On may 5, I went for short trip to ram devara betta hill.These hilly area is same landscape shot for legendary Hindi movie Sholay.
reaching there.
Ram devara betta is situated in ramnagara .it is around 60 kms from bangalore.One can take bus to Mysore and stop by ramnagara quarters bus stop.On main road you will find a large Hanuman statue.Behind statue is road that leads to the hill
. Ramanagara betta vulture sanctuary is situated 2 KMS from main road.i reached there by 2 pm taking Mysore bus from kengeri.I walked through a village road to vulture sanctuary..
The temple
After the gate you need to walk around 1 km and the steps to top start. You have to walk around 400 steps to reach ram temple.In the right of temple there is pond surrounded by Boulders.
The views
On right opposite to temple you get majestic view of ramdevara betta hill.it fells like nature has arranged rocks of different designs to form top of this majestic hill.
From the temple you will climb on left side to see a majestic valley surrounded by lot of hills.
Single Village road surrounded by trees around fields further bounded by green covered hills.Move further to right , you can see down backside view of temple tower from top opposite to main hills .

I was also taking group picture of few government employees who came for election duty from jharkand..I stayed 1 hr here.i came down to vulture sanctuary gate.A local who volunteers for this vulture sanctuary gave me drop till Mysore highway.he explained me where the vultures are seen in hill.Unfortunately I couldn't see vulture as they come to rest after preying.the plantation on the hill was done in 1960s and 70s..now it's a place with great views.this place is less explored by Bangalore people but a worthy weekend hangout..
