Offbeat Weekend Getaways Across Namma Karnataka
Tired of city traffic? Let us take you from Bangalore to explore the hidden waterfalls, misty peaks, and ancient temples of our beautiful state.
The entrance to the powerful Sigandur Chowdeshwari Temple. We visit this sacred place as part of our Kodachadri trek weekend.
Our group enjoying the monsoon rains at the top of Kodachadri peak. Trekking in the rain is a special experience in the Western Ghats.
Exploring the historic Nagara Fort, with its green lawns and ancient walls. This is one of the many sights included in our Kodachadri trip.
The iconic Virupaksha Temple in Hampi, beautifully lit up against the night sky. Hampi is a UNESCO World Heritage site that we explore over a weekend.
The beautiful and ancient Amrutheshwara Temple, which we visit on our Chikmagalur leisure trip. It's a fine example of Hoysala architecture.
The Kallathigiri Falls cascading over a temple structure in Chikmagalur. Our trips cover famous spots like Jhari falls, Mullayanagiri, and Baba Budan Giri.
The historic Karkala Basadi, one of the many cultural sites we visit on our Udupi and Agumbe backpacking trip.
The unique Sahasralinga, where a thousand lingas are carved on rocks in the Shalmala river. This is a key highlight of our Yallapura exploration trip.
About Jewels of Namma Karnataka
Every trip is planned from start to finish, so you do not need to worry about booking transport, finding homestays, or managing forest permits. We provide shared transport from Bangalore, local guides who know the terrain, and all meals, allowing you to focus entirely on the trek or the heritage site you are visiting.
Our 'Jewels of Namma Karnataka' trips are about discovering the places that don't make it to standard tourist brochures. Whether you are looking for the rugged terrain of Kodachadri, the historic stone temples of Hampi, or the coffee plantations of Chikmagalur, we handle the logistics so you can actually relax.
We prioritize offbeat routes. For instance, our Kodachadri trek isn't just a climb, it includes a visit to the Sigandur Chowdeshwari Temple and the Nagara Fort. When we head to the coast, we skip the crowded resorts and focus on heritage spots like the Karkala Basadi or the quiet beaches of Udupi.
Most of our weekend trips start Friday night and return Sunday evening, making them ideal for working professionals in Bangalore who want to leave the city chaos behind. We organize everything including the homestays, forest permissions, and entry fees. You will find that our groups are a mix of solo travellers, friends, and families, all looking for a genuine connection with nature rather than a commercialized tourist experience.
