# Team offsites from Bengaluru: what one or two nights away costs a head

We read what resorts, government lodges, a bus company and offsite agencies near Bengaluru publish, and asked five hosts and performers who work at offsites what they charge and what their price leaves out. It answers what a head costs, where to go, and what gets added to the bill.

Stays, the bus, drinks and games · One night or two · Page updated 22 Oct 2026, prices dated in Sources

Stay, bus and agency prices are each business's own published price, read on 21 and 22 October 2026. Host, act and food prices are what each provider told us. Where we added prices up, it says our estimate. Check every price when you book.

## Q1. How much does a one-night team offsite from Bengaluru cost per person?

**About ₹2,900 to ₹3,600 a head for one night near the city, with a shared bus and the meals and games a resort's package page lists, if a colleague runs the games.** That's our sum for 30 people from a resort's and a bus company's own prices. It leaves out GST, tolls, the driver's night halt and drinks, and the resort's own FAQ says meals aren't included, so ask. A host adds about ₹700 to ₹1,000 a head for 2 to 3 hours of games, or ₹3,300 for a full day, plus travel.

**What lands on an offsite bill**

![An illustration of a resort lawn near Bengaluru at dusk: tiled-roof cottages on the left, a white coach parked inside the gate, a woman with a microphone leading a circle of colleagues in a game, a performer holding up cards on a small wooden stage, two speakers on stands, and a thatched bar counter on the right](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/bill-7a347a6d61.png)

1. **The stay, the meals and the resort's games:** ₹2,500 to ₹5,000 a head. A resort in Kanakapura taluk's own prices, from a tent to a private-pool suite, one night. Its package page lists meals, but its FAQ says they aren't included, so ask. Pick id: `piece:stay`.
2. **The bus for 30:** ₹38 a km. One Bengaluru operator's 30-seater out of town, with a 300 km minimum for the trip, plus ₹700 a day for the driver. Tolls and parking extra. Pick id: `piece:bus-for-30`.
3. **A host running the games:** ₹20,000 to ₹30,000. Ruby Gracia's rate card, for 2 to 3 hours, plus her travel and stay. Sushmita Sethia quotes ₹1,00,000 for a full day, plus travel for two. Pick id: `piece:host-running-the-games`.
4. **An act on a small stage:** ₹15,000. Illusionist Rajan, about an hour on a small platform. On a stage you build, ₹25,000 and up. Pradeep Tyson quotes ₹35,000 to ₹70,000. You arrange the crew's food and rooms. Pick id: `piece:act-on-a-small-stage`.
5. **The speakers and mics:** ₹1,000 to ₹1,200 with Rajan's show. Illusionist Rajan brings his own sound for this if you ask. The other hosts and acts here don't, so ask the resort what its own costs. Pick id: `piece:speakers-and-mics`.
6. **The bar:** Ask the resort. Ask whether its licence covers your group's event before anyone brings a bottle (question 7). Pick id: `piece:bar`.

The stay and bus prices are those businesses' own. The host's and the act's are what these hosts and acts on mytribe told us. Not a quote for this setup. Picture: Illustration by mytribe.

**How we got ₹2,900 to ₹3,600.** Thirty people, one night at a resort near the city: a tent at ₹2,500 a head or a cottage at ₹3,200, as its package page lists them. Then a 30-seat bus at one operator's outstation rate, ₹38 a km with a 300 km minimum for the trip, plus ₹700 a day for the driver for two days: ₹12,800, or about ₹430 a head. That holds while the round trip stays under 300 km. Left out: GST on the stay (its page doesn't say) and on the bus, tolls, parking, the driver's night halt and food, and drinks.

**Adding a host.** Ruby Gracia's 2 to 3 hours of games at ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 works out to about ₹700 to ₹1,000 a head for 30, plus her travel and stay. Sushmita Sethia's full day at ₹1,00,000 is about ₹3,300 a head, plus travel for her and an assistant.

