Living In Bengaluru? These Family Friendly Getaways Are For You!
If you’re looking for a breather from the hustle of city life, an opportunity to reset over the weekend, then do check out these family-friendly getaways from Bangalore!
Located on the banks of the river Kaveri, the Galibore Nature Camp is a two hour journey from Bangalore, and a lovely weekend getaway. Embrace the great outdoors at this property that’s set amidst dense forests. The kids will enjoy the peaceful atmosphere, as well as the countless outdoor activities – like coracle rides, nature treks, bird watching, among others. This can also be an educational and informative trip for them because there are staff and naturalists to provide insights to the wildlife, flora and fauna in the area.
2. Gandikota, Andhra Pradesh
Known as the Grand Canyon of India, this spectacular sight should definitely be on the list of getaways from Bangalore. Ideal to visit in non-summer months, this beautiful gorge is going to give you the most stunning, Instagramable sights! If you’re feeling more adventurous, you can opt to camp out there. The kids will enjoy the camping activities and the openness of sleeping under the stars!
3. Bylakuppe
If you’re planning a trip to Coorg or Mysore, then definitely make a stopover at Bylakuppe. This is one of the largest Tibetan settlements in India, second only to Dharamshala. Set up in the 1950s, this settlement has monasteries that you can visit. Get a sense of peace and calm as you walk around the Buddhist temples, and don’t miss out on the Tibetan food while you’re there!
4. Coonoor, Tamil Nadu
Very close to the more popular destination Ooty, Coonoor is a charming little town nestled in the Nilgiris. The kids will love the Ooty-Coonoor train ride, and the general vibe of this peaceful hill station. Whether you’re Bollywood fans or not, do stop by for a cup of tea at the McIver Bungalow (of Kapoor And Sons fame!) for the stunning views and sprawling lawns!
5. Rare Earth Farmstay
Have an excellent eco-friedly experience at the Rare Earth Farmstay in Kanakpura! It’s a pleasant surprise to find yourself in such a different atmosphere just a short drive from the city. This fully organic farm offers sustainably-built accommodation and organic food made from the produce that they grow there. Kids can run around free, enjoy the freshwater swimming pool, read a book from the vast collection they have there, or play with the animals in the farm. Apart from these fun outdoor activities that will keep the kids entertained, you can also enjoy a bonfire at night. The weather here is cooler than the city because of the green cover and lack of pollution, so remarkably so that the area was apparently called “Little England” by the British!
