Located approximately 50 Kms/30Mi from Bangalore just off of the Bangalore-Mysore Highway, Ramanagara is a small but very self-sufficient town. It has rugged hills which make it a good destination for thrill seekers interested in Hiking and Climbing. This town also has a thriving silk rearing industry.

Ramanagara is popular for being the location where arguably the most popular movie of India Cinema - Sholay (released in 1975, starring Amitabh Bachchan) - was shot. This small town also has an Engineering College called Ghousia College of Engineering (GCE) that is affiliated with the University of Bangalore.
