Those who have seen the blockbuster Bollywood movie Sholay- and I am sure it includes almost every Indian- will distinctly remember the immortalized line spoken by one of the characters regarding the quietness of the place. If you are clambering up the jagged path near Ramanagaram with shrubbery flanking it on either side, you may want to repeat those lines! Lying not far from the edges of the road are the towering outcrops which no doubt formed the backdrop of this famous Indian movie that has spanned generations.

However, fans are left pretty disappointed on their visits to Ramgarh since there is not much for them to soak up. The famous den of Gabbar, the old haveli belonging to Thakur, the temple, or the bridge that featured so prominently in the climax during the shootout- all of them are missing. It is only the huge rocks lying strewn around the hills that serve as reminder of the movie.

While there were many plans in place to create a major tourism destination after Sholay ended up a runaway success, it is only biking and hiking clubs that have made a cool destination out of this place. Large number of people from the nearby towns of Mysore and Bangalore come here to relax and unwind. There are a number of tour packages that are popular in this region.
