Top 10 Weekend Getaways from Bangalore

Bangalore’s biggest travel perk is how many stunning destinations sit within a few hours’ drive. Whether you crave hills, beaches, history or wildlife, there is a perfect weekend escape waiting.
Coorg (Kodagu) tops most lists for its coffee plantations and cool climate. Around 260 km away, it’s an easy overnight trip in a comfortable SUV or Tempo Traveller.
Prefer the coast? Gokarna and Murudeshwar offer quieter beaches than Goa. For history lovers, Hampi’s ruins are unforgettable. Book a vehicle with an experienced driver and simply enjoy the journey.
