breathtaking and picturesque. Very windy once you are on top, so a light jacket will be good. Stay safe.

Beautiful place, completely green. The weather was awesome. Nature at its best. You need to take some 400 steps to reach the Hill top view points. There are some temples for Pooja. Nice place to spend your day.

Very pleasant place and relaxing get away very bear from Bangalore. The place is well maintained and prasadan there is so amazing. Would recommend to climb on top of the mountain to get some surreal views of the surrounding mountains.

Some 40 km from Kengeri, this hill is a great place for a day trip. The view from the top of the hill is outstanding. There is a Temple of Lord Rama on the Hill. Going there one needs to cover hundreds of staircase to reach the Temple. From the temple there is one more hill you can reach by taking a iron swing. But once you are up on the top the view in around is is so astonishing that you will feel like coming here time and again. When we came over here we didnt know that the place is so fabulous. After coming here only we came to know that it is so exciting and adventurous. The Vulture Sanctuary is also an added advantage.

Fantastic day fantastic view#best time to visit

Ramadevara Betta is pilgrim center for Sri Lord Rama devotees and this place is the only Vulture Sanctuary in India very close to Ramanagara the land of 7 hills or Silk City, 50 kilometers away from Bangalore.Lord Rama and Sita stayed here during their exile and established Shiva Linga for their daily prayers and also Lord Rama shoot an arrow to create pond emerged with water called Ramatheertha it has never dried up till now and no one knows depth of it. This location is best for a shorter trip with your friends or family members. There is an entry fee for all age group people and parking is available.

No facilities like food stall or clean toilets. No other facilities. Ramanagara is not a developed town. Always go in your own vehicle. Online taxis charge more and it will always show like intercity trip.This sight is nice to watch, good for photography and its only for the people capable to climb 400steps and rock.

Good place for a nice short climb. The temple at the top is also worth visiting, this place is quite historical. Scenic views too!

Very beautiful pleasant must visit place with temple on top of hill covered with green forest and a ultimate view point1) Timings 9AM to 5PM2) Small easy trek of 400 steps from foot to main Sri rama temple(Ramadevra betta)3) One more Hanuman gudi inside green dense forest towards left from main temple4) Little difficult only at last stretch of 20 steps to view point. Steps are made on standing rock with holding rails.5) Entry fees for 25rs per person and 4 wheeler parking 20rsCan spend 3 to 4 hours time inside soothing view of green.Also dont forget to taste famous bidadi thatte idli on the way

The entry to this place is closed on weekends and holidays to reduce the rush of people as the virus is still around. But one can still go near that place and hike to the nearby hills as the whole place has a bunch of hills which do not need an entry ticket like this sanctuary. It is good for you to spend some 2 hours.

The place was more than I expected to be.Suitable for weekend visit.. Driving distance from Bangalore town.. Absolutely no vultures are found during our visit.. A temple available in midway where we got free prasada (meals).. moderate level trekking..Lunch was provided in the temple when I had visited and the lunch was very good.And to reach the peak you have to climb the rocky steps which looks thrilling and the view from the top once you reach is amazing. It is the highest possible point of the place.Everyone are allowed to visit, but climbing the rocky steps with the kids would be little dangerous.Better to spend some time in peace at the peak. It will be a beautiful view to watch from the top.Entry time is at 9am till 5pm.Way till the temple has steps which takes almost 20 to 30mins .Parking spaces is good. Also there is a small fees which is taken at the entrance- for 1 person Rs 25 and for 1 bike Rs 10 and for 1 car it might be Rs 20.If you are planning to visit, do visit once. You will never regret visiting this place.

Beautiful place for a day out with friends and family. Very near to Bangalore. The place is well maintained and is peaceful. Delicious Food will be available from temple side at top on weekends and public holidays. The main attraction is the path way to 700years old hanuman statue.

Excellent place for a good trek. It all starts with just a few flights of stairs, but eventually gets slightly harder.Reaching the temple is eas as it is just climbing the flight if stairs. The temple is extremely clean and hygienic. Shoes or socks not allowed inside the temple, but plenty of space outside to sit, wander or explore.There are two paths from the temple. One is the challenging rocky path which is also slightly dangerous and challenging, but worth trying. This path leads to a beautiful viewpoint which one just cannot get enough of.The second path is also a rocky one, but is easier as it is a downward slope. Even little kids can enjoy their mini treks here. This path leads to a temple. This temple is said to be almost 700 years old. Even here there is a small viewpoint, but not as good as the former.Car parking available, officers available at the base in case of any emergency. Overall, a good place to visit for the spiritual weekend trek.

