With the blush green forest trees on a mountain top also home for many birds with a cool breeze always a couple of degrees lesser than in the city. Not a great place for cycling but a good place once you reach there. Unfortunately the gate was closed due to Covid-19 restrictions. Very few forests like these exists near the city lets try to save it.

Peaceful place surrounded by busy city building, visiting the forest early morning is a memorable experience. You can see the city site from the mountains. Though we lost the road midway, exploring untouched roads through long grass and rocks was exiting. Take care of yourself as its cold 🥶 out there and prefer a two-wheeler due to parking contraints.

Since the Turahalli Forest is closed, this park is the next best option around that area. Its very nicely maintained and offers a good view of the city outlined by hills from the back. A good place to catch sunset from! Timings are 4 PM to 6 PM in the evenings.

They have closed it now ! :( Its a Nice place for Jogging and Watching Sunrise

Perfect for short treks with beautiful views of mountains, trees, etc.Serenity at its best if visited in the morning.We went there before the sunrise.Do carry your basic winter clothes.One can do cycling as well.

Pleasant environment. Gives refreshment for morning walk or paddling. Nearest forest zone for Bengaluru city. Home for many peacock and other birds. Must visit place. Should need to maintain some waste disposal near forest zone.

Its best route for cycling. Lush forest all around. Fresh air to breathe, just feel so good to cycle around here

Beautiful place. Good place to visit for a quick refreshment and Beautiful sunset.

Lavish, Large acres of lush green.Its lung space of city of South. Need to preserve the nature. Should be maintained to restrict human entry in to this mini forest. Let forest be forest & allow the creature of the place to live their life. Morning starts with pleasant melody of chirping birds, with a blissful breeze,its just amazing.

Awesome place for cycling. I was disheartened seeing the garbage being dumped in this forest area. We, the people, must have responsibility to safeguard the ecosystem.

I actually live in rr nagar I had been here when I was in SSLC I didnt know there were restrictions now I recently visited after the second wave pandemic its been raining in banglore for the past month and man the trees have come to life there is greenery everywhere .Since there is restriction on this place we scouted the borders of the forest for an entry point and found a rather easy one in one of the layouts next to the forest cannot disclose location since Im still expecting to use it 😏 anyways we didnt encounter police after closing hours4 stars because of the stupid thorn bushes.

The Place is very nice! The Sunset View Point Is super the Sunset is Clearly Visible. If u want to feel the Fresh Air & Spend some peaceful time then its the best place!

Its a reserve forest area. Well fenced. This is the only surviving forest in Bengaluru.The main attraction is birds. Their chirping makes the environment beautiful. The deciduous type forest is formed mainly by Eucalyptus.There is a small temple above the hill. Granite rocks are the delight to see the sunrise.People come sneakily and litter the place. I could see some encroachment also.I hope, the beauty and the peace of the woods will be maintained.

One of the best place for cycling

Pack your bags and get indulged in nature with a short drive to this spot in Bangalore. Great spot for a one day get away. Also good for bicycling and biking in the gravelly roads. Nice place for the kids to enjoy as well.P.S: please keep the place neat and do not litter. Kindly maintain the decorum of the natural surroundings.

Just the most quiet, serene urban forest. With only the (rather ugly) Shobha apartments barring the view, the rest of the space is verdant green and an absolutely lovely space. If you visit wear your shoes and comfortable clothes, you could do some fun climbing and hike small trails to some amazing views! Please pick up litter you may leave behind, and respect this little soulful patch of life in the middle of all this concrete.

One of the last lung space of Namma Bengaluru. Its a sheer pleasure to ride anyday!

Great place for a morning walk

Since its national Forest now you cannot go inside its locked for public but hey they have a small park which kinda gives the old forest vibes

Good place for morning walk and joggingAnd great place to get kids and family

Best place to visit jogging morning time

Turahalli forest does not have a well defined path that leads you into the forest. You will have to figure out the path for yourself. The trail is banned and you will usually get fined if you are caught venturing into the forest at night without permission. If you are brave enough to climb the fence and explore on your own, you have to be careful since there are no trails or path that is made. Please go in at your own risk

Forest entry is closed from last two years. Hiking is not open yet. Spotted a peacock 🦚 from the main road.

Happy to see flora and fauna. Kindly maintain this green and do not commercialize.

Amazing place. Very good place for walkers/Joggers. Also, there is a kids play area so this place is for all age group.

