Gandikota Trail Run 2026

About the Gandikota Trail Run Experience

At Gandikota, the experience begins before the run.

Some participants choose to stay back near the fort, spend the evening under open skies, unwind in tents, and take in a calm that is hard to find in everyday life. As the night settles in, the surroundings slow down, the sky opens up, and the location reveals a side most visitors never get to see.

This stay experience is limited and available only to a small number of participants.

The Run

On 8 February, runners can choose between a 3 Km or 5 Km trail run, set across open paths and natural terrain. The distances are easy for first time runners as well, making this run approachable, relaxed, and enjoyable.

The route allows runners to move at their own pace, take in the surroundings, and experience Gandikota at a time of day when it feels quiet and untouched.
