Thrilling ATV Rides With Dirt Mania A Must To Do In Bangalore
Written in 2019. Prices, timings and routes may have changed since; check before you go.
When to go Bengaluru through the year
Easiest: Jul, Nov to Feb. Tap + for the month-by-month weather and where these numbers come from.
- January: Easy. Daytime about 29°, night about 14°. Rain: dry, about 5 mm.
- February: Easy. Daytime about 32°, night about 15°. Rain: dry, about 4 mm.
- March: Mixed. Daytime about 35°, night about 18°. Rain: dry, about 16 mm.
- April: Mixed. Daytime about 36°, night about 21°. Rain: some, about 39 mm.
- May: Mixed. Daytime about 33°, night about 21°. Rain: wet, about 125 mm.
- June: Mixed. Daytime about 29°, night about 20°. Rain: wet, about 104 mm.

Nilabh: Mild all year, but not equally easy. December to February is the driest and coolest, 27 to 32° by day with nights near 15°. March to May is the hot stretch, up to about 36° in April, and the rain returns in May and stays until October. For anything outdoors near the city, I'd plan around the cool, dry months.
Ten-year averages (2015 to 2024) from NASA POWER satellite data. Conditions change; check before you go.
Where do these numbers come from, and how far can you trust them?
The figures come from NASA POWER, a free NASA project that publishes weather estimates for every point on Earth, put together from satellites and weather models. We took every day from 2015 to 2024 for this place, and averaged each month: the usual daytime high, the usual night low, and the rain.
We compared it with official weather-station figures for a few places. Over flat land it matched closely; in the hills and on islands it can be a few degrees out, and then the strip says so.
Easy, Mixed and Hard are our rule of thumb, not a forecast. Hard means days above about 37°, rain of about 250 mm a month or more, or nights close to freezing. Mixed means days above about 32°, rain over about 100 mm a month, or cold nights (below about 8°). Easy is everything else.
An average is not the weather on your dates, and it knows nothing about festivals, crowds, road closures or this year's monsoon. Check a forecast a week before you go.

Awesome ATV Rides At Dirt Mania- Pump Your Adventure
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.
ATV Bikes- The Little Monster That Will Take You On Any Terrain
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.