Its very close to Bang-Mys new economic express corridor, there is an entry fee for visitors, parking is available.. there are two temple in the hills n govt of Karnataka is proposed to have vulture century, but I didnt find any such birds..

Best experienceEntry fee for adults 25rs and parking charge depends on your vehicle

Totally Great Place out of buzzing city.But to travel amidst the roads was a big task once you reach there its a quite a serene place.Started the trip in the morning it was quite a trip for about 60kms from my home.Note:Entry fee is 15 or soRam Temple with lunch by some devotees offer.

Amazing getaway for bangalore and mysore folks.This is largely undisturbed as it a vulture sanctuary as well. (India’s only one of this kind.) We didnt check this out.This place is famous after the sholay movie shoot. Aint quite explore this place where the shoot was held as well..Rather we went straight for the trekking..There is an entry fee and a parking charge which need to be paid at the sanctuary entrance.Roads towards the sanctuary from the national highway is bitumen laid but quite narrow which goes through the village.So drive extremely careful. It did cross the new mysore Bangalore Highway project as well.Now at the parking spot, you wont find much development. Most of the visitors are for the Ram temple and Shiva temple a top. Its clearly not been a Go to place like nandi hills and there is a reason !!!U cannot drive 4 wheelers till the top.U need to climb almost 500 steps.. no park or chill-out places in between like what nandihills has on offer.One needs serious Ba**s for the last leg of the climb, only once this climb is completed, one can enjoy the sight.. and its marvelous.. and worth the climb.Out of hundred folks 80 might reach temple nd leave back.20 might reach till the last giant Vertical BoulderAnd out of 20, a 10 wont even think of attempting the climb a top..Out of last 10 an 8 might climb nd reach on top and make a successful Ramadevarabetta trek.Nevertheless, there are a large group of trekking folks with proper footwear nd accessories reaching the spot for the trek.Attaching few photos.

It is a nice weekend getaway from banglore.

Great place for hiking in d lap of nature..safe for kids but good pair of shoes r required.. ample car parking, odd 600 steps climbing for d temple area..nice view..further treak for hills climbing

Beautyfull and Good palce to visit with a family members

Very peaceful and serene place ! It’s a half day trip where you can enjoy with family and friends !It will be a nice trial .. climbing the hill and taking the blessings of the almighty along your way .The last trail might be little difficult for older people but definitely a challenging one for the young ones !Ample parking space and good restaurants shouldn’t be an issue as Mysore Road is highly commercial.Overall I recommend this place for a half day trip where you can definitely enjoy !

You should be here early morning or late evening to see the sunset. Otherwise its harsh weather, youll tanned completely.

Loved the place. There are 400 steps to reach Sri Rama temple from the base. Entire trek has scenic view. I would love to visit here again and again.

Best place for weekend , climbing up the hill is thrilling watching the vultures , and temple place of Rama is so mesmerizing that u fall in divine love for the Rama dirty inside temple

Temple premises should be in such a way that it should give you peace of mind and solitude which aptly describes this place. Serene, calm and peaceful.Please be careful about the folks at the entrance who kept on bugging us. Entry fee is 25/person and 10/two wheeler. If you are coming from Bangalore take a right turn at the big Hanuman statue at ramanagara junction and come straight till you reach the entrance gate.Few metres up the hill you will reach this place.You need to climb 400+odd steps to reach the main temple.There are multiple temples and locations you should visit at this place.A must visit place for all those who are looking for a peaceful weekend.

These hills are situated in ramanagram, karnataka, Bangalore. The roadway to this place is very simple and easy to ride and drive upon. Its called a vulture sanctuary but there was no vulture spotted. Theres a minimal entry fees to be paid and an ample parking space available.Theres a temple after climbing steps and theres a route carved on the stone of the hill itself to climb the hill and enjoy the breathtaking view.

