Each twist and turn along the narrow path keeps your heart pounding with excitement. The sheer thrill of navigating these curves, with the fort standing proudly in the distance, makes it more than just a ride—it’s an experience that taps into your sense of adventure. The sound of the engine echoing off the cliffside and the wind rushing past your helmet adds to the raw intensity of the journey.

At certain points, you’ll find yourself riding so close to the edge that the vast drop below makes your heart race. The adrenaline surges as you balance between the excitement of the ride and the awe of the scenery. Every rider knows the mix of fear and exhilaration when riding along such cliffs, and Bolumalai Fort delivers that in spades.

International Vultures Awareness Day 2024: A Biker's Journey into Nature Conservation

As bikers, we often ride through scenic roads, feeling close to nature but rarely realizing the hidden wonders it holds. Recently, we had the chance to discover one such hidden gem when we took part in the International Vultures Awareness Day 2024, organized by the Karnataka Forest Department in collaboration with the Karnataka Vulture Conservation Trust. This event opened our eyes to the importance of protecting these majestic birds.

Our ride kicked off at Kengeri Metro Station, where we gathered with fellow club members. After a quick briefing, we embarked on a beautiful 34-40 km morning ride through scenic roads. We soon reached our destination, the Karnataka Sahasa Kala Academy, where we joined a larger group of wildlife enthusiasts, students from nearby schools and colleges, and birdwatchers, all holding placards to raise awareness about vultures.

The highlight of the event was the visit to the Ramanagara Vulture Sanctuary. The Karnataka Forest Department had set up binoculars for us to observe vultures in their natural habitat. We were incredibly lucky to spot a pair of Indian vultures nesting on the cliffs. To add to the thrill, we even sighted a pair of Shaheen falcons—the fastest birds in the world! It felt surreal to witness these creatures, especially on such a significant day for their conservation.

After the birdwatching experience, we enjoyed a delicious breakfast with tea and coffee on the hilltop. The Karnataka Forest Department then hosted an insightful seminar on vultures, emphasizing the importance of their conservation and the threats they face.