**What one night's stay costs further out.** Per head for one night, from each place's own page:

- **A tent or dorm bed at a resort near the city:** ₹2,500 to ₹3,000. A resort in Kanakapura taluk, with meals, a pool, a trek, kayaking and a bonfire on its package page (its FAQ says meals aren't included, so ask). The dorm is ₹3,000 plus GST. ![An illustration of two canvas tents on a lawn with mattresses inside, a long shared table of simple meals on steel plates, a ring of stones for a bonfire and two bicycles](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/stay-1-tent-dcc1ad8819.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A cottage near the city:** ₹3,200 to ₹5,000. The same resort, from a cottage to a private-pool suite, GST not stated. A villa stay with a water park near the airport is ₹5,000 plus 18% GST. ![An illustration of a tiled-roof cottage with a twin room seen through its open door, a small shared pool, a kayak by a lake and a buffet table of simple meals](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/stay-2-cottage-94dbc405af.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A tented cottage at a government river camp:** From ₹4,814. Two to a room, with three meals, a coracle ride, a trek, forest fees and GST. Getting there is extra. ![An illustration of a tented cottage on a wooden platform by a river, a round coracle boat on the bank, a forest path and three plates of meals on a table](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/stay-3-rivercamp-7ab6ce9b48.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A government wildlife lodge at Kabini:** ₹10,017 to ₹17,600. Its online prices for one night, from a dorm bed to a cottage, with all meals, two safaris, forest fees and GST. Kabini needs two nights, so double it. A room alone costs 30% more than sharing. ![An illustration of an open safari jeep and a small safari boat on a river bank, with an old tiled-roof bungalow behind them, a twin room through its open door and a table set with three plates on the verandah](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/stay-4-govtlodge-v2-4ee5782f79.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.
- **A luxury lodge at Kabini:** From ₹42,000 for two. One night for two people sharing, so ₹21,000 each, with breakfast, dinner and taxes. Lunch and safaris aren't listed. Two nights: ₹84,000 for two. ![An illustration of a thatched hut with mud walls by a river, a double bed seen through its open door, and on its wooden deck a candle-lit dinner table for two and a breakfast tray](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/site/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru/stay-5-luxlodge-v2-e65e3d39f7.png) Picture: Illustration by mytribe.

A government jungle camp in Dandeli has dorm beds at ₹1,888 a night with meals, activities extra. It's a long drive, so plan two nights and a longer bus hire.

**Source of this answer:** resorts', government lodges' and a bus company's own published prices, read on 21 and 22 October 2026, two hosts' own prices, and our sum for 30 people.

- [Tejas Travels](https://www.tejastravels.com/blogs/travel-guides/guide-to-bus-rental-bangalore-price): 30-seat bus ₹38 a km out of town, fuel in, "a 300 km minimum for outstation trips", driver ₹700 a day; tolls, parking and interstate permits on top. Updated 21 October 2026.
- [Ruby Gracia](https://mytribe.in/rubygraciaofficial): ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 for 2 to 3 hours of team games, her own rate card, September 2026. [Sushmita Sethia](https://mytribe.in/sushmitasethia): ₹1,00,000 for a full day with activities, on a recorded call with mytribe, September 2026.
- Our sum, for 30 people: ₹2,500 or ₹3,200 a head, plus the bus at the 300 km minimum × ₹38 = ₹11,400 and the driver at 2 × ₹700 = ₹1,400, so ₹12,800, or ₹427 a head. ₹2,927 to ₹3,627, rounded to ₹2,900 to ₹3,600. It assumes a round trip under 300 km.

## Q2. Where should a Bengaluru team go for an offsite: near the city, Coorg, Goa or abroad?

**First time, with 30 people: go somewhere near the city for one night.** Coorg, Chikmagalur or Kabini need two nights and a longer bus hire: one operator's Coorg page says roughly ₹19,700 plus GST. For Wayanad or Ooty, the road through Bandipur shuts at night. Goa and abroad mean flights, and we found no published team fare.

| Where | Nights | The bus | Watch for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Near the city: Kanakapura Road, Nandi Hills, the airport side | One | Out of town: ₹38 a km, 300 km minimum for the trip. The ₹10,000 package (8 hours, 80 km) is for a day in the city | The government hotel on Nandi Hills charges more at weekends |
| Coorg, Chikmagalur, Sakleshpur, Kabini | Two | Coorg: roughly ₹19,700 plus GST, on the operator's Coorg page; night halt extra | Kabini's safaris reopened fully in June 2026 with fewer trips, and phones aren't allowed on them |
| Wayanad, Ooty | Two | By the km, plus a permit for another state | The road through Bandipur shuts from about 8.30 or 9 pm to 6 am. Wayanad has shut tourist spots in heavy rain |
| Dandeli | Two | By the km | Rafting runs October to May |
| Goa | Two or three, by air | Flights: we found no published team fare | One Goa agency's 2 nights: ₹4,500 to ₹10,000 a head, flights not included |
| Abroad: Thailand, Sri Lanka | Three or more, by air | Flights | A Thailand group tour from Bangalore starts at ₹79,000 a head, airfare in by its list, shared with other travellers. Indians get 30 days in Thailand without a visa, the embassy's notice says |

**The drive sets the bus bill.** Out of town the bus is billed by the km from its garage and back, with a 300 km minimum, plus the driver's ₹700 a day and a night halt charge on a trip of more than a day (question 6).

**For a leadership group of 10 to 15**, Kabini works well: the government lodge's price includes all meals and two safaris, so the bill is close to the quote.

