Bangalore’s Kudlu Gate area has become known as a discreet location for men seeking encounters, particularly in the evenings. User reports suggest activity picks up after 6 PM, with individuals gathering near the bushes and lakeside area close to what was formerly a Skoda showroom, now a Royal Enfield showroom, on the service road towards Hosa Road from Kudlu junction. While some early reports mentioned safety concerns and police patrolling, more recent accounts indicate it remains a spot for those in the know.
Initial comments from users dating back to 2017 describe it as a quiet location, somewhat hidden behind bushes, offering privacy at night. The area was suggested as having potential to become a more active cruising spot if more people became aware of it. However, contrasting opinions emerged, with some users in February 2017 warning of potential dangers, advising caution due to the secluded nature of the location.
Despite these early warnings, later reports indicate continued activity. By March 2017, mentioning the toilet beside the Skoda showroom as a landmark, users confirmed the area within the bushes as the cruising location. Concerns about safety and police presence were raised again in August 2023, advising vigilance due to known police patrols. However, this was countered by more recent experiences in 2024, with users describing successful encounters and highlighting the presence of “handsome locals,” including college students and workers, especially after 6:30 PM.
Recent user accounts from late 2024 confirm the spot remains active, particularly in the evening. While some note the bushes have thinned, reducing privacy in certain areas, venturing deeper into the location at night is still suggested for more discreet encounters. The area is described as accessible via the metro, with the service road near the Kudlu Gate metro station, towards Hosa Road on the left side, being the general vicinity. Landmarks mentioned include the former Skoda showroom (now Royal Enfield) and the lake. Users recommend caution, advising visitors to carry condoms and practice safe sex. The user feedback paints a picture of a somewhat discreet, albeit intermittently active, cruising location in the Kudlu Gate area of Bangalore, known to locals and those seeking nighttime encounters.
