Golladhani Konda, Technically in Tamil Nadu but close enough to Bangalore.
Golladhani Konda or Golathi Konda is a spectacular piece of rock rising 300 feet above the plains of Uddanapalli. Tamil Nadu. Located about 60 km or an hour and half drive from Bangalore.
The west face of the hillock was first explored and developed for climbing between Jan and July 2017.
Folks who contributed to the development at the time include Latha BN, Aravind Selvam, Narayan Pai, Karthik Vijayakumar, Pravin Carvalho, Murali Manja, Srivats Vats, Kamalesh Thigulla, Prakhar Aidu, and me.
Additional routes were added by a group called 'The Climbing Project' in Mar 2019, on the East Face.
The hillock is surrounded by private property belonging to GMR.
Initial run in with the local cops at Udanapalli, and with GMR security. Resolved ad hoc.
Locals can be suspicious of your activity. Engage amicably.
The hillock is located about half an hour to the south-west of Hosur on Rayakottai road. Nearest village to the base is Rajajinagar.
You can either go through Hosur, or through Attibele.