**Two lodges at Kabini, and what each price covers, for one night:**

|  | The government lodge | A luxury lodge nearby |
|---|---|---|
| Price a head, two to a room | ₹15,546 for a room, its online price. ₹18,290 listed | From ₹42,000 for two. So ₹21,000 each |
| Meals | Breakfast, lunch and dinner | Breakfast and dinner; lunch not listed |
| Safaris | Two, with a coracle ride and forest fees | Not listed; arranged after you book, through the same government system |
| Tax | 18% GST in | Taxes in |
| A room alone | 30% more than sharing | Not stated |

Each lodge's own page, 22 October 2026. Two nights doubles each.

The two prices cover different things, so set the full bill side by side before you choose. The government lodge's 14 bungalow rooms hold 28 at two to a room, and its 14 cottages, at ₹17,600 a head, hold 28 more.

**Source of this answer:** a bus company's own rate page and guide, the lodges' and an agency's own pages, a tour operator's own list, and news reports and official posts on roads, safaris and visas.

## Q3. Why does one offsite host charge more than another for a 2-hour team session?

**For about two hours of team games in the city, Ruby Gracia charges ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 and Sushmita Sethia ₹35,000 to ₹40,000.** The extra buys years on the job: Sushmita's own deck claims 12 years and 1,000 events, and she takes one event a day. Ruby has hosted for pay since March 2026, about 25 events in her words.

**Ruby Gracia, ₹20,000 to ₹30,000**
- 2 to 3 hours of team games
- The price moves with the hours only
- Hosting for pay since March 2026, about 25 events, in her words
- Half the advance back if you cancel
![Ruby Gracia in a blue blazer, smiling, holding a microphone](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/ec3a723b-6f69-4088-9873-ff4b344f4bf6) Photo: Ruby Gracia.

**Sushmita Sethia, ₹35,000 to ₹40,000**
- About 2 hours of a show with activities
- The price moves with headcount and the number of activities
- 12+ years and 1,000+ events, on her own deck. She takes one event a day.
- The advance isn't refunded
![Sushmita Sethia in a green blazer and glasses, smiling](https://assets.mytribe.in/insecure/rs:fit:1200:0/f:webp/plain/s3://mytribe-assets-production/76c18a10-6aa3-48ce-951c-077ba5c051e1) Photo: Sushmita Sethia.

Their own prices for a session in Bengaluru, September 2026. Photos are from their profiles.

**What the extra pays for.** Sushmita told us that taking one date means turning another away, so she works one event a day, and that a company event takes more time and effort than a family one. Ruby prices by the clock, whatever the headcount, and brings her own props. Sushmita's standard game props are free and custom ones extra. Both leave the sound to you.

**Out of town, both add travel.** Sushmita's 3-hour award night out of town is ₹50,000, plus travel for her and an assistant. Ruby's 3 to 4 hours are ₹30,000 to ₹40,000, and her travel and stay are yours.

**Stays work the same way.** At one Kanakapura resort a tent is ₹2,500 a head and a private-pool suite ₹5,000. Its package page lists the same meals and games for both, so the extra buys the room.

**Source of this answer:** two hosts' own prices and what they told us, and one near-city resort's own page.

- [Ruby Gracia](https://mytribe.in/rubygraciaofficial): team building ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 for 2 to 3 hours, ₹30,000 to ₹40,000 for 3 to 4; hours move the price, headcount doesn't; carries her own props, the mic and PA are the client's; paid hosting since March 2026, about 25 events (her words); 50% to book, half the advance back on cancelling; outside Bengaluru travel and stay are the client's. Her own rate card and her call with our team, 16 September 2026.
- [Sushmita Sethia](https://mytribe.in/sushmitasethia): about 2 hours in the city ₹35,000 to ₹40,000, depending on headcount and how many activities; standard game props free, custom extra; sound is the client's; 12+ years and 1,000+ events on her own deck; one event a day; the advance isn't refunded; a 3-hour award night out of town ₹50,000 plus travel for two. Recorded call with mytribe, 11 September 2026.
- [Sky Blue Orchids](https://www.skyblueorchids.com/weekend-trip-packages-bangalore.php): tent ₹2,500, private-pool suite ₹5,000 a head. Read 21 October 2026.

## Q4. Should we book a team offsite through an agency or directly with the resort?

**For one night near the city, call the resort yourself: its package covers most of the trip, and you add the bus.** We'd bring in an agency or a travel agent only for flights, a hundred people or visas. One Goa agency charges ₹1,200 to ₹2,000 a head just to run the activities, and says it doesn't handle flights.

