Only place where I know of restrictions is in bandipur - mudumalai forest areas. Rest all are devoid of any restrictions.
Make sure to take your presence of mind wherever you are allowing the journey especially in the wild, anything else can be discounted but not this :)
All the best and come back with more stories.

Hey everyone,--I plan to cycle the western ghats covering most of the wild life sanctuaries and national parks in December over 2 weeks. (self supported, solo tour).Question - Are solo cyclists allowed thoroughfare into national parks and wild life sanctuaries on western ghats? have driven through a few times and they make note of reg number etc. What is the process they follow for solo touring cyclists?PS : have seen many "groups" ride through TFN is one example, but have never heard of anyone going solo, hence checking.

Kabini I allowed. Hence mysore - Kabini - mananthavadi - Kutta -srimangala is a possible alternative.
We had cycled through Mudhumalai couple of times few years back, as part of CAM rides. We had skipped Bandipur, but I thought that was due to lack of time.
The Nagahole forest, which others have already mentioned, is the only one I am aware of as restricting cyclists (or all two wheelers?), in Karnataka.
I have cycled solo through Waynad. And from Manantavady side to Kutta.
Have a nice a safe tour.

Not just solo riders. Closed to All cyclists, unless it's specifically approved.

One needs to be careful in vaduvanchal-sultan batheri section especially if it's early morning /evenings
Mananthavadi-kutta is also a similar case.

Cycling through Nagarhole ? That is clearly ruled out, no?
-{db}.
The gate from Kutta side, had significant forest official presence when I had gone there. There was a DFO there, which I think is not a oficial level you will see at the gates. Ofcourse, it might have just been a coincidence.
On the off chance they do allow you... my understanding is that Nagarhole has been the one forest where cyclists (or perhaps all 2-wheelers?) have been consistently barred for quite a few years. If one is suddenly allowed, that might actually be an oversight on part of the specific forest officials. Look at it as doing the right thing, not as a try and get by if you can.
It is a tiger reserve, IIRC. That poses a specifically greater danger.

From kutta side,The ride of any two wheeler is banned.
I was suggesting from hdkote to kalpetta and that's allowed
Hope you are having a nice tour in India. What parts are you riding through? Any blog where you share your experiences?
Happy & safe cycling.
-{db}.
The cycling in India has been wonderful thus far, I keep telling people that I actually feel safer cycling here than most of the places I've cycled in the US. It's been a real eye opener. We started in Bangalore and are just now completing our loop from Kalpetta up to Hunsur, and back into Mysore tomorrow. (Taking the train from there to Bangalore due to time constraints) I'll be posting photos/thoughts/writeup to my blog when I get back to the US as I was unable to bring a laptop with me this trip.
You'll be able to find those entries here:

I have done some cycling in the US on cycle trials... can't imagine that feeling more risky than cycling in India. :)
Will check your blog; look forward to your posts from this trip too.
Have a nice remainder of your trip/tour here.
