Hey, I am Shreshth 👋🏼

I have been hiking in India for more than a decade. And have been rock climbing around Bangalore for more than 5 years.

Finding good trails has always been a bit of a challenge. I mean, so many of them are littered with plastic, and it feels like they're always packed with people.

So, I started hunting for those hidden gems – quiet spots that not many know about, free from litter and crowds. I've actually found quite a few and put together this guide to share them with you.

Let me show you what you'll get in the guide!

Frequently Asked Questions

Have another question?
Contact me via Twitter or by email.

Where are these hikes located?

All of the hikes are within 100 km of Bangalore, within 2 hours away. Most of them are lesser known, and my go-to when I feel like disconnecting from the fast city life.

What exactly do I get in the guide?

You get access to the guide's website. It has detailed trail descriptions, high-quality photos, GPX files, and maps.

Do you plan to add more trails?

Yes, I do! As I keep exploring new trails I will keep adding them in the guide. I already have 20+ areas waiting to be explored, that's in addition to what I already know of.

Do you plan to document well-known hikes?

Yes! I will freely share well-known trails too. In my opinion, having properly documented trails even for well-known hikes can prevent quite a few accidents. I have already started adding well-known hikes.

I want to hike with you. How do I join?

I host hikes both in the free & the premium communities. More often in the premium community. So consider buying the guide with the community access to hike with me.
