Coming up...


On Thursday, 22nd July, four of us started from iiitb with an ambitious goal of conquering Nandi Hills. It was drizzling but that did not deter us.

The 176km ride from the gate of IIIT Bangalore to the top of Nandi Hills was exhilarating. Though the entire trip was fun filled, the best part was the exhausting climb and the breathtaking roller-coaster decent. With a total of 40 steep curves, the road flanked with lush green vegetation and the mist slowly setting in, it is an experience no one should miss.

Exotic Trails is here to make sure you do not miss it. We will transport you and your(or rented) cycle to the base of Nandi Hills. After a warm up ride of about 15km, starts the ascent. Parking the bikes on the peak, lets explore the peak, visit the temple, face the strong wind,take snaps, have lunch and ice cream and then start the adrenaline pumping descent.
