Weekend Getaways
Weekend getaways from Bengaluru: coffee hills and lost ruins
Coorg, Chikmagalur, Mysuru and the otherworldly boulders of Hampi, all within a weekend.
Bengaluru's location is a cheat code for weekends.
Coffee country
Coorg and Chikmagalur for misty hills, coffee estates, waterfalls and cosy homestays. Peak monsoon is dramatic; winter is cosy.
Heritage hits
Mysuru for the lit-up palace and a proper royal-city feel. Hampi, a bit further, for the surreal boulder landscape and Vijayanagara-era ruins that look like a video game level.
Quick nature
Skandagiri for a night trek, or the Shivanasamudra falls when the rivers are full.