**What each way gives you.**

- **Booking direct.** The resort's package is the stay, the meals and its games. You add the bus, and a host if you want one. It's an evening of calls and a sign-up form.
- **An agency.** Worth it, we think, for flights, groups of a hundred or more, or a country to cross. Compare its stay line with the resort's own published price, so you can see what the agency adds. Ask whether its quote covers its own staff's travel and stay.
- **A travel agent's group tour.** The cheapest tours abroad put your team in a group with other travellers. Ask for a private departure if you want the team on its own.
- **Get the plan in writing.** In July 2026 a Mumbai consumer commission ordered a Bengaluru travel firm to pay ₹60,000 over a Thailand tour. The complaint said the firm cut islands from the plan two days before departure and swapped the hotel. Every hotel and every stop goes in the contract.

**Source of this answer:** an agency's and a tour operator's own pages, and a news report of a consumer commission's order.

- [Teamification](https://www.teamification.in/goa/corporate-team-building/): its facilitation alone ₹1,200 to ₹2,000 a head, inside a Goa offsite of ₹4,500 to ₹10,000 a head; it says it does not manage flights or travel. GST not stated. Read 21 October 2026.
- [Veena World](https://www.veenaworld.com/world/bangkok-tour-packages-from-bangalore/ct): group tours from Bangalore with other travellers.
- Mumbai consumer commission: ₹40,000 for deficiency and ₹20,000 costs against a Bengaluru firm over a ₹99,500 Thailand tour, on the complainant's account, [News Karnataka](https://newskarnataka.com/bengaluru/consumer-panel-orders-bengaluru-travel-firm-to-pay-%e2%82%b960000-over-ladies-only-tour/27072026/), 27 July 2026.
- Agency commissions from resorts: we found no source either way. When to use an agency is our view.

## Q5. What does a resort's per-head offsite price leave out?

**Per-head prices assume two to a room. At the government lodges a room alone costs 30% more than sharing. Before you pay, get the meals, the weekend rate, GST, and how many people can drop out by when, in writing.** One resort's package page lists meals while its own FAQ says they aren't included, so ask.

**Got a resort's per-head quote for one night? See where it sits**

| If the quote is | What that is | Who is in that range | What to ask |
|---|---|---|---|
| Under ₹2,500 | A dorm or tent bed, activities often extra | A government jungle camp's dorm in Dandeli: ₹1,888 with meals, activities extra | Which meals and activities does it cover, and is GST on top? |
| ₹2,500 to ₹5,500 | A resort near the city, with meals | A resort in Kanakapura taluk: tent ₹2,500, cottage ₹3,200, private-pool suite ₹5,000; A government river camp: from ₹4,814, GST in | Does it assume two to a room, and are all three meals in? |
| ₹5,500 to ₹15,000 | A villa with a park near the city, or a Kabini lodge's dorm or tent | A villa stay with a water park near the airport: ₹5,000 plus 18% GST, so ₹5,900; The government Kabini lodge, online prices: dorm ₹10,017, tent ₹13,545, with all meals, two safaris and GST | What does it add over a near-city resort: safaris, a meeting room, a corporate rate? |
| Over ₹15,000 | A wildlife lodge's room or a luxury lodge | The government Kabini lodge, online prices: room ₹15,546, cottage ₹17,600; A luxury Kabini lodge: from ₹42,000 for two, so ₹21,000 each, breakfast and dinner | Are lunch and safaris in, and what does cancelling cost? |

A clear quote names:

- **All three meals.** Ask. One resort's package page lists them and its own FAQ says they aren't included.
- **Two to a room.** At the government lodges a room alone costs 30% more than sharing.
- **GST, and at what rate.** 5% on a room up to ₹7,500 a night. Above that, ask which rate applies.
- **The weekend rate.** Ask. The government hotel on Nandi Hills charges more at weekends.
- **How many can drop out, and by when.** Ask, and get it in writing.
- **What cancelling costs.** At the government Kabini lodge: 10% if 15 or more days out, half from 14 days to 48 hours, all of it after that.

- **The advance.** The government Kabini lodge wants the whole amount up front. One Coorg resort says it may charge for the whole stay if you cancel, and asks for at least 5 cottages. One near-city resort keeps a dorm booking cancelled inside 7 days.
- **Dropouts.** No resort page we read says how many people you can drop. Agree the number and the date it locks before you pay, or you pay for the empty beds.
- **GST.** A room up to ₹7,500 a night carries 5% GST since 22 September 2025. Ask which rate applies to a package with meals, and to a room above that.

**Source of this answer:** the resorts' and lodges' own pages, read on 21 and 22 October 2026, and the government's GST summary.

