A landlocked district, Kolar is the Eastern gateway to Karnataka.
It is famous for its erstwhile Kolar gold mines, cool hill stations, with fortresses and lofty temples. The area offers excellent opportunities for adventure sports like trekking, rock climbing and parasailing.
The town’s eminence drew from the nearby Kolar Gold Mines which recently actively produced a major part of the country’s gold. Kolar is now well known for its silk farming and wool spinning. Kolar is popularly known as city of Gold, Silk, Mangos and Milk.
