CYCLING TRIP TO HENNUR BAMBOO FOREST
As the distance between Human and nature is increasing day by day, here comes a place in Bangalore completely man made for eco conservation and environment upliftment. Hennur Bamboo Forest is a man made forest situated approx 18 Km from Hebbal Flyover, Bangalore.(Google Maps Location)
Me and My friend Nayan started at around 4 AM from Hebbal to visit Hennur Bamboo Forest. The roads are tricky and after approx 10 Km, we were passing through village roads free of pollution and urbanisation. We thoroughly enjoyed the route through villages, had coffee on the way to forest.

The place was scenic and perfect for cycling surrounded only by Bamboo Plantations everywhere. As Google Maps do not support inside the forest, one need to keep track of entry and exit points. Also many people were coming to the place for walking as well. The place is very isolated and far from urbanisation. It is advisable to be in a group and carry own food and water. It will give you a feel of wild not so far from Bangalore. If reached early, you will be lucky enough to have view of Peacocks, wild birds etc. Some institutes also organise marathons inside the forest during Dec to Mar every year.
We enjoyed the time spent at Hennur Bamboo Forest as the place is having apt Biking Trails and you can test your biking skills at that place. But you have to take care of the thorns as once punctured, there is nothing till 5-6 Km from the forest. Also please avoid Rainy season as it becomes quite muddy at approach roads and in the forest as well.
Enjoy and take care till next time…Byeeeeeeeeee…..