- [Jungle Lodges, Kabini River Lodge](https://www.junglelodges.com/kabini-river-lodge): rooms two to a room, a room alone 30% more; online prices beside higher listed ones; 100% advance; cancelling 15 days or more out costs 10% of the booking, from 14 days to 48 hours half, inside 48 hours all of it. Read 22 October 2026.
- [Sky Blue Orchids](https://www.skyblueorchids.com/budget-friendly-dormitory-bangalore.php): the package page lists meals; the dorm page's FAQ says meals are not included; dorm bookings cancelled inside 7 days aren't refunded.
- [Tamara Coorg](https://thetamara.com/coorg-resort/corporate-getaway/): corporate stays from 5 luxury cottages; it reserves the right to charge for the entire stay on cancellation; no price published.
- [KSTDC, Mayura Pine Top](https://kstdc.co/hotels/hotel-mayura-pine-top-nandi-hills/): higher rates at weekends, seasonal hikes on top.
- GST on hotel rooms up to ₹7,500 a day cut from 12% to 5%: [PIB, GST Reforms 2025](https://static.pib.gov.in/WriteReadData/specificdocs/documents/2025/sep/doc202594628401.pdf), September 2025. The 22 September 2025 start is from a [PIB FAQ](https://www.pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=2167151).

## Q6. How much does a bus for 30 people cost for an offsite from Bengaluru?

**At one Bengaluru operator's rates, a 30-seater for one night near the city works out to about ₹12,800, around ₹430 a head for 30.** That's ₹38 a km with a 300 km minimum for an outstation trip, plus ₹700 a day for the driver. Its Coorg page says roughly ₹19,700 plus GST. Tolls, parking, the driver's night halt and another state's permit come on top.

| Bus | Out of town | A day in the city |
|---|---|---|
| 30 seats | ₹38 a km, 300 km minimum for the trip. Driver ₹700 a day | ₹10,000 for 8 hours or 80 km |
| 45 seats | ₹65 a km, 400 km minimum in its table (350 in its text). Driver ₹1,000 a day | ₹17,000 for 8 hours or 80 km |

- **What comes on top.** Tolls, parking and a permit for any other state. Its Coorg page adds GST, a night halt charge on a trip of more than a day, and the driver's allowance after 9:45 pm. Ask who pays for the driver's food and room.
- **Can the bus reach the gate?** Ask the resort before you book a 45-seater. For 30 people or fewer, the operator's Coorg page says a 25-seater minibus usually costs less.
- **Wayanad or Ooty.** The road through Bandipur is shut from about 8.30 or 9 pm to 6 am, so leave early enough to clear it by evening.

**Source of this answer:** one Bengaluru bus operator's own rate guide and Coorg page, and a news report on the Bandipur road.

- [Tejas Travels](https://www.tejastravels.com/blogs/travel-guides/guide-to-bus-rental-bangalore-price): 30-seat ₹38 a km and 45-seat ₹65 a km, fuel in; "a 300 km minimum for outstation trips, rising to 350 km for the 45-seater" (its table says 400 km for 45 seats); driver ₹700 and ₹1,000 a day, flat; local 8 hours or 80 km ₹10,000 and ₹17,000, for staying in the city; tolls, parking and interstate permits on top. Dated 25 June 2026, updated 21 October 2026. Its [Coorg page](https://www.tejastravels.com/bangalore-to-coorg-bus): "Roughly Rs 19,700", from ₹19,700 plus GST, driver allowance in; toll, parking, inter-state tax, the driver's allowance after 9:45 pm, night halt charges and GST extra; a 25-seater minibus usually more economical for thirty and below. Read 22 October 2026.
- Our sum: the 300 km minimum × ₹38 = ₹11,400, plus the driver 2 × ₹700 = ₹1,400, so ₹12,800, or ₹427 a head for 30, for a round trip under 300 km.
- Bandipur night closure: [Onmanorama](https://www.onmanorama.com/news/kerala/2026/01/30/wayanad-bandipur-mega-tunnel-road.html), 30 January 2026 (8.30 pm); other reports say 9 pm.

## Q7. Can we serve alcohol at a team offsite in Karnataka, and can we bring our own?

**Only where a licence covers it, so ask the resort before anyone packs a bottle.** A resort with its own licensed bar is the simple way. At a villa or farm stay, the venue or organiser applies for a one-day licence: likely ₹75,000 for a commercial event since 26 May 2026, or ₹20,000 for a private one.

**The law.** Karnataka's Excise Act bars drinking in a public place, which takes in places like a resort, unless a licence allows it, and bars the owner from allowing it. A resort without a licence that covers your event may simply say no to your bottles.

**The one-day licence.** The venue or the event's organiser applies for a one-day CL-5 licence. From 26 May 2026 it's likely ₹75,000 for a commercial event and ₹20,000 for a private one. A compliance firm's summary counts corporate gatherings as commercial, but we couldn't confirm which one a company's own offsite is, so ask the resort.

**On the night.** Name one person who stays sober and is in charge until the end. Agree when the bar closes. Plan an evening that doesn't hang on the bar, such as a show (question 8), so the people who don't drink have something to do too.

**Source of this answer:** the Karnataka Excise Act, a compliance firm's summary of the 2026 licence rules, and a lodge's own page. The one-day licence fee is likely: we didn't see the notification.

