The Western Ghats of Karnataka is an abode for many waterfalls & Bandaje Arbi (Falls) is one among them nestled in the Charmadi Ghats. The trek route maneuvers into the rain forest, climbing up the mountains, emerging into the lush green grasslands to reach the beautiful Waterfall. After camping the night on the waterfall, the trek route further leads to Ballalarayana Durga fort atop a mighty peak in the dense jungles of Western Ghats.

NISARGA has years of experience camping, hiking far into the wilds, spending the night on the ground and under the stars. We have learned quite a bit about the proper and improper ways to go about it. We have an innate love of both the sport and the natural world.

Long long ago.. actually, not so long ago, there was a nice long road with huge trees on either side and students and elders alike used to cycle to their school/college/workplace. The same could be said about most of the roads in Bangalore until one fine day when the world realized what a ‘cool’ place Bangalore is and the rest is history.
Cliched as it may seem, a lot of people say Bangalore has gotten warmer in the last 10 years.

So, here’s our teeny weeny bit to reclaim the Bangalore that we know of. Join us as we spread the message of cycling in Bangalore.

This edition of Critical Mass is registered at UNEP as one of the World Environment Day activities. Watch this space for our event to be featured.
