About Weekend Treks
What We Offer
I run weekend treks for people who want a quick escape from city life. Starting in Bangalore, we get you out into nature for two packed days, and bring you back Sunday night - so you’re good to go for Monday. I handle all the messy details - transport, stay, food, permits, and trek guides.
How It Works
- Leave Friday night from HSR Layout or other main pickup spots
- Trek, explore, and chill Saturday and Sunday
- Back in Bangalore by Sunday night
Trails We Love
Most of our trips are in the Western Ghats. I mix it up:
- Nethravathi Peak (lush hills, waterfalls)
- Kumaraparvatha (tough climb, epic views)
- Gokarna Beach Trek (hiking by the coast)
- Kudremukha, Tadiandamol, and sometimes sunrise treks in Munnar
You’ll see everything from misty mountains to sandy beaches - depends on your mood and stamina.
Who Joins?
Honestly, it’s a mixed bag. Some folks are first-timers, others are regulars. You just need to be up for some adventure, and ready for a bit of mud and unpredictability. I’ll always tell you if a trek is tough or chill, so you don’t end up on something you’re not ready for.
What You Get
- All travel included, usually in a Tempo Traveller or bus
- Stays range from homestays to tents
- Food sorted so you’re not hangry
- Permits and entry fees are taken care of
- Trek leads (male and female) with lots of experience
If you want to try group adventure getaways or beginner friendly treks near Bangalore, you’ll fit right in. I keep it real - you’ll get sweaty, tired, and probably muddy, but you’ll go home with stories.
