Living in Bengaluru means some of South India’s best holiday spots are only a few hours away. If you have a long weekend or can take a day or two off, these five trips give you a proper break without spending half your holiday travelling.
1. Kabini – wildlife and river views (2 days)
About 4–5 hours by road, Kabini sits on the edge of Nagarhole National Park. Morning and evening jungle safaris give you a chance to spot elephants, deer, bison and, if you are lucky, leopards and tigers. Riverside resorts make it ideal for couples and families who want to switch off. See our Short Escape to Kabini package.
2. Mysore – palaces and gardens (2 days)
Mysore Palace, Chamundi Hills and the illuminated Brindavan Gardens make Mysore a perfect heritage weekend. It combines easily with Ooty if you have an extra day or two.
3. Ooty – the classic hill station (3 days)
Tea gardens, the Botanical Garden, Ooty Lake and the toy train make Ooty a favourite with families. Our Bangalore–Mysore–Ooty tour covers both in one relaxed trip.
4. Wayanad – waterfalls and green hills (2–3 days)
Pookode Lake, Soochipara Falls, Banasura Sagar Dam and Edakkal Caves make Wayanad great for nature lovers. Explore our Scenic Wayanad package.
5. Goa – beaches and nightlife (3–4 days)
A short flight or overnight journey takes you to Goa’s beaches, forts and cafés. Add the Dudhsagar waterfalls for something different. See our Goa trip with Dudhsagar.
Tips for a stress-free weekend trip
- Leave early on Friday or Saturday morning to avoid city traffic.
- Book safaris and resorts in advance on long weekends – they sell out fast.
- Carry light woollens for Ooty and Wayanad, even in summer evenings.