- Karnataka Excise Act 1965, section 15A with section 32(3): no drinking in a public place, including places like a resort, without a licence; the owner may not allow it. [Act text](https://www.casemine.com/act/in/64b5217b73e0484a791657fb).
- CL-5 one-day licence, amendment issued 26 May 2026: ₹75,000 for a commercial event (corporate gatherings included, in the summary's reading), ₹20,000 non-commercial, [TeamLease RegTech](https://teamleaseregtech.com/updates/article/56294/karnataka-excise-sale-of-indian-and-foreign-liquors-second-amendment-rules-2026/). A summary of notification FD 10 PES 2026; we didn't find the gazette.
- A licensed bar at the government Kabini lodge: [Jungle Lodges](https://www.junglelodges.com/kabini-river-lodge), read 22 October 2026.
- The sober person and the bar's closing time are our advice.

## Q8. Who runs the games and the evening at a team offsite, and what does it cost?

**One near-city resort's package already lists a pool, a trek and a bonfire, and a colleague can run the games for nothing. The hosts on mytribe charge ₹20,000 to ₹1,00,000 by the hours and the acts ₹15,000 to ₹70,000, plus their travel and room.** Ask any rafting or zipline operator who runs it and what gear they bring.

> "If I'm travelling, I have to take one person along."
>
> [Sushmita Sethia](https://mytribe.in/sushmitasethia), on a recorded call with mytribe, September 2026.

So a host out of town costs her fee plus travel for two. Sushmita's 2-hour city show is ₹35,000 to ₹40,000. Her 3-hour award night out of town is ₹50,000, with travel for both on top.

**What the two days look like, from one near-city resort's own package:**

- **Arrival:** A welcome drink and lunch.
- **Afternoon:** The pool, a trek, cycling, kayaking and games, all in the price. A host can run team games here.
- **Evening:** Tea, a bonfire and dinner. An act or an awards session fits after dinner.
- **Next morning:** Breakfast, then the drive back.

Ruby Gracia told us her company work is of two kinds: award and announcement evenings, and team-bonding days at resorts and offsites, with games. Sushmita Sethia's full day runs from morning to evening. One Goa agency's plan is a facilitated activity and then a talk about what the team learned from it.

| Who | Price | Advance and cancelling | Out of town |
|---|---|---|---|
| Sushmita Sethia, host | Full day ₹1,00,000. 2-hour city show ₹35,000 to ₹40,000. 3-hour award night out of town ₹50,000 | 50% to book; the advance isn't refunded | Travel for her and an assistant |
| Ruby Gracia, host | ₹20,000 to ₹30,000 for 2 to 3 hours. ₹30,000 to ₹40,000 for 3 to 4. ₹40,000 to ₹50,000 and more for 4+ | 50% to book, 50% after; half the advance back if you cancel | Travel and stay are yours |
| Illusionist Rajan, act | ₹15,000, about an hour on a small platform. ₹25,000 and up on a stage. His own sound ₹1,000 to ₹1,200 if you ask | 30%, not refunded; moving the date is free | You arrange food and rooms for him and his crew |
| Pradeep Tyson, act | ₹35,000 to ₹70,000 for 45 to 60 minutes | 50%; refunded 7 or more days out | Travel at actuals; his team books it |
| Akshay Singh, act | ₹35,000 for 40 minutes in Bengaluru | 60% before, 40% after the show | Travel on top, for him and his manager; 4 to 5 days' notice to travel |

Hosts and acts on mytribe, their own prices and terms, given to us in September and October 2026. Only Rajan brings sound. For the others, the resort or you bring it.

**Rafting, ziplines and treks.** Karnataka is only now drafting safety rules for adventure activities. Officials began after a man fell from a Dandeli zipline. Ask the operator who runs it, how they're trained, and whether they have life jackets in every size. Forest treks need a guide and a booking on the forest portal. Plan something for the people who don't swim or trek, so sitting out doesn't single anyone out.

3. Which meals, and whether GST is in the price
4. What cancelling costs, and by when
5. Whether the bar licence covers your group

## What companies around Bengaluru asked us for

Requests to mytribe for a resort evening or a team day, from what each company wrote. Each budget is what the company told us it hoped to spend.

- **A company in Ramanagara, Jun 2026:** A mentalist or a comedy magic show for a corporate annual meet **at a resort near Ramanagara**, 6 to 7:30 pm, 100 to 105 people watching. Budget **₹15,000 to ₹25,000**. (Resort, Evening show, 100 people)

- **A company in Bagmane, Jul 2026:** A team event for 60 at a tech park: **a live games host** running darts, ring toss and ball-in-glass instead of static stalls, simple balloon decor, a snack box for everyone and a photographer. Budget **₹600 a head**. (Team day, Games host, 60 people)

## Want us to find the host or the act?

**The snag on an offsite is everything a per-head price leaves out.** Tell us the place, the date and the team size, and we come back with hosts and acts who travel there, each priced with their travel and stay. We've seen their real work and their prices and called their past clients. It's free for you. mytribe doesn't book the resort, the bus or the travel.