Belived as one of the places Lord Rama visited. Beautiful scenic place. 2 small temples situated on the hill. Reaching hill top is short adventure trekking. Good place for short trip from Bangalore, can spend 2-4 hours ( to climb hill around 400 steps, visit temple, enjoy scenery, explore surroundings).

Its a short and easy trek for a great view. It has around 400 steps, followed by a steep trek with steps engraved into the rock, all this is totally worth the scenic beauty at the end of trek. Easily accessible via car or bike (theres enough parking available) and would be a great half day trip for any Bangalorean.

Cant believe its so awesome n so convenient to travel just beside Ramanagara city.. Name is Vulture Sanctuary.. hwvr its awesome godly hill station.. half hill car can go ..then hve to climb around 400 stairs.. its worth climbing as u get blessed darshan of temples uphill and breath-taking view from hilltop.. one can go with family n friends.. on holidays Prasadam is also arranged there..

Nature, once Lord Ram visited this place, nice view point

Clean n cool palce..Only 400 steps were there to reach temple.

A nice and small Trek. It has a thrill factor for 5 mins or so if you want a little craziness. View from the top is good and on a good day you can enjoy spending time on a rock. Carry some water and light snacks with you. Good to wear shoes

A nice place to trek and take a view of the outer areas of Bangalore from a height.The road to this place is broken at places and its a shame that it isnt repaired.The price to enter the area is 25 rupees per person and parking is available.The climb to the top has around 400 stairs and some rocky areas and is not a challenging climb.A nice place to go once.The shooting spot is located on the top

Surrounding the hill of Sri Ramdevra Betta, a new Sanctuary.The temple atop the hill has been feature on many YouTube travel logs. The sanctuary is new bit the temple is ancient.

A neat and clean temple at the height of around 300 steps. A good visit.

So went in afternoon it was to sunny so I recommend you guys to go early morning it will be good it is good place to visit you can enjoy if you trekking specialist it will be use full for you. Ramdevara betta is lyk little bit adventure you should be careful while claiming it. But non other then they have kept the place clean and good. And even the temple also in a such a wonderful location.😍

Nice place for trekking. You can see Abhayahastha Anjaneya, kote Anjaneya and Pattabhi Rama temples. There will be annasantharpanna on weekends.

It turned out to be the most ideal idea for a Sunday morning short trek!

Very close to Ramanagara town and much closer to nature, this wonderful temple hill under the jurisdiction of the forest department. The entry fee is Rs.25 per adult, Rs.10 per child and Rs.25 for four wheeler. The temple is open between 9 am and 5.30 pm. One has to alight some 390 steps to reach the temple and trek for another 10 minutes to reach the summit. It requires some 20 to 25 minutes of climb to reach the temples from the parking lot. The summit provides breath taking views of the forest which lies behind the hills. Though there is a lot of tree cover and the walkway is always covered with tree shade, recommend this place to be visited on a cool day.There are two main temples and various other smaller shrines. The two main temples are dedicated to Sri Ram and Shiva and most of the smaller shrines house various postures of Anjaneya/Hanuman and Ganesha. A great place to visit for a half day trip from Bangalore.

Entrance to the place is at 9 a.m. Youll have to bear parking and entry fee. short trek/hiking to viewpoint. Usually a crowded place during weekends. Youll get to witness both city and forest viewpoint. Carry water bottles and please do not litter the place and be a responsible traveler.

Great trekking place. I will reckon it easy only.Few tricksMany bloggers / reviewers suggest that the last phase is 90 degrees and very risky, which I personally dont feel is that steep and risky. So, dont go with a prejudiced mindset.Whether you are small or elderly, thin or fat, light weight or heavy weight, it really doesnt matter. I saw here a 7 year child climbing up confidently and a very obese person as well do the same.Those who are regular trekkers find no difficulties here. Those who are beginners, just concentrate on one step at a time and dont look up or down while on the staircase (iron made) - keep your focus on each step and within 5 minutes you cross the staircase and reach at the top. Do not stop intermittently.We didnt find any monkeys here, so I would recommend you to carry food and drinks and enjoy at the top.Do not litter or smoke or drink alcohol are the instructions provided by Karnataka tourism police personnel atop.If you want to have more adventure in this trek, I would recommend u to follow the right side board near temple, where there is a pond, which mentions 700 over it. Please excuse me about the description on this board (as it is written in local language, I am not sure what the board reads). You can go to the base of the mountain near to the entry gate by descending down from here. You will also find mango farm (aamrai) from where you have to go towards left. Continue till you find the forest officer check post and then again go from left of this post to reach the tar road near entry gate.Please note: Entry starts only at 9 am, so no need to start at 4 am or 5 am from Bangalore. From central Bangalore, it took us 2 hours to reach at the Ramadevaraya betta gate. So, u can enjoy extended sleep when you plan for this trek.

