Top 10 places near Bangalore for solo travellers.

A person sitting alone in a cafe or at a corner chair by the bar often gives you the impression of a loner, an embodiment of sadness, and possibly an exemplar of weakness without knowing the story or reasons behind their preferred solitude. We are quick to judge the ones we see on a solo trip , creating some of their most memorable experiences and having the best times of their lives. Finding comfort in their own company and not getting affected by the surrounding environment to please others.

What I have learned from my experience with loners is that there are two kinds of loners.

People who completely isolate themselves from the eyes of the world and the noise of the crowd to find security with themselves, not because their lives suddenly turned upside down and taught them a lesson or because they are any less amiable to make new friends. But, because over a period of time, they realised that they don’t need affiliation from a larger group of people. The need for validation is only limited to a close circle of friends. They show up at their own time, choose their social circle mindfully, you might even see them on a Friday night gulping down beers all by themselves. They are the people who are more comfortable with being alone all the time and don’t engage in small talks.

The other type of loners are people who are led to be alone under various circumstances as a result of their actions. They crave people’s attention but in a wrong way and end up being even lonelier than they thought they were. They miss people, interactions, time they spent with someone in their past, which, sometimes is not healthy as not letting go of your past makes you vulnerable, causing you to have innumerable self-doubts and the possibility of making friends in the future. Many times, we find ourselves in a situation where we stop embracing our reality and cause serious disturbance in other’s lives trying to expect them to live on our terms.

That is one of the primary reasons the world is seeing a rapid shift in the way people are travelling now, besides the fact that it is hassle-free. They don’t wait for others to confirm and tag along on their dates, stress over where to stay and what to eat. We as a generation have learned a lesson (some the hard way) to not be a burden on anyone. No matter how close we are to them or how kind they are to us.

You can be completely free to choose the restaurant you wish to eat from or people you wish to interact with and don’t feel bad about wasting your entire day in the bedroom doing nothing but gazing the mountain out the window or sitting in the chair all curled up in the blanket with a hot coffee, not knowing or thinking about what friends in the other room might feel. Also, it is so much less drama. When you are all by yourself, you don’t have to worry about entertaining others demands.

Take your solo trip experience a notch up with the curated list of the places around Bangalore you will enjoy going to.

All the brilliant minds that ever existed in this world thrived alone and wished they had more time with themselves when they had a chance. Shivagange offers exactly the same view of the sky from 2500 feet above the ground which also makes it a perfect perfect location for trekking. Trekking to the peak might be a bit tiresome due to its challenging terrains but all that effort will not go on vain.

Our favourite Hotel was in Mysore although all were good and the visit to Halebidu was probably my highlight as the temples were magnificent with such elaborate carvings. Goa was not as relaxing as I imagined. We enjoyed the beach but didn't want to lay in the sun too long so other than shopping we didn't find it as attractive as we had expected.

14 Best One Day Treks from Bangalore

Some of these treks require permission from My Eco Trip , and they cost INR 300 per person on weekdays and INR 500 per person on weekends. These costs are inclusive of tax.

Antargange Trek

At an altitude of 1712 metres, Antargange Hill is a famous religious site just around 70 kilometres from Bangalore city towards Hospete. Located in Kolar district, the Antargange Trek is divided into two parts:

Part 1: Base to the temple.
Part 2: Temple to the peak with cave exploration.

The trek from the base to the temple is straightforward as there are stairs, and the distance is hardly 1 kilometre. However, the cave exploration and trek to the peak are challenging and need a guide.

Part 1: Base to the Temple

Trek distance: Less than 1 kilometre return.
Grade: Very easy.
Permission required: No.

Part 2: Temple to the Peak with Cave Exploration

Trek distance: 4 kilometres return.
Grade: Moderate.

The hill is named after the village goddess Bananthi Maari Amma and is made of twin hills. At an altitude of 1000 metres, the Bananthi Maari Trek can be challenging as it is very easy to get lost. Also, the hill is known for wild animals such as sloth bears.

Total distance: 4 kilometres return.
Grade: Easy.

Bheema Bakasura Betta

Also known as Kailashgiri betta, Bheema Bakasura Betta is around 70 kilometres from Bangalore towards Hosakote. The trek to the top has very well-laid steps, and a temple is at the top.

Total distance: 5 kilometres return.

Bilikal Rangaswamy betta

Located near Kanakpura, Bilikal Rangaswamy Betta Trek is one of the most picturesque treks around Bangalore. The hill provides a feel of the Western Ghats with so much greenery and forest area. It is just around 75 kilometres from Bangalore.

