Ramanagara KarnatakaRamanagara is well-known for silk farming and is one of Asia’s major silk exporters. As a result, it is also known as ‘Silk City.’ Although the Handi Gundi hill has not been investigated and there is no evidence that it was dominated by the rulers, there is an intriguing legend about how the hill earned its name.The myth says that a pig was grazing when it went up the hill and tumbled over the top without realizing it had reached the brink. A couple of other pigs followed this one, and they all fell as well. Handi means “Pig” in Kannada, while Gundi means “Fallen” off the cliff’s edge. Explore this lore during the Handi Gundi Betta sunrise trek.
