Weekend Trips from Bangalore

A weekend trip from Bangalore is the two-day window that turns a Saturday and Sunday into an actual holiday. Get away for the weekend and you can be walking through a coffee estate in Coorg or Chikmagalur, standing over the Nilgiris in Ooty or Coonoor, or watching backwaters go past from a houseboat near Alleppey — and still be back at your desk on Monday. This collection covers the two-day group departures we run out of Bangalore: the classic hill escapes (Coorg, Chikmagalur, Ooty, Ooty & Coonoor, Kodaikanal, Wayanad, Munnar with a jeep ride up to Kolukkumalai), the Kerala combinations (Kochi & Athirappilly through the monsoon, and Kochi & Alleppey for backwaters), and two further destinations with a different character altogether, Pondicherry and Rameswaram. Each one is built around one overnight stay, with a full first day at the destination and a second day that winds down before the drive back. Two days is enough to actually settle into a place rather than just photograph it, but it does mean the itinerary is fuller than a one-day trip — plan on an early start both mornings. Overnight stays, meals and sightseeing entries vary by trip and are listed in full on each trip's own page, along with the exact pickup points and reporting time for that departure. If this is your first weekend trip with us, start with the itinerary and inclusions on the specific trip page rather than assuming it matches another trip in this collection — hill station weekends and the Kerala or coastal ones are run differently, with different travel time built in. Solo travellers, couples and small groups all book these as shared departures, and every trip page tells you exactly what's covered before you pay.
