About Cultural & Experiential Tours
Why We Do What We Do
I’m all about turning travel into something real. Not just the sights, but the vibe, the stories, and the random connections. You could join as a total stranger and end up with a bunch of new friends. That’s just how our trips roll.
South India Cultural Immersion
History, legends, and a bit of masala. We wander through magical places like Hampi’s ancient ruins, float on coracles, and swap stories about kings who once ruled Namma Karnataka. At Gandikota, you’ll be staring out at the "Grand Canyon of India" - it’s next-level. Pondicherry brings a pop of colour with its French streets and laid-back Auroville life.
Spiritual Journey in India & Epic Landmarks
If you’re hunting for a spiritual hit or want some jaw-dropping moments, these trips deliver. From the glowing Adiyogi Shiva Statue at night, to the peaceful Golden Temple in Coorg, and wild places like Dhanushkodi or Murudeshwar’s giant Shiva, expect good energy and a whole lot of awe.
Live the Local Experience
We cruise Alleppey’s backwaters, wander coffee estates, ride the Nilgiri toy train, and even try on local Himachali outfits. There’s always something authentic, whether it’s sipping chai in a tiny cafe or hopping islands in Hampi.
The Vibe
Mostly weekend trips. We usually head out Friday night from Bangalore or Chennai and bring you back before Monday. The journey’s half the fun - think music, stories, and people who actually want to be here.

My Story
We’re Adventure Buddha, just a bunch of Bangalore folks who got fed up with boring weekends and routines. We wanted stories, not just chores. So we started planning trips that felt real—no flags, no tight schedules. You just show up, meet new people, and somehow, by Sunday, everyone’s family. For us, it’s about adventure with a dash of peace, like sipping chai on a misty Coorg hill. We love our Namma Karnataka and sharing its hidden gems.
My Work
Trips We Plan - Group road trips from Bangalore, weekend getaways, treks, and cultural tours—always with a chill, friendly vibe.
Our Crowd - If you’re a solo traveller or just want to meet cool folks, this is for you. Bring a backpack and an open mind.
Where We Go - Chikmagalur, Gokarna, Coorg, Hampi, Pondicherry, plus bigger adventures like Spiti and Meghalaya.
What Happens - One weekend’s a trek, next is a temple visit, maybe a local festival like Theyyam. Always something different.
