This is simply the best country cycling trail and the most undulating loop that you would see around Bangalore. If you enjoy biking on mostly rolling terrain then you’ll find this one bliss.
The landscape consists of signature Ramanagaram boulders and offers a gorgeous view of Manchanbele dam and Savandurga, the largest monolithic rock.
On this one-day cycling retreat, discover old visions of India: a land of cows, monkeys, laughing children, rice paddies, mango orchards, rose nurseries, and granite cliffs. This is a real rural India experience that you won’t find on other itineraries. An enjoyable ride that finishes with a sumptuous lunch at Ranch by Big Banyan Vineyard.