Great place for a day out. Ideal (less than 2 hours) drive from Bengaluru city.Note: Exit Mysuru road only when you see the big Hanuman/Anjaneya statue on the right, then the drive is hassle free.Monsoon - is possibly the best time to visit because of the greenery all around. Luckily it was just the right weather when we visited, not very cloudy and a bit windy. There is ample parking and the parking place has nice sit outs if one plans to picnic (without littering though). The climb to the temple is around 400 steps and can be easily done in 15-20 minutes. The temple serves prasadam (rice, sambar, payasam) every Saturday and Sunday for free - one can even sponsor one of these by paying 5k. From the temple, around 100 steps uphill will lead to an amazing view. Up till this viewpoint, even smaller kids can make it. Beyond that, the steps are a bit slippery, but not difficult. Theres a small diversion thereafter, one can choose to go the right hand side to climb up a smaller hill, from where one can get the view of the temple and again a great panaroma. Climb is not difficult. However if one chooses to go left, thats the way to the hill-top with steeper climb. Steps are carved out along with railings, but the steps are quite long, making it difficult for kids and shorter folks to climb (down more than up). Again, still not difficult for many. From the hill-top, the view is epic. Also loved the cacti all around and a small water body on hill-top.Note: the moment you enter the parking, a lot of kids will start begging, one feels sad and tries to help but these kids take advantage and even go to the extent of misbehaving.

A very peaceful place with cool whether and the wind passes through the trees is too cool. my trecking experience is too cool but ve care ful while reaching the top of the hill. Over all a good place to visti with family and childrens.😊

Its very nice place

Ramadevara Betta is so near by to Bengaluru.Can go hear for half a day trip.There is a entrance fee like per person 25/- and for two wheeler 10/-Around 400 steps to reach the temple of Rama, they provide luch which is happy thing😁.From temple to viewpoint you need to climb the mountain which is so beautiful, amazing and more fun. Hard climb but worth for the view 👌. And there is also Hanuman temple which has 700 years old history.

This was a place on my wishlist for a while. Went there with kids and we had a great time.It is part of the vulture sanctuary but didnt see any :-) There is ample parking space at the bottom of the hill.The climb to the Patabhi Rama temple is a good 300 steps and its not very easy if you are not fit. The temple is beautiful, we have a lord Hanuman, Patabhi Rama and Rameshwara temples at the mid-way of the hill. On weekends and holidays the temple is open 9 am to 5 pm. You also have anna dasoha or lunch PrasadaFurther you can climb up to Sugreeva temple. The final climb is pretty steep with steps carved out of the hill itself.One can spend a good few hours hereThe views are wonderful from top of the hill. Recommend that you go there early in the morning. We were there in afternoon but still enough shade to not get too tired.

Beautiful place to visit..

Located at hour ride/drive from Bangalore, this place is best for short and easy trek and quick morning getaway.... Easy trek to top of the hill, wont take more than 30min. There are around 400 steps to climb, followed by walk through trail and short climb on rock to reach the top. Usually its windy and offers clear good view... This place opens at 9am and closes at 5pm. So time your visit accordingly.

Love this place! Trekking, hiking... worth the time!! Go for it sure! But no Vultures found when I went in October.

Its a must visit place for short trips from bangalore. Only one tip- while following Google maps dont take the turns before ramnagar gate,its very narrow route , rather go till Big Hanuman Statue and then take turn. This road is wide and open and leads straight to ramnagardevabetta. You need to take water and some snacks for refreshment. Its beautiful scenary around when you reach top of the hill..

It is a small but nice trek. People can visit the place in the morning. It opens at 9 am. There is a very nominal entry charges for people and vehicles.

