A breezy drive and Hike to Ratnagiri fort ( near Madhugiri)

Sarathy PB July 15, 2019
The Dabaspet/Madugiri region of Tumkur is very famous for its forts and Hills.. This time we planned to trek the 7 tiered Ratnagiri fort and we started early morning 6am from Bangalore...We reached Ratnagiri around 9am after having a small breakfast break in a beautiful roadside hotel behind a beautiful lake..  

Ratnagiri Fort is basically in AP as per state boundaries 2 kms from Karnataka border... Then we started the hike and Its a small hike of around 2 hrs up and down and its a beautiful fort without much humans around..Take enough water on sunny days and have a pleasant stay there...

This ruined historical Ratnagiri Fort is located in Anantapur District of Andhra Pradesh and very close to the Karnataka border. It was one of the forts of historic importance during the Pandyan and Chola Dynasties. Later it fell into the hands of Hyder Ali. It is also believed that after the fall of the Vijayanagara Empire, Allasani Peddana and around 500 Brahmin families settled at Ratnagiri.

I couldn't carry my DSLR and the pics were taken with my mobile so spare me for mediocre pics if any :)

I have done my Engineering B.tech and have also did my Masters in Australia and thats where it all began the habit of exploring mother nature around me..Coming back to India I decided to look around all the astonishing places of my country and then slowly started to roam the world also.. I also have a small nature group called as " The Law of Nature" with the members support have planted 4800 trees around Karnataka and Tamil Nadu and have also removed tons of plastics from Biologically Important junctions and Animal reserves. My dream is to dedicate myself in winning the war over banning plastics and also to plant as much as trees as possible. I like to conserve water for the poor farmers and also to connect farmers with direct consumers. My Facebook Profile : https://www.facebook.com/sarathy.pb

    Sarathy PB’s trek to Ratnagiri Fort is a delightful adventure. The scenic drive from Bangalore, the historical significance of the fort during the Pandyan and Chola Dynasties, and the tranquil surroundings make it a must-visit. Sarathy’s mobile photography captures the essence beautifully. A hidden gem near the Karnataka-Andhra Pradesh border!
