Ditch the Bangalore traffic and the Monday-to-Friday routine. We take you to the best of the Western Ghats—from the coffee trails of Chikmagalur to the misty hills of Munnar—with zero planning stress.

Wondering why you should visit Munnar in May and June? This carousel explains it all, from the pleasant weather to the lush tea gardens and blooming flora.

The tea estates in Munnar look incredibly fresh and vibrant after the first summer showers. We enjoy scenic walks and even some tea tasting sessions.

What makes my heart smile? The misty mountains of Ooty. This video captures the feeling of walking through the clouds in this beautiful hill station.

Here's why you shouldn't miss a trip to Chikmagalur. It's the perfect blend of adventure and relaxation, with coffee plantations, treks, and great company.

While most of India is hot in May, Munnar stays cool and pleasant, making it the perfect escape from the summer heat.

About South Indian Escapes

The biggest headache of a weekend trip is the planning, so we take that off your plate. When you join us for a South Indian escape, we handle the tempo traveler, the homestay, and the permits. You just show up at the meeting point in Bangalore, meet your trip captain, and spend the next two days focused on nothing but the trail, the bonfire, and the group vibe.
