You Won't Believe This Trail is in Pune! | India Off-road MTB

The best MTB trail in Pune, IMHO, is the trail between Kanifnath temple and Dive ghat. It's among my favourite cycling routes in Pune for off-roading, with a start point that's about 25 km from the center of Pune - though there are a few fun ways to get here! Want more?

The trail is nearly 9km long, pretty easy to access and is mostly rideable, with no technical sections. It goes downhill in the direction of Dive ghat.

This is only part of a much longer trail that starts at Katraj ghat and goes through Bopdev ghat (see above video) to Kanifnath temple, though I believe the Kanifnath to Dive section we're talking about today is probably the best. Can you ride from Sinhagad to Katraj? Apparently you can, but there might be too much walking with the bike. Onwards from Dive, I do want to make it down to Ramdara temple as well. Adventures cued up for later!

On this ride, I was accompanied by Taizoon (  / taizoonh  ) and Benoit (  / blamouche  )
