Big Banyan Tree-400-year-old Banyan Tree, which spreads over an area of 4 acres!


This serene picnic spot has a sprawling 400-year-old Banyan Tree, which spreads over an area of 4 acres!
                                                












It is called 'Dodda Alada Mara' in Kannada meaning Big Banyan Tree. The tree with its vertical root system is said to be the biggest tree in Karnataka. The main trunk has given life to several roots and branches with lots of leaves. Branches jutting on all sides have slanted towards the ground. The rustic settings and an enchanting view of the nearby Savandurga hills makes this an ideal picnic spot. Photo Gallery>>