Good place to be. Spent almost 3 hours

Great nature visit....best in the morning

Best place for cycling walking and joggingU can experience nature at its best tat to in Bangalore....U can have a good ride and visit many places near byThere r many cycling groups u can even join themThere are many roads interconnected u can even go thereU can even go for trekkingIt very close to Bangalore cityAnd pollution freeeOverall its best place in Bangalore to visit and have a good rideeU can even do very good photoshoots there are lot of places

Nice place. Kept tidy and thankfully no plastic. Some cleaning of bushes may be required. Access road needs more attention. Sad to see much of the forest being encroached all around and the fence is put right in between the forest! More info boards required and the newly planted trees need care and maintenance.

Lovely place to cycle over the weekend. Best place to visit for a free morning

Although one cannot enter the forest, a walk around the forest on roads is refreshing, early in the morning.

Lovely place for short trip.

Not a good experience. Showing open on google and closed actually, it ruined all our good plans. There is no proper entry gate. After a lot of search, we found one and that was locked too. Will not suggest this place.

Its a fun place, not so far from the city, you get to roam around and explore the forest.

Great cycle trails

Turhalli mini forest is a beautiful lung space, near sobha forest view off kanakapura road, it is a 50acre man made property, a ornithologist delight, with a variety of birds.you have a gazebo on top of a small hill which offers magnificent views. If you are lucky you can spot peacocks

Peaceful morning walks in silence of nature.Can spot peacocks if lucky.Spot 1 in the pics if possible.But was not allowed inside in my last visit here.Seems to be closed for visitors now bcoz of Covid-19.

Awesome place close to the city; Nice views and greenery.Possibly the best place in Bangalore to relax and unwind with nature.If you happen to go there, please dont litter. Lets preserve this for future generation.

Very beautiful place...... specially for morning walk not sure now its allowed inside

Good spot for a short drive:-)... Its closed but the view from outside is also wonderful

Peace surroundings good for photo shoot

Great place for a morning jog/walk/stroll. You can just take the trail around the park. It has a clean public washroom. But there was no water available when I went. At the rear of the park, you can get a glimpse of the Turahalli Forest. Because of its presence in the vicinity of a forest, its a paradise for bird watchers. I spotted 13 different species which I can remember.

We spend awesome time yesterday it was rainy and greeneries enjoy a lot we will visit next time again

Great spot to reach by cycle, 25km from Ecity.No entry. But you can find your way to reach here. Even I dont know exact road to say .its backside of thurahali. I find my own way. I reach here 😬🚵‍♂️.

Very well conserved mini forest in the middle of city. Good for a one day visit. Entry is restricted as this is a reserve forest. Watch out for snakes in the bushes. Better to visit during July - October(Rainy season). Otherwise its very dusty and dry.

Hey guyz....This place is not been same like before alot restrictions n rules have been implied..If u hav to go view point its at own risk one have to jump to fencing if u ur caught by cop one will be in big trouble n they charge very high...One have to find ur own way once u cross the fence...Only place u can visit is turahali park which gives secenic views good place to sit click few pics ...N have good breakfast..No cycles have been placed there so u cant even enjoy a ride on ur cycle..Only way to explore is jump the fence find ur own way be alert cops may catch u...

Personally I love this place. Not a safe place for couples at odd time. Good view of sunrice and sunset . Good place to click pics. Morning walks are too good. Entrance is restricted now a days due to public complaints. And especially a special category of people will love this place the bicycle lovers its your terrain.

Excellent for concert forest like bengalore... For refreshing place... Morning walk will be very nice... Lots of trails... Couple of temples are there at top... Nice view too.. must try

Ideal for walk in evening and morning.you cam visit this place for clean air.2.5km from kanakapura road.you can watch peacock in your walk.

Best time to go is during monsoonOnly problem is officially its closed for cyclists and even normal entry is not there since its a reserved forest nowYou can go beyond the main entrance where you see the board in the pics i have attached to this review, and then the road actually is going through a small portion of the forestz its a nice stretch to cycle, then if you take a right you basically go around the forest and reach main road

I heard about this forest from one of my friends. At first I didnt believed that there is a forest within 15km range around Bangalore. But its true. Turahalli Forest is one of them. I came here with my friends using Bicycles. I would suggest people who wants to visit this forest, they must use a bicycle. Because we can ride with bicycles inside the forest. The Eucalyptus trees and Rocks are a visual treat for us. This is one of the places in Bangalore to see the sun rise.

Its a nice calm place , u can go for a good walk and picnic with friends...There is no entry fee and all..also has a good view point ...overall its nice and refreshing place and also its very near just 23 km from electronic city...

Peaceful place to chill but follow the govt guidelines & be careful of the some of wild animals present there...

