HILLS & TREKKING
Nandi Hills
Take a break this weekend, and kiss the clouds with your roomies. No, this is no figurative statement. You can literally walk in the clouds at Nandi Hills! Even for someone who’s not a morning person, leaving at the wee hours of dawn to marvel at the sunrise at Nandi hills, is worth it! If you can, going on a bike trip with your gang can be a thrilling experience (provided you take necessary precautions). You can enjoy paragliding, trekking and cycling, too. It is, hence, one of the best and closest relaxing weekend getaways near Bangalore to go with your roommates.
Anthargange
The rocks can give you a hard time on some occasions, but the caves make up for the whole experience. For the perfect trek recipe, offering a helping hand and making fun of your roomie, should both be mixed in equal quantities. A night trek with an overnight stay at the hills, with the golden light of sunrise from the top, and breakfast on your way back, is a brilliant idea for a relaxing weekend getaway with your roommates.
The Skandagiri hills is another trekking destination for a weekend getaway, with fort ruins dating back to the 18th century and the rejuvenating arms of nature’s beauty.
