Place/Region Narayanagiri is another monolith near Bangalore. The peak is home to the temple of LaxmiNarayana temple with an exterior of shiny black granite. The entire hill is fortified and one can see the remains of a fort wall almost surrounding the top of the hill completely. It is green, rocky and serene making it an ideal weekend getaway. The view from the top is absolutely breath-taking and perfect for trekkers and climbing enthusiasts. The temple is open only on Saturdays and is accessible via an irregular footpath in the lower parts and rough steps, hewn on the stone rock face in the upper reaches.
