Monsoons is a fabulous time to explore treks, trails and hikes around Bangalore City. Bangalore being a valley is surrounded by hills on all sides. Here is why, June is the best time to venture out on weekends –
- Pleasant Weather (Pre-Monsoon Transition):
The scorching summer heat (March–May) starts to cool down, and occasional showers bring freshness without causing heavy downpours yet. - Lush Greenery Begins:
Early monsoon drizzles turn the surroundings green and vibrant, making treks scenic and photogenic. - Less Crowded Trails:
Compared to peak tourist seasons (like winter), trails are moderately populated, offering a more peaceful experience. - Wildlife and Scenery:
This is the time when bird activity increases, and flora is lush without the full force of the monsoon making trails unsafe.
All the trails are to be done with a trek leader. The trails mentioned below are within 150km radius from MG road in Bangalore –
