About Hill Station Escapes: Coorg, Chikmagalur & Ooty
We don't believe in rigid itineraries or tourist traps. When we head to Chikmagalur or Coorg, we focus on local experiences, like a sunrise trek at Mullayanagiri, quiet time at a coffee estate, or a spontaneous bonfire night under the stars. You are travelling in a 12 to 14-seater Tempo Traveller, which is where the real bonding starts long before we even reach the hills.
Why our hill station trips are different
We started Adventure Buddha because we were tired of boring weekends and wanted more than just a drive. Our trips to Coorg, Chikmagalur, and Ooty are designed for those who want to escape the city grind without the hassle of planning. We handle all the logistics—the Tempo Traveller, the homestay bookings, and the activity coordination—so you just need to bring your backpack and an open mind.
What to expect on the road
When we visit Chikmagalur, we don't just stop at the viewpoints. We take you to the places that matter, like the historic temples in Belur or the serene Siri Cafe. In Coorg, expect more than just the usual tourist spots. We find the quiet corners of the coffee estates and ensure you get time to actually breathe in the mountain air.
Our groups are a mix of solo travellers, small friend groups, and curious explorers. By the time Sunday night rolls around and we are heading back to Bangalore, it is rare that people are still acting like strangers. We use the drive time to play music, share stories, and facilitate ice-breakers so everyone feels like they have been friends for years.
Practical details for your trip
- Transport: We use 12-14 seater Tempo Travellers for all our weekend getaways. It is comfortable, reliable, and perfect for group bonding.
- Stay: We prioritize cozy homestays and guest houses. You will be sharing rooms on a triple or quad basis to keep the community vibe alive.
- Food: We include South Indian breakfasts and dinner buffets to keep everyone fueled for the trekking and sightseeing.
- Departure: We typically depart from Bangalore on Friday night and return by late Sunday, ensuring you are back and ready for the week ahead.
