Off-Road and Forest Trail Cycling Rides in Bangalore
Ditch the traffic and hit the dirt. We explore Bangalore's hidden forest trails and scenic mud paths every weekend. Grab your MTB or sturdy hybrid, and let's ride.

About Off-Road & Forest Trails
Our forest rides are less about speed and more about learning to handle technical terrain. You will encounter loose gravel, patches of mud, and rocky climbs at spots like Turahalli or Nallur Tamarind Grove, which is where the real fun happens. We ride as a group, so if you slip or need help adjusting your gears, someone is always there to pull you through. Just remember to bring a bike with decent tire width, as skinny road tires will struggle on these paths.
Why We Love the Trails
Getting away from the asphalt of city roads is the best way to reset over the weekend. We don't just ride; we explore Bangalore's outskirts. Whether it is the dense canopy at Nallur Tamarind Grove or the challenging rocky ascents at Turahalli, these trails offer a mix of physical challenge and fresh air that you simply do not get on the highway.
What You Need to Know
- Bike Choice: These rides are designed for Mountain Bikes (MTB) or Hybrids with wider, treaded tires. If you bring a road bike, you will likely struggle on the dirt and loose stone sections.
- Skill Level: You do not need to be a pro to join. We have a 'no rider left behind' policy. If the trail gets technical, we stop, look at the line, and help each other get through it.
- Technical Skills: Our guides are there to show you how to shift gears before a climb, how to brake on loose gravel, and how to pick the right line through an obstacle.
The Bangalore Trail Community
We see ourselves as a support system first and a cycling group second. Expect to get a little dirty, maybe fix a chain drop or two, and definitely share a laugh over a post-ride breakfast. It is about pushing your limits in a safe environment and realizing that trails are for everyone, not just the experts.
Check our upcoming schedule, grab your helmet, and come see what makes Bangalore's off-road scene so special. Pedal maadi!