The forest department officers are not at all well mannered. I recommend Avalahalii forest instead of this if u are planning to go cycle ride. This is not at all scenic, not at all worth visiting according to me.Go at your own risk.

The forest is very beautiful and the view is good but there is some trash in the outskirts of the forest

Good Place for morning walks and cycling

Nice place to spend an evening. Maps location is incorrect, better to ask locals. There is sunset point as well

This is a trucking place with lots of rocks and hills. When you reach here you feel relax,calm and peace .There are two temples on the top of the mountain...such a good place for tension relief.. loved that moments I went with friends

Great place at the outskirts of Bangalore with really good accessibility.Happy to live near such a beautiful place and close to nature

Its good but u cant enter inside forest and u cant take Cycles inside..

Beautiful forest

It was a completely random trip. We reached the base of the hill at around 5:45, it was dark and we jumped over the fence and entered in. There is nothing to fear. There are 2 ways to reach the top , first either you directly accent sharp to the top or else you can go around the hill base and gradually climb up. We could hear peacocks clearly but couldnt spot one. The weather was pleasant as it was just early morning . We came here to see the sunrise , I guess because we took the longer way to the top we missed it by 15-20 minutes but it was worth it. The trek was fairly decent with occational tricky parts. It is possible to get kids as well. There is a temple at the top and there are huge boulders which you can climb and enjoy the beautiful sunrise and feel the cool breeze that flows. It was only 6:30-45 and we were at one of the peak of the hills. Spent some time at the top, but better be careful and dont slip and fall down. It is risky. We descended pretty quickly and were down by 7:30. After that time it was getting a bit hot and we were lucky to have a mini trek early morning.And please , it is my request that dont litter the place when you come here. Be a responsible citizen and enjoy the trek.

Its not a great place as well as not the worst.Its one of the places where you can peacefully spend time and is very close to Bangalore.It is a reserved forest now.Without the permission from the forest department you cannot enter the main forest.Nice place for cycling.

Last piece of heaven in bnglr🤫

A much needed breathing space in a rapidly shrinking city. A great place for jogging and walking, though the terrain can get a little rough and unsteady at places. You also get great views of the city from several rocky vantage points.

Turahalli forest park is good to visit. Actual Turahalli forest is completely fenced & not advised to go inside forest.

Expect a calm and peaceful place amidst the city.. This the most simple explanation for this place.

Nice place for morning walk, trekking

Nice place to spend few hours on weekend. Peaceful and less explored.

This is a beautiful and quiet place to visit. Feel amazing on top of the small hill which is there. Not at all crowded at any time. But, you may need permission to go inside and it is fenced.

Simple and easy morning trekking place. Best suitable for beginners. You need to walk few kilometers inside the Forest surrounded by lot of trees. It also has some huge trees on top of the hill. There couple of temples on top of the hill. If you are lucky, you can spot some peacocks. During weekends you will find lot of groups coming to this place including families.

Peaceful place for bangloreans, great place to spend with family and friends. Many people come here fr bicycling. Even we can hear peacock sounds, if luck supports we can see them took.

Great experience climbing! Good weekend trek place. Enjoyed it thoroughly!!

Beautiful and clean place to take a walk. There is a nice cycling track. But cycles are not allowed these days.

Its like refreshing yourself in the middle of a city

Expected the forest area/view point to be open but to our disappointment, it wasnt due to covid.Though the highway which passes through the forest area was beautiful.There are 2 sub-roads when you descend(after ascending from shobha apartment side) where you can jog/stroll/ride in peace.If you are expecting to visit the viewpoint after seeing other google reviews, i would recommend you verify beforehand whether its reopen

Beautiful atmosphere n best place to relax.

Very good place for photography and videography. It has such beautiful landscapes. Its best to visit this place from 6:30am to 8:30am because it is the golden hour for photography. The colours are very good looking at this time. Overall this place is really very good but not known to many, I think it must be promoted and known to many!

Good place with trees around.Located at city outskirts. Most of the people will travel by bicycles to this place.Good place for nature lovers.Can carry food and start early in the morning and reach by 5:00 AM.Lot of peococks around and good place to hang out with friends and families.

Awesome place

I nice place for early morning trail walk and jogging also, to spend time with family. Kids would really enjoy it. View of sunrise and sunset is beautiful. Parking is along the main road. Better to visit after 6AM for safety, as its isolated place. Sad part is view from peak is getting filled with concrete jungles.

Its a forest which is 30kms away from Bangalore city. If you wanna do cycling, then you need to get prior permission. When I went with my friends on the last weekend of February, the forest officer was telling us that nobody is allowed to enter the forest and asked us to move out of the forest. But the notice board placed there doesnt tell us that entry is prohibited(I have attached the photo of notice board here). So, better be ready to face these kind of minor issues.

