For motorcycle enthusiasts, the thrill of the open road is unmatched.

With a group of enthusiastic riders, this journey was a perfect blend of exploration and brotherhood. Here’s a detailed account of our epic ride.

The Event: Urban Riderz Ride to Devarayana Durga Fort & Namada Chilume

Devarayana Durga Fort, located about 70 kilometers from Bengaluru, is a hidden gem known for its serene landscapes, ancient temples, and panoramic views. Adding to the adventure was Namada Chilume, a natural spring believed to have been created by Lord Rama. The ride was planned as a one-day trip, perfect for a weekend escape. With a group of passionate riders, the excitement was palpable as we geared up for the journey.

Preparation and Planning:

A successful ride begins with meticulous planning. The organizers at Urban Riderz ensured everything was in place:

  • Route Mapping: The route from Bengaluru to Devarayana Durga Fort and Namada Chilume was carefully planned to include scenic roads and safe pit stops.
  • Safety Briefing: A pre-ride meeting was held to discuss riding formation, hand signals, and safety protocols.
  • Bike Checks: All riders ensured their bikes were in top condition, with fuel tanks full and tires checked.

 The Ride Begins:

We gathered at the Urban Riderz meetup point in Bengaluru at 6:00 AM. The cool morning air and the hum of motorcycles revving up set the tone for the day. After a quick round of introductions and a group photo, we hit the road by 6:30 AM.

The route took us through Tumakuru Road, a smooth highway that gradually gave way to picturesque countryside roads. Riding in a staggered formation, we maintained a steady pace, enjoying the cool breeze and the golden hues of the rising sun.

Pit Stops and Camaraderie:

Our first pit stop was at a local dhaba near Dobbspet, where we refueled with steaming cups of tea and delicious South Indian breakfast. The break was a great opportunity to bond, share stories, and laugh over riding anecdotes.

The second leg of the ride took us through winding roads surrounded by lush greenery. The sight of the Devarayana Durga Hills in the distance was exhilarating, and we couldn’t wait to explore the fort and Namada Chilume.

Exploring Devarayana Durga Fort:

By 9:30 AM, we reached the base of Devarayana Durga Fort. After parking our bikes, we began the short trek to the top. The fort, perched atop a hill, offers breathtaking views of the surrounding valleys and forests.

Highlights of the exploration included:

  • Bhoga Narasimha Temple: An ancient temple dedicated to Lord Narasimha, known for its spiritual significance.
  • Yoga Narasimha Temple: Located at the hill’s summit, this temple offers panoramic views and a sense of tranquillity.
  • Scenic Trails: The fort is surrounded by lush greenery and rocky terrain, perfect for a short hike.

Discovering Namada Chilume:

After exploring the fort, we rode to Namada Chilume, a natural spring located a few kilometers away. According to legend, Lord Rama created this spring by shooting an arrow into the rock to draw water. The serene surroundings and the cool, clear water made it a perfect spot to relax and unwind.

We spent some time soaking in the natural beauty of Namada Chilume, clicking photos, and enjoying the peaceful ambiance.

The Brotherhood:

What made this ride truly special was the bond we shared. From helping each other navigate tricky roads to sharing snacks and laughter during breaks, the camaraderie was heartwarming. The ride wasn’t just about reaching the destination; it was about the journey and the people we shared it with.

The Return Journey:

By noon, we began our ride back to Bengaluru. The return journey was relaxed, with everyone reflecting on the day’s adventures. We made a final pit stop for lunch at a local restaurant, where we relished authentic Karnataka cuisine.

By 3:00 PM, we were back in Bengaluru, tired but exhilarated. The ride had been a perfect blend of adventure, exploration, and friendship.