Superb place we can c the high mountains and we can enjoy but we need to climb the mountain around 400 steps we need to climb to visit temple and for beautiful moments

Ramadevara Betta or Sholey hill is very famous trekking place near Bangalore. Its 50 km from Bangalore and nice weekend gateway. Also its a Indias only Vulture sanctuary. There are few temple in the hill. Entry fees - 25 per person. Parking available. Top view is very awesome. But reaching to the top last 50 steps is very risky. Wear proper sports shoe.

A easy trek about 400-500 steps, a great scenic view from the top

Nice place to visit. The entry fee is 25/- rs. Per head. You can view all hills in ramanagara. Best place to visit with friends. Last trek point to the pick is bit scary.

Its good place visit place for truking and lord Sri ram dharshana along with 700years old hanumantha that to North facing with garudagambha hear only we can single stone phatabhiramchamdra after badhrachalam temple ....And one more to say pls *avoid plastics*

Beautiful place, great climbing and stunning views! there is also an area for rock climbing

Suitable for weekend visit.. Driving distance from Bangalore town.. Absolutely no vultures are found during our visit.. A temple available in midway where we got free prasada (meals).. moderate level trekking.. Carry enough water since no shops are available in the premises.. entry fee is 25 per head and rs 10,20 for parking of bike and car respectively..

The best , indeed its heaven

Its amazing 😁😊😍

Best place for the beginners who start the trek. Amazing view point ,their is a temple at the top,they server food at afternoon every weekend and on public holidays.Entry time is at 9am till 5pm.Way till the temple has steps which takes almost 20 to 30mins . Next to the view point is a bit difficult to climb. Parking spaces is good. Entry fee 25rs for adult and 10rs for 2 wheeler.

Must place to visit. So many picturesque landscape 🌆

Beautiful place near to banglore... Most beautiful especially in rainy season🌲🌱🌳

When i went there on Sep 5th 2021 with Family by driving over 60 km. They not allowed us to enter, Mentioned that its closed on weekends. However there is no information mentioned anywhere. We tried moving around the place just before. but Locals forced visitors to leave!.There should be mention on these changes. Please dont travel there on weekend. Anyways seems a good place, may visit later.

Great trek.The temple is amazing !!!!

One of the best place to nature seeing.Very close to nature, having lot trees.Maintained by Forest Department, Govt. of Karnataka.

We did not see any vulture, and chances are, you wont either. Any other name - Nature Park, Sholay Park, Jatayu Park - would have been good. The mesmerizing beauty of the landscape is best enjoyed with little or no expectations. The twining of temple and nature works best. But this site has far more potential. Hand it over to any competent agency for the long-term, and they will be able to spin myths and money.

Have been here twice, and can comfortably call it the easiest and a beautiful hike around Bengaluru. Made famous by the Bollywood film Sholay, the rocks are worthy of Gabbar. 2 temples at 400 step mark. Go early morning for best feel.

Nice trekking point within 50km from Bangalore. The iconic Sholay movie was shot here. The trek is pretty good and the challenge level is moderate. Better to carry food and water along as there is nothing available. It opens only at 9am so going before wont be helpful. There is a temple at top and further trek takes it to the top were the view is awesome. I didnt find a single vulture though its named as a vulture sanctuary.

Nice place very beautiful scenic view from the top

Nice trek. Little difficult for elders to climb the last leg. The view is beautiful and the path is filled with trees and shade. There are a few temples en route as well. If you reach here early morning or during the evenings, you can spot few vultures which live nearby.

Go early as we can see vultures, it opens only at 9 am. Weekend and public holidays there will be food arrangement in temple.

Refreshingly Good

Trek to the top of the hill is easy and the view there is really good. Good to visit after the rainy season to see more greenery. An easy recommendation for a day trip from Bangalore.

Moderately tough to climb for persons above 60 years...nice place...clean air,may keep aside face masks for a while...green in patches but hill tops around are mostly bald i.e without trees.Overall,nice place to visit.