It was really a great place to hangout as a group.We can trek and we can have great view of sun rise or set

Pretty cozy place with a good view. Not that great. Not crowded. Ideal place for trekking and morning walks.

Turahalli Forest is a vast area. It is a tourist spot for Hiking, Jogging, Cycling and also other activities like Yoga and Photography too! There is certain pleasure you feel when you climb up the hill and experience an aesthetic bird view of the forest.Peacocks can be heard in the morning time. Fresh oxygen makes your morning fresh and it helps you to start your day in a good and fresh mood. Doing drugs in the forest area or around the forest area is strictly punishable! Police patrolling is now regular in and around the forest.Nature at its best!

Good place for photography. Nice place to hangout with friends and prefer visit in the early morning.I went on Sunday morning with friends. I loved the beautiful nature here..after climbing hills u can see all over the city. If you are a nature lover you will Enjoy this place a lot.Accessing the forest through a mud road from Sobha property, we had completed a wonderful adventure in this forest.We chose to take one of the trails and climb up a rocky hill. The forest has mainly Eucalyptus trees. All of us enjoyed scampering up the rocks and big boulders and made our way to the top of the hill. We got a good view of the surrounding areas that have come up on the periphery of the forest.There were several families also trekking in the forest and going on the different trails/hills.Coming down from the top of the hill tested our skills of rock climbing, and we had to take care not to slip and get injured. There was no park office to even get first aid.In some of the secluded areas we saw broken liquor bottles. After sun down the forest may not be safe.The place is not ideal for girls in the evenings because of safety concerns.Good place to take a cycle preferably a mountain bike. Forest along the road looks unimpressive but deeper inside it is tranquil and one may hear and see peacocks. Temple atop the hillock was closed but appeared to be well developed and in regular use. Great place to get lovely views of the city.Nice place to plan a short and quick raid.Please carry water and snacks to enjoy on the quite walk around the forest. Time needed approximately 3-4 hours. Highly recommend visiting this place with friends for a short adventure. Very nearest place to refresh yourself from city pollution.

Best place inside Bangalore city..you will never get such a good environment inside city.. awesome view.. sun rise..nice weather..I stay near by to this place.. I usually go by walk from my home..nice place to trek..

The place is closed for public entry. (Looks amazing from the outside though)

Best place to visit during early morning

Memorable place to visit with friends or family. Peaceful and calm👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

A wonderful trek...a break from the busy hectic life to a clam and tranquil of nature..the view from top is wonderful...beat time to go for the walk is morning by 6...we took about 2 hrs to go up n back...thats about 5 KMS on total...be well prepared to carry water along as well..and best to wear comfortable shoes ...as the trek is not even throughout...a must do to the list for people who enjoy walking and being around nature...

Decent plac for a morning sunrise, sometimes it closed

Great place for mountain biking, trail running, rock-climbing!!! The only green patch which is so close yet feels so far from the bustling city traffic and pollution. Lots of peacocks can be seen on weekdays.@families_who_come_here_for_picnicPlease dont litter in this serene place. Families happen to come here, eat and litter everywhere. There are bins in certain places. Please use it. Please have civic sense and responsibilities.@so_called_youthAvoid getting beer bottles and littering the place. The glass chards are dangerous for cyclists and runners.

Omkar hills can be made a good tourist place. Very poor Maintenance. HMT clock is also not working. Poorly lit.

Good place to catch the sunrise or sunset. Apparently this is the last surviving forest of bangalore. Good place for a weekend gateway

Its beautiful natured place but this place not updates like a park nice forest

Closest forest near the city. Good place if youre looking for a half day getaway

Nice location for a morning trekking... Do carry water bottles.. Sitting on the top of the boulders and feeling morning breeze is just lovely...

Turahalli forest lies in the outskirts of Bengaluru city. This forest is the only surviving forest and I recommend all the nature lovers to visit this place early in the morning to have a peaceful and refreshing morning. This place also offers good track for joggers and cyclists. One can get a beautiful view of Bengaluru city from the hilltop of Turahalli forest.

Its a dense wood on the edge of Bangalore. Near Rajajarajeshwarinagar. Theres nothing there except a forest, whichs terrific bacause thats exacly how a forest should be. Go there and have a picnic, by all means, but for heavens sake, pick up your mess. Dont leave a litter behind. Its one of the last and largest wooded areas left behind in Bangalore, so its too precious to loose. I havent seen any animals around except the most dangerous animal of all. Man.
