Weekend Backpacking Getaways from Bangalore
Ditch the city grind. Our 2-day backpacking trips handle the transport, stay, and permits, so you can just focus on the hills, the falls, and finding your people.
Here's a look at our popular 2-day backpacking trips. Choose from misty hill stations like Kodaikanal and Munnar or heritage sites like Hampi. All packages include transport from Bangalore, stay, and guided sightseeing.

About Weekend Backpacking Getaways
You do not need to coordinate anything. We handle the pushback transport, dormitory or tent stays, forest permits, and all meals. Just show up on Friday night ready to unplug, and we take care of the rest until you are back on Sunday evening.
Travel should feel like a reset, not another checklist. Our weekend backpacking trips are designed for people who are tired of the daily 9-to-5 loop and just want to get out into the Western Ghats. Whether you are traveling solo or with a group of friends, the goal is to make real connections while exploring the outdoors.
Why these weekend trips work
We focus on destinations that offer a real change of pace. Think misty coffee plantations in Chikmagalur, the dense forests of Wayanad, or the heritage ruins of Hampi. Because we arrange everything from the Bangalore departure to the local 4x4 transfers and guided treks, you avoid the logistical headaches of booking individual homestays or finding reliable transport.
What to expect
- Transport: We operate non-AC pushback seater buses, departing Bangalore on Friday night so you can wake up in nature on Saturday.
- Stay: We prioritize authentic experiences. You will stay in homestays or camping setups where the vibe is chill, not formal. Expect bonfire nights and common hangout areas.
- The Crew: Our trip captains are there to keep things moving and help you meet people. You will see impromptu dance-offs on the bus and conversations that go deeper than small talk.
We tell it like it is. If it is monsoon season, expect rain and leeches on the trails. If it is a popular peak, expect other hikers. We do not sugarcoat the reality of trekking because that is part of the charm. If you are ready to swap your screen for a sunrise and your stress for a trail, come join the tribe.
