While this is not technically in Banashankari, Thurahalli Forest is located just off Kanakapura Road which is just a hop, skip, and jump away. This stretch of green is considered to be the city’s only surviving forest and it’s a perfect for those quick day trips with the squad or fam, and there’s plenty of fresh air and greenery for you to switch off and unwind. Hiking here is a great way to explore the place, but if you’re up for a spot of adventure, take your bicycle and stray off track. As long as you leave a bread crumb trail, you should be able to find your way back!
