What I love about Bengaluru is it’s proximity to some of the most beautiful places around South India. Whether you have a car or prefer to take the train, you’ll come across multiple options within a few hours of the city that make for great weekend getaways. From villages on the coast (with fresh seafood to die for!) to picturesque temple towns and cities with fascinating history, these getaways from Bengaluru offer something for just about everyone. I recently made my way to Wayanad for a 3 day weekend, and this post is a picture diary dedicated to my nature break. I’d recommend a trip to Wayanad if you’re in the mood to do nothing, and spend days in clean air surrounded by dense green foliage. Sterling Wayanad makes for a pretty kickass property to enjoy this break with. It’s also pet-friendly, kid-friendly and is located almost in the middle of nowhere, with nothing but forest all around. Do set aside a couple of hours to dine at Hotel Wilton in Sultan Bathery. It’s been a month since my visit and I still can’t stop drooling when I think of the parotta and beef coconut fry that I relished there on a rainy afternoon.
This post on Instagram will give you more details about what I ate.
Hope this inspires you to take some time off and get a break and be lazy, a break from reality into another world that is equally, if not more, gorgeous and gratifying.
