About Weekend Backpacking Getaways
Forget the stress of booking buses or hunting for homestays. When you join one of our weekend getaways, you just show up at our pickup point on Friday night. I handle the AC Tempo Traveller, the local permits, and the comfortable homestay bookings so you spend your Saturday and Sunday actually hiking, boating, or sipping tea with new friends.
You do not need a long vacation to recharge. We specialize in quick, soul-satisfying trips from Bengaluru that get you back to work on Monday feeling fresh.
Why our backpacker trips work
We move away from the rigid schedule of standard tours. Our focus is on the vibe and the connections you make along the way. Whether we are chasing the sunrise at Kolukkumalai in Munnar or walking through the Guna Caves in Kodaikanal, the goal is simple. We want you to disconnect from the office network and connect with people.
What we handle for you
- Transport: We provide a private AC Tempo Traveller with pushback seats. We start every Friday night, so you can leave your work week behind the moment you clock out.
- Stays: I personally handpick our homestays. We look for places with character, comfortable beds, and safe environments for our groups, especially for our female trekkers.
- Food & Permits: From forest entry fees to authentic local meals, all logistics are covered. You will not have to worry about finding a guide or getting caught in permit queues.
Who joins us?
Our trips are open to everyone. We see plenty of solo travelers, groups of college friends, and corporate teams. If you are looking for a community that feels less like a travel agency and more like a group of friends heading out for a weekend, you are in the right place.
Banni, let us go explore.
Bengaluru Trekkers
I started Bengaluru Trekkers with a simple dream to find trails and make friends, and now I am lucky to have a 100k-strong family. I do not just plan trips. I create a space where you can leave the city noise behind and actually connect with people. If you are looking for a weekend that feels like a trip with friends rather than a tour package, you are in the right place.
