A Bollywood Connection The landscape surrounding Ramnagaram will seem familiar to anyone who is into Bollywood movies because it appears so frequently in the iconic movie Sholay.

Apart from being a Mecca for Bollywood lovers, the Ramadevarabetta and Savandurga hills are also favourite spots for rock climbers and trekkers since many trek routes start from here. These hills are also some of the unique bird habitats in India since many birds that live in dry rocky habitats like vultures can be spotted here very often. There are also many temples and caves peppered along these hill ranges that you can explore on foot or by car. The Winged Beauties of Ramnagaram A dry, rocky landscape devoid of greenery is not what you would imagine a bird habitat to be but the hills around Ramnagar are home to some of the unique birds in India. Many species of vultures that are not commonly seen anywhere else in the country are abundant in this region making Ramnagaram a favourite spot for birders who want to cross vultures off their list. The rare long-billed vulture is found in and near Ramnagaram and the hilly region has been declared as the Ramadevarabetta Vulture Sanctuary (RVS), one of the very few vulture sanctuaries in the world. Walking and trekking is the best way to navigate quietly within the sanctuary so as to not disturb the birds.