This place is really nice specially for those who wants to test their body :d. Not too hard track but difficult for few, like me, who doesnt do much activities. View is awesome. And temple offer free food once you reach to temple. 😬Washrooms need serious attention from government. If with 25 rs per ticket is not enough to maintain washrooms hygiene, please convert washrooms to pay and use washrooms. Think there is even no water to wash hands in washrooms. One can imagine why it needs 4 lines to get attention, specially go corona go still on.Ill add some videos and photos later.

Very beautiful place for family andSpecially for hindu🚩🚩🛕🛕

A Very Good place to explore lots of things.. multiple spots to wonder... Nice view and excellent trekking experience

Nice cozy place for a small group of friends.. nice and easy way to the top... Only problem is that it doesnt open till 9

Nice place super experience

It was a good experience visiting this place, the environment is well maintained. Good spot for a beginner level trekking experience. Only difficulty is the steep rock climb, have to be careful while coming down.

Beautiful place with scenery around..... Clean and well maintained place👌👌👌✌✌

Approaching road from.main road to mountain 🏔️ is not good, needs improvement.Good trekking track, worth going.

There is a temple. And a short trek from there to reach the hill top. We can reach the temple through steps. There is parking facilities in this place.The view is great from the top. Full of green view, which relaxes a person.

Good for trekkers but do not expect any restaurant there in such a serene place...I loved it this and I loved it two years back as well

The place is very good to visit. There are about 400 steps to climb before you reach the temple. The temple serves Prasad on particular days only . It is generally not too crowded there is enough parking space . The views from top is really good but keep children safe from steep hills and during a moderate hike. The entry fee is ₹20 for car ₹25 & ₹10 for adults and children respectively . I didn’t see any vulture may be I missed it.

Good place to visit with family and friends.To experience the greenery, you should be visiting during July to December. The climb distance from base to hill top is about 1km or less. But you can easily spend around 2hour here. So, plan to combine with other places to make it a one day trip.The stairs are well maintained and where ever required, there are side grills. So, you can take your kids too. As you will be doing a small hike to the hill, carry some water with you. There is Lord Sri Ram and Hanuman temple and they serve Prasada at the temple.There is a entry fee of about Rs20/- per person and I guess Rs10(?) for kids. There is space for parking and we had to pay Rs10/- for our 2 wheeler.

Mast place for peace ☮️✌️ of mind

Nice experience with natural hills. 300 steps to climb up and enjoy the scenic trails.

For beginners it is a good place to start trekking.

Beautiful place. Good for weekend trekking.

Good temple complex. Carry water and light refreshments since the stairs up might take lot of your energy. Must visit

Nice place to come here there are almost 400 steps which takes around 20-25 minutes and then one temple comes there .After that it takes around 15-20 minutes to go to the top of the hill.Approx 20 steps are there during climbing to top.Overall experience was nice visiting here.

Best place to visit on weekend 😊 Temple is very old and It hardly takes 1 hour from south Bangalore 😊 best part is there are steps to climb and u can take elderly people 😃

Very good place to spend time with family and friends, I have been here once , its a mountain.One Old temple is there on the ,This Mountain called Sholey Hill ,People tell that A Superhit Bollywood movie suiting had done here .Movie name : SholeyStart cast Actors: Amitabh Bachhan and DharmendraActress: Hema Malini and Jaya Bachhan

Nice place to visit from Bangalore for half day. Gates will open at 9:00am in the morning, so plan accordingly. Approximately 400 steps to reach the temple. You can treck further to top of the hill which gives nice view of the sorrounding area. Carry enough water with you.

U need to climb 400 steps for temple and for top view another 100 steps but only fitest can climb has it is 90 degree angle.

Entry gate opens at 9 Am. But anyone wants to trek in early morning then there is one more entry. We can find with locals over there they will guide us and even locals over there use that way for morning walk.After climbing few steps we can find two routes. Downstairs will go to 700 years old Bhajarangi statue. And upwards wil go to rama temple and peak.Early morning trek was amazing.

One of the places for a short trek. Would rate this as easy. If you are looking for a short drive, trek and a yummy breakfast then this is an ideal place to visit. Please note that this place doesnt open before 9 AM. So do not arrive early in the morning. Have a nice breakfast in Bidadi and then visit here.

Peaceful and great spectacular view on top of the hills.U have to climb 300steps to complete phase 1.2-3 small temples are there.From there again 200steps to reach top edge.
