Ramanagara district

Also Kanakapura and Harohalli Taluks share border with Tamilnadu so few parts here we can find different slang of kannada being used.

The popular places for rock climbing are; Savandurga which is 31km away from Ramanagara, Ramadevarabetta located within the city, Sri Revana Siddeshwara (SRS) betta which is 15.1km away from Ramanagara, Thenginkaibetta near to SRS betta and Kabbaladurga which is 35km away from Ramanagara.This region has several tall granitic hills which are famous for many short rock climbs, typically 1 to 2 pitches in length.

Some of the interesting climbs are on the Wanakkal wall ("Gabbar ki asli pasand", "Labor pain"), on the Rainbow wall ("UIAA", "Kalia"), on Anna-Thamma ("Darkness at dawn", "Black Diamond", the name Anna-Thama means 'elder-brother-younger-brother' in Kannada).

The region is covered in scrub forest and is home to threatened bird species such as the yellow-throated bulbul and long-billed vultures.
