One-Day Low-Key Getaway from Bangalore

Viewed by 76 travelers

Day 1: Hills, River, and Sunset

Morning: Depart Bangalore early and drive to Devarayanadurga, a quiet hill sanctuary famed for its ancient temples and panoramic views. After a gentle trek to the hilltop, explore the serene Yoga Narasimha Swamy Temple and enjoy the fresh mist that blankets the surrounding forest.

Afternoon: Head south to Bheemeshwari on the banks of the Kaveri River, where you can relax by the water, try a short coracle ride, and sample local trout at the riverside cafe. The area offers easy nature walks along the riverbank, perfect for bird‑watching and spotting small wildlife.

Evening: Conclude the day with a short drive to Chunchi Falls, a lesser‑known cascade near Kolar that glows golden in the setting sun. Take a leisurely walk to the viewing platform, capture the sunset over the falls, and enjoy a simple picnic before heading back to Bangalore.
