Turahalli's boulder fields are a local training ground for climbers and bouldering groups on the city's southern edge.
Turahalli Reserve Forest has clusters of granite boulders used for bouldering and beginners' climbing practice. There are no formal facilities, and most climbers bring crash pads and use group meets organised by local climbing communities. Forest Department rules apply, so activity is generally limited to daylight hours.
