By the Pookeez team · · 7 min read
Need a break from Bengaluru traffic? Some of South India’s most beautiful places are just a few hours away. Here are 10 weekend getaways from Bangalore for couples, from coffee estates and hill stations to beaches and ruins.
Travel times depend heavily on traffic and route, so plan ahead. Check stay bookings, entry rules and weather before you go, especially in the monsoon.
Hills and coffee country
1. Coorg
Misty hills, coffee estates and waterfalls make Coorg a favourite romantic getaway. Stay at a homestay on a plantation and try local Kodava food.
2. Chikmagalur
Coffee country with scenic drives, viewpoints and treks. Perfect if you like a mix of relaxing and exploring.
3. Sakleshpur
Quieter than Coorg and Chikmagalur, with green hills, plantations and cosy stays. Great for a peaceful weekend.
4. Ooty
The classic hill station: tea gardens, lakes, cool weather and the famous toy train.
5. Wayanad
Forests, waterfalls, caves and tree-house stays in Kerala. Ideal for nature-loving couples.
Heritage and culture
6. Mysuru
The closest option on this list. Visit Mysore Palace, wander the markets and eat your way through the city. An easy, low-planning weekend.
7. Hampi
Ancient ruins, giant boulders and stunning sunsets. Rent bicycles and explore the temples together. Best visited in the cooler months.
Beaches
8. Puducherry
French-style streets, cafés, beaches and a slower pace of life. Walk the promenade at sunrise.
9. Gokarna
Quieter beaches and beach treks. A longer trip, so it works best for a long weekend.
Wildlife
10. Kabini
Safaris, river views and wildlife lodges. A splurge-worthy weekend for couples who love nature.
Tips for your first trip together
- Start small. For your first trip, pick somewhere close, like Mysuru, before a long weekend away.
- Talk about budget early. Agree on how you’ll split costs before you book.
- Plan, but not too much. Leave room for naps and unplanned fun.
- Book couple-friendly stays. Check the property’s policies for unmarried couples and ID requirements before booking.
- Check in with each other. Travelling together shows you a lot about each other. Be patient.