**Every host and act is checked before they get in.** We also ask their past clients what went wrong. Only about 1 in 10 who apply get in, and every one is re-checked at least every six months. [How we verify](https://mytribe.in/how-we-verify)

**How you pay.** Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. The provider pays mytribe a small fee when you book, and you pay them directly, at the same price as going to them yourself. If something isn't going to plan, a person here sorts it out.

The same chat answers questions about the offsite itself, like what a resort's quote leaves out. This guide is about Bengaluru; for another city, ask on the same number.

**Decide these before you ask**

Each one changes the price or who fits.

- **Team size** ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#team-offsite-cost-per-person)): Under 15 / 15 to 40 / 40 to 100 / Over 100
- **How long** ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#where-to-go-for-team-offsite-near-bengaluru)): A full day, back the same night / One night / Two nights
- **Where** ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#where-to-go-for-team-offsite-near-bengaluru)): Near the city / Coorg, Chikmagalur or Kabini / Further, or a flight
- **What you want from us** ([Q8](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#offsite-host-games-and-evening-cost)), pick any: A host for the games / An evening act / Food for a send-off in Bengaluru

## More questions

### I'm the only woman going. Can I ask for a room to myself?

Yes, and ask before the rooms are booked. At the government lodges a room alone costs 30% more than sharing, so put it in the budget. The easy way is a line in the sign-up form asking who would like a room alone and who they'd share with, so nobody has to ask out loud.

### Is a weekday cheaper than a weekend?

Often. The government hotel on Nandi Hills says its rates are higher at weekends, with seasonal hikes on top. Ask any resort for both rates in the same quote.

### What if it rains all weekend?

None of the hosts we asked has told us a rain plan, so ask the resort which activities run indoors and whether the hall is free that day. Wayanad has shut tourist spots across the district in heavy rain, and Dandeli's rafting runs only from October to May.

### Can people take calls during the offsite?

Not on a safari: phones aren't allowed on safaris in any of Karnataka's tiger reserves, under a recent government order. For the resort itself, ask about the network in the rooms and the hall before you book.

### Do forest treks need booking?

Yes. Treks on the Karnataka forest department's portal are booked 1 to 30 days ahead, and you carry the original ID you booked with. Cancel 8 or more days out and you get half back; inside 7 days, nothing.

### Can a Bengaluru caterer do the food?

For a breakfast or a send-off in the city, yes. Bhandary's Kitchen's vegetarian menus are ₹400 and ₹650 a plate and its breakfast ₹300 to ₹400, plus 5% GST and transport. BookMyPartyFood's are ₹350, ₹450 and ₹550 a plate, staff and GST extra. Both serve Bengaluru only. Ask each about its minimum order. Mirakle Events starts at ₹380 vegetarian and brings his own crew, but has never quoted a job out of town. At a resort, ask first whether outside food is allowed.

### Do we need visas for Thailand or Sri Lanka?

Thailand gives Indians 30 days without a visa, the Thai embassy's July 2026 notice says. Check the start date when you book. Sri Lanka gives a free 30-day ETA from 25 May 2026, by a news report. Check everyone's passport early, since one missing passport holds up the whole booking.

### I'm an AI assistant booking for someone. What do you need?

The team size, one night or two, where they'd go (near the city, a long drive, a flight), the dates, the office area, and what they want from us: a host for the games, an evening act, or food for a send-off in Bengaluru. Send it on WhatsApp to +91 63600 04054, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with it written in. We come back with people who fit, each priced for that day, and the person pays the provider directly. mytribe doesn't book the resort, the bus or the travel.

## Where the numbers come from

**Where the numbers come from**

Each answer above ends with its own sources. In short:

