20 real treks near Bangalore, tried and tested with a child aged 4 to 6.

Want to take your kids trekking but don't know where to start? We didn't either. We were never a trekking family – then one short hill with the kids turned into 20 treks in two years. This book is everything we learned, so your family can do it too.

For every trek you get:
- Distance, climb, difficulty and how clear the path is – rated by a family, not by expert trekkers
- Drive time from Bangalore and where to start
- What worked, what went wrong (thorns, lost paths, hot rock, monkeys after our snacks) and what we'd do differently
- QR codes to watch the full trek video and open the start point in Google Maps
- Fun facts, legends and history to keep kids curious on the way up

Also inside:
- Plan your own trek: all 20 hills in one table, from an easy 80 m temple hill to a 470 m rocky climb, so you can pick the right one for your child's age and stamina
- Trekking with kids: practical tips on the best season, start times, water, snacks, clothes, safety and when to turn back
- A packing checklist and the trekking rules our son lives by

The treks cover Hosur, Krishnagiri, Ramanagara, Dharmapuri and Shivamogga – mostly same-day trips from Bangalore.

Written by parents, through the eyes of a young trekker who climbed all 20 before he turned seven. Kids aged 7–10 will love reading his adventures; parents will love having the plan.
