ATV Ride At Dirt Mania

With an invite from Dirt Mania Bangalore– the pioneer of ATV rides & adventure activities in Bangalore, we headed to the Kankpura road via NICE road on the weekend. I knew of the ATV rides from movies where actors are seen riding the vehicle in almost any type of terrain. My wife and I were excited to try and experience what it to ride on the road less travel.

The route to dirt mania Bangalore is very straight forward. If you are located in South Bangalore take the well maintained and less crowded NICE road and exit on to Kanakpura road, from the Art of Living Ashram the Outdoor Adventure Park – DIRT MANIA right cut is exactly 7 Km. Take a right and enter the village road, from the T point, take the left road and watch out for the Dirt Mania to your right after roughly 1 Km. There is ample parking space in the Dirt Mania Bangalore compound.

You see these monster ATV bikes in the complex and immediately a sense of adventure gets injected in your blood. After a briefing on the usage and emergency procedure by the on-field staff of dirt mania, I was instructed to take a trial first in the compound itself. Let me tell you; the trials are crucial to getting used to these monster and heavy vehicles. You will find stiffness in taking turns and controlling the ATVs initially, however after a couple of round in the circuit, I was all set to go in the jungle and unknown terrain.

The course and terrain we choose to drive were approx. 15 Km round trip goes on the concrete road, village, forest, very rough terrain, uphill and finally downhill to taste and experience the adventure blood in you. A guide and pilot vehicle from the Dirt Mania will guide you in this long trail which lasts around 1.5 hrs.

ATV Rides At Dirt Mania- It’s All About Taking The Road Less Travel

During our ATV ride, we passed through narrow mud paths cutting across the barren land, veering left and then right, we raced down steep and rocky inclines & declines & on up uneven slopes, raising a cloud of dust behind our ATVs. Finally, the terrain led up a small hill called “Yogavana Hills.”

The hill incline was moderately steep as well as rocky and uneven, but enough to pump up the adventure level. We stayed there for few mins, took photographs of the impressive landscape in front of us. After a brief chit-chat, we started our journey back to Dirt Mania compound. Okay, by now I gained all control and confidence on my ATV vehicle, and it was serious fun riding the little monster.

After returning, we hang around the compound for a while which resembles like that of a location of some Hollywood action flick. We thanked the awesome staff of Dirt Mania and decided to hit back on Kanakpura Road.