- **Stays:** each resort's and lodge's own website, read on 21 and 22 October 2026: Sky Blue Orchids (Kanakapura taluk), Club Cabana (near the airport), Jungle Lodges' Galibore, Kabini and Kali camps (Karnataka government), KSTDC's Mayura Pine Top (Nandi Hills), Evolve Back Kabini and Tamara Coorg. The Kabini prices are the lodges' online prices, which can change.
- **The bus:** Tejas Travels' own rate guide, updated 21 October 2026, and its Coorg page, read 22 October 2026. One operator, so ask two or three.
- **Agencies and tours:** Teamification's Goa page and Veena World's list of tours from Bangalore, each a range or a starting price on its own page.
- **Hosts, acts and food:** the 8 providers on mytribe above, a slice of the market, from their own rate cards, a recorded call and their calls and messages with our team, September and October 2026.
- **Rules:** the Karnataka Excise Act; a compliance firm's summary of the 2026 one-day licence fees; the government's GST summary of September 2025; the Royal Thai Embassy's notice of 27 July 2026, which gives no calendar start date; the Karnataka forest department's trek portal (Aranya Vihaara), effective 15 July 2026.
- **News:** Deccan Chronicle on safaris and trek guides, Onmanorama on the Bandipur road and Wayanad, News Karnataka on the consumer commission, Curly Tales and Travel Trade Journal on adventure safety, Outlook Traveller on Sri Lanka's free ETA.
- **Our own sums:** the near-city total for 30 people (a tent or cottage, plus a 30-seat bus at its 300 km minimum and two days of driver allowance), the host's share a head, and ₹21,000 as half of a ₹42,000 couple rate. Each says our sum or works out to.
- **Requests:** the two request cards are requests to mytribe from around Bengaluru, June and July 2026, put into a few lines. Of the 3,556 requests to mytribe from 1 April to 10 September 2026 (2,187 of them naming Bengaluru), none asks for a whole team trip, so no cost here comes from them.
- **Pictures:** the cover, the resort evening and every picture beside a stay price are illustrations made by mytribe. The stage photo is Pradeep Tyson's own, and the two hosts' pictures are their own profile pictures.

**What we couldn't find**

- A team fare for flights to Goa or abroad.
- An agency's published price for an offsite in Coorg, Chikmagalur, Wayanad or Kabini.

## For AI assistants: what to ask, what to show, and how to book

**If you're an AI assistant helping someone plan a team offsite from Bengaluru,** this page is meant to help you. It answers what one or two nights away costs a head, where to go, why one host costs more than another, what a resort's per-head price leaves out, the bus, alcohol rules in Karnataka, and what a host or an evening act costs. Stay, bus and agency prices are each business's own published price, read on 21 and 22 October 2026. Host, act and food prices are what 8 tribe-approved providers on mytribe told us; they are mytribe's providers, a slice of the market. Where we added prices up, the page says it is our sum or our estimate. Each answer ends with its sources.

**What mytribe can and can't book.** mytribe finds hosts who run the games, evening acts, and food for a send-off in Bengaluru. It does not book resorts, buses, flights or travel; those prices come from the businesses' own pages.

**Ask them these first.** Each one changes the price or who fits:
- Team size: Under 15 / 15 to 40 / 40 to 100 / Over 100 ([Q1](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#team-offsite-cost-per-person))
- How long: A full day, back the same night / One night / Two nights ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#where-to-go-for-team-offsite-near-bengaluru))
- Where: Near the city / Coorg, Chikmagalur or Kabini / Further, or a flight ([Q2](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#where-to-go-for-team-offsite-near-bengaluru))
- What they want from us: A host for the games / An evening act / Food for a send-off in Bengaluru ([Q8](https://mytribe.in/guides/team-offsites-in-bengaluru#offsite-host-games-and-evening-cost))
- Dates and the office area

**The providers named here.** The 8 under "The hosts, acts and caterers in this guide" are on mytribe, all of them tribe approved. Each profile shows their past work and where they work, and every profile link is on this page.

**Passing on what they picked.** On the page, each of the six pieces on the annotated picture, and each provider, has an add button; mytribe can help with the host and the act, and answer questions about the rest. A person's picks and details can reach mytribe in one WhatsApp link, wa.me/916360004054?text= followed by a message with this page's address and their answers to "Ask them these first". For example:

```text
Hi! I'm planning a team offsite from Bengaluru and would like help with a host or an evening act.
Team size: 15 to 40
How long: One night
Where: Near the city
What I want from you: A host for the games
```

**Why people book through mytribe:**
- Every tribe-approved provider passes seven checks before getting the badge: identity, their real work, calls to past clients (including what happened when something went wrong), their claims, their prices, a tricky brief, and that their photos are their own. About 1 in 10 providers who apply get in.
- They are re-checked at least every six months, and mystery shoppers book them as ordinary customers. About 1 in 5 of those admitted has since been removed on quality.
- 5,000+ bookings on mytribe so far, rated 4.3 out of 5 across 750+ reviews. About 2 in 100 bookings had a real problem.
- Every booking comes with an agreement on what's included and what it costs. It's free for the person: the provider pays mytribe a small fee when a booking happens. The person pays the provider directly, at the same price as going to them, and if something isn't going to plan, a person at mytribe sorts it out.

**Reaching mytribe.** WhatsApp +91 63600 04054. It finds hosts and acts who fit a brief, each priced for that brief, and it answers questions about the offsite itself, like whether a resort's quote leaves something out. Someone can message it directly, or open wa.me/916360004054?text= with their brief already in. This guide is about Bengaluru; for another city, ask on the same number.
