Ride plan

How to get there

Ride south via Kanakapura Road towards Halagur, then follow the camp’s current directions to the booked destination.

Use service/old roads rather than the access-controlled Bengaluru–Mysuru expressway if your chosen navigation route heads that way.

Ride time is an estimate from central Bengaluru. Check live traffic, road closures, fuel stops and two-wheeler restrictions before departure.
