If you are a trekking enthusiast and always wanted to make your parents experience what you love doing the most then why not take them on a trek? I have been to almost all the treks near Bangalore among which below are the easiest and best treks you can take your parents without any issue. Note: The trek difficulty mentioned below is for a man or woman of the age 45-55. The trek difficulty may differ from person to person. 1. Shivagange: Trek difficulty: moderate to difficult.

Place:  Bettamugilalam, Aiyur forest and Panchapalli Dam Distance:  200 km round trip Type:  Forest, Sightseeing Ideal for: Friends It's not about the destination but the road we take.  This trip has proved the above quote right.

I wanted to ride through the forest in this summer so Bettamugilalam was a perfect choice for me.
