Family Fun on Two Wheels: Our First Bike Ride as a family

Bike Ride on the KR Puram - Hoskote Highway: A Scenic and Adventurous Journey

Aayutha ezhuthu

Are you looking for a fun and active way to spend some quality time with your family in Bangalore? Then consider going for a biking ride. Today, I went for a bike ride with hubby and my 3-year-old kid in the evening, followed by a delicious dinner. Not only will it gave an excellent opportunity for bonding, but it allowed us to explore the city in a new way. 

Here are some tips to make the most of your biking adventure:

Scenic Route

Plan your route: Choose a route that is safe, scenic, and suitable for driving with kids. 

We started from our home and rode towards Hoskote, this highway stretches for approximately 30 kilometers, offering breathtaking lake views adding serene beauty to our ride 

Ensure Everyone Has Proper Gear: As we made plans to go for a bike ride, our top priority was ensuring that my son Hethvick had a helmet and we chose comfortable clothing for biking. We carried one water bottle and snacks in a small backpack. I would suggest that you carry a first aid kit in case of emergencies.

KR Puram - Hoskote Highway

We maintained our speed and were cautiously following the rules. Since kids cannot communicate if they need to stop or take a break and biking can be tiring for young kids, we were cautious in keeping the route short. 

Baby Helmet 

Around 7 p.m., We covered a distance of 18 kilometers on our bikes and arrived at the restaurant. To our surpise, we found ourselves to be the only customers there. We relished the experience of having a private dinner in the restaurant.

Overall, the KR Puram - Hoskote Highway is a great choice for a scenic and adventurous bike ride from Bangalore. The journey is not too long, making it ideal for a day trip, morning and evening bike ride and the changing landscapes and picturesque surroundings will make the ride a memorable one. 

Also, Biking with family is an excellent way to bond and explore the city. With the right planning and preparation, you can ensure a safe and enjoyable experience for everyone involved. So, pack your bags, grab your helmets, and embark on a memorable biking adventure with your loved ones!

Kukdukoo Fest: A Celebration of Children's Literature and Art

Kukdukoo Fest is an annual event that takes place in various cities across India. It is a celebration of children's literature and art, with a focus on encouraging creativity and imagination in young minds. The festival brings together authors, speakers and artists to engage with children and inspire them to explore their own creativity.

On April 15, 2023 we participated in the Kukdokoo festival held at Kunskapsskolan Bengaluru, which is among the leading international schools in the city of Bengaluru. We primarily took part in the two-day family festival for the benefit of our 3-year-old son, Hethvick. 

As we had anticipated, our son had a great time participating in all the activities at the festival. During the fest, my son received balloons and a few goodies, enjoyed a nature walk, won an interactive game, and had the chance to take part in a school-organized experiment. 

The Kukdukoo festival is a good platform to nurture a love for reading in children's literature by exposing them to various stalls as well as provide a fun and engaging experience for young. 

The fest features a range of activities for children, including storytelling sessions, book readings, art workshops, and interactive games. Children can meet their favorite authors and ask them questions, and get their books signed. I am hopeful that my son will develop a strong habit of reading, and in a few years, he may even have the opportunity to meet some of the authors whose works he enjoys.

One of the highlights of the festival is the Kukdukoo Book Awards, which recognizes the best children's books of the year. Kukdukoo Fest has become a popular event for families and we saw lot of children and parents participating. 

We had a good time by participating in Kukdukoo Fest and attending events like the Kukdokoo festival gives me hope that my son as well as other children will be encouraged to cultivate a passion for reading and creativity. If you have children who love books and art, be sure to attend Kukdukoo Fest the next time it comes to your city!
