About Destination Deep Dive: Coorg, Wayanad & Hampi
On our Coorg, Wayanad, and Hampi weekend getaways, we don't do boring sightseeing tours. We handle the 4x4 jeep transfers for off-road viewpoints, the homestay bookings, and the route planning, so you can just show up. If you are traveling solo, don't worry, you will fit right in with the group.
How We Roll
We start our journeys with an overnight bus ride from Bangalore on Friday night. Expect music, chats, and the usual bus madness that helps break the ice before we reach the destination. By the time we hit the Saturday morning air, you'll already feel like you've been traveling with these folks for a while.
Where We Go
- Coorg: Expect coffee plantations, misty hills, and the kind of quiet that resets your head. We include local jeep transfers for spots like Mandalpatti.
- Wayanad: Think glass bridges, caves, and lush green forest trails. It's about nature, but the good kind.
- Hampi: This is more than just stone ruins. We take you through the boulder-strewn landscapes and heritage sites that make this place a UNESCO wonder.
The Logistics (The Stuff You Need to Know)
We keep it real with our arrangements. You'll be staying in shared homestays or budget hotels with basic, clean facilities—this isn't a luxury resort trip. Meals are strictly vegetarian and follow a set menu; for destinations like Hampi or Munnar, we sometimes skip lunch so you can explore local cafes and eat exactly what you want.
Everything is pre-arranged, including entry fees for standard tourist spots. If you want to do extra activities like rafting or surfing, we can facilitate it, but you'll need to pay for those directly. Our trip captains are there to keep things moving and make sure nobody gets left behind, but they are also just part of the gang.
