Giving Back: Our Trail Cleanup Drives

When you join our cleanup drives, you're doing more than just hiking. We head to popular spots like Huthribetta, armed with gloves and heavy-duty bags, to clear out the plastic and litter left behind by others. It’s hands-on, it’s necessary, and it’s the only way to ensure our trails stay green and accessible for every trekker who comes after us.

We started Bengaluru Trekkers to build a community, not just a travel company. Part of that means looking after the places we love. Every time we visit places like Huthribetta, Kodachadri or the Western Ghats, we see the impact of crowds—plastic bottles, wrappers, and discarded gear. We refuse to just walk past it.

Our cleanup drives are simple: we grab the bags, get our hands dirty, and haul the waste back to civilization for proper disposal. It isn't just about cleaning; it’s about shifting our mindset as trekkers. We believe in the 'Leave No Trace' principle, and we encourage everyone who treks with us to adopt it.

Whether it's a sunrise trek near Bengaluru or a multi-day expedition in the Ghats, you’ll see our team picking up whatever isn't supposed to be there. We organize these drives periodically because the forest needs consistent care, not just a one-time effort.

Want to help? You don't need special skills. Just show up with a pair of gloves and the right attitude. Banni, let's keep the trails clean together.
