I am looking so tiny against this huge landscape.

Hill bagging is a UK hiking tradition where you work through a named list of summits and track every peak you've stood on — same idea as the Scottish Munros or the Wainwrights of the Lake District. We brought it to the hills around Bengaluru.
We track 25+ peaks: Nandi Hills, Skandagiri, Savandurga, Madhugiri Betta, Makalidurga, Ramanagara, Shivagange, Anthargange, and more. Connect your Strava and your full activity history gets scanned automatically — any route that passes within 100m of a summit gets logged. No manual entries.
Right now 3 hikers are on the board with 49 summits between them. The leader already has 25. The gap from #2 to #3 is huge, which tells me a lot of people in this community have more peaks sitting in their Strava data than they realise.
Community rules don't allow links in posts — DM me and I'll send it over.
Which peaks are still missing from your list?
