1. Ramanagaram, Bangalore.
If you’ve watched Sholay or David Leans’ A Passage to India, you’ve already seen Ramanagaram or the Land of the Seven Hills. Less than 50 kilometer (31.25 miles) away from Bangalore on the Bangalore-Mysore Highway, this town is famous for a number of things apart from being a movie locale: the huge rocky outcrops that are every rock-climber’s dream come true, the silk market - one of the biggest in India (it’s also called Silktown), historical temples nestled in the hills, and the stone and granite quarries. The town gets its name from Ramagiri Hills or Ramadevara Betta which finds a mention in Valmiki and Thoravi Ramayan.
