Madhugiri is a small town in Tumakuru district, Karnataka, known for the impressive Madhugiri Fort, which stands atop the second largest monolithic rock formation in Asia. The fort, built in the 17th century by the Vijayanagara dynasty under Raja Hire Gowda and later strengthened by Hyder Ali and Tipu Sultan, served as a strategic military stronghold and witnessed several historic battles including during the Anglo-Mysore Wars.

The fort features unique architecture with seven concentric walls, steep gates, bastions, and a large entrance called ‘Diddibagilu’ or ‘Gate of Hell,’ along with water tanks and a temple dedicated to Lord Gopalakrishna. It offers a popular trekking experience across rugged terrain with panoramic views of surrounding hills and countryside.

Besides the fort, Madhugiri is culturally vibrant, celebrating local festivals and known for nearby attractions like Jayamangali Blackbuck Reserve, Channarayana Durga, and Siddara Betta, making it a notable destination for history enthusiasts and nature lovers alike.
