About this place
Robertsonpet, part of the larger Kolar Gold Fields (KGF) area in Karnataka, is a town shaped by its gold-mining heritage. Once a bustling colonial-era mining hub, it still bears the imprint of British-era architecture and industrial history, making it an offbeat stop for travelers interested in a quieter side of southern India. The town sits roughly three hours from Bangalore by road, connected via Kolar along NH7, or by train and bus links through Bangarapet junction.
