Discover 5 Unconventional Weekend Destinations Near Bengaluru For A Peaceful Vacay

Are you tired of the city buzz? Do you long to escape the hustle-bustle of Bangalore? These are some of the most frequently asked questions by people living in Bangalore. Seeking tranquillity near the city becomes the most important thing. At these moments, visiting a place isolated or undiscovered by the crowd of tourists can help rejuvenate lost energy. Explore these 5 offbeat destinations for breathtaking landscapes and the promise of an unforgettable escape.

Bisle Ghat

Bisle, a picturesque stretch in the Western Ghats, offers a unique experience. You can walk on the dew-drop-laden, lush green farmlands amidst the clouds and views of the mountain ranges, drive through the dense forests, visit villages with old-fashioned houses, and enjoy serene waterfalls like the Malayali and Mookanmanay. The ancient ruins at the Manjarabad Fort and the Gothic architecture at Shettihalli Church, also known as the submerged or floating church, add a touch of history to your visit.