Permission required: Yes, from the forest officials.

Channarayana Durga Fort

Located in the Tumkur district, the Channarayana Durga Fort is 100 kilometres from Bangalore. At an altitude of 1188 metres, the fort was constructed in the 17th century by a local king, Chikakappa Gowda.

Gudibande Fort trek

The trek to Gudibande Fort is the most leisurely trek of all the treks mentioned in this list. It is a relaxed trek with cemented stairs to reach the peak. Gudibande Fort is a 17th-century fort built by a yogi and local chieftain, Byre Gowda.

Hulukadi Betta

Hulukaddi Betta is another lesser-known hill around Bangalore, surrounded by lakes and villages. The fort at the peak was built in the 16th century by the Chola kings. The hill is around 70 kilometres from Bangalore towards Doddaballapura.

Total distance: 8 kilometres return.

Kaurava Kunda betta

A great alternative to Skandagiri is Kaurava Kunda Betta . It is not very popular but still provides the same views as the Skandagiri betta during sunrise. Kaurava Kunda are twin hills around 75 kilometres from Bangalore in Chikkaballapura district.

Mandaragiri Betta

Also known as Basada betta, Mandaragiri Betta is in a village called Pandithanahalli in Tumkur district. It is around 65 kilometres from Bangalore. The hill is specifically famous for the peacock temple at the base.

Total distance: 1 to 2 kilometres return.

Rayakottai Fort

In the Krishnagiri district of Tamil Nadu, Rayakottai Fort is about 70 kilometres from Bangalore towards Hosur. Not much is known about the fort, and it is a lesser-known fort probably built in the 18th century. The views from the peak are very beautiful.

Savandurga Trek

At 1226 metres, Savandurga Hill is Asia’s largest monolithic hill. Located in the Savandurga state forest towards Mysore Road, the Savandurga hill is formed by two rocks called Karigudda and Biligudda. Savandurga Trek is one of the most beautiful treks around Bangalore and has stunning views of Manchanabele and Thippagondanahalli reservoirs.

Trek distance: 6 kilometres return.
Grade: Moderate as certain sections are very steep.

Shivgange betta

Famously known as Dakshina Kashi, Shivgange Betta is a religious destination. Located near Tumkur, Shivgange Betta is around 50 kilometres from Bangalore. The hill is shaped like a Shivalinga and is at an altitude of 805 metres.

Grade: Easy to Moderate.

Skandagiri betta

At an altitude of 1350 metres, the Skandagiri Trek is the most popular trek around Bangalore. It is specifically known for a night trek because of the stunning views the peak provides during sunrise. Also known as Kalavara Durga betta, Skandagiri betta is around 60 kilometres from Bangalore in Chikkaballapura district.

Grade: Hard.

Uttari betta

At an altitude of 1130 metres, Uttari Betta Trek is another famous trek around Bangalore. Also known as Hutridurga, Uttari Betta has a fort built by the founder of Bangalore, Kempegowda, in the 16th century.

Are these One Day Treks from Bangalore Safe for Solo Female Trekkers?

Generally, it is always best to go with a buddy on treks. So I highly recommend visiting these hills with another person or any trekking agency. Some of these hills get very isolated and hence can be dangerous.

Download the Emergency Plus app for any unforeseen situations. The app does not require a mobile network; it shows your location. This is useful to inform the emergency services in case of any emergency. If you are a tourist, always have good comprehensive travel insurance to cover yourself in case of any emergency.

Closing Notes

I love trekking around Bangalore, especially on the hills with forts at their peaks. It is exciting to learn and walk back in time. How many of these treks have you done? Do you have any other suggestions? Let me know by writing to me at [email protected] .

"It’s really nice to have a platform like GAFFL with lots of travelers wanting to do the same as you, a real beautiful cultural exchange. You can meet people so easily and in a trustful way. We were four girls, from French, German and American backgrounds, without knowing each other from before. We spent an amazing week together, 2000km driving, camping on the way. We saw kangaroos, koalas, penguins and pelicans"

“I have found GAFFL to be an amazing tool for finding similar minded travel partners to embark on an adventure. Through GAFFL, I had organized a trip to Mexico City last month and Quazi joined the trip from Victoria, BC. We spent 14 days of straight exploring, hiking, eating and drinking. Quite an amazing experience - all thanks to GAFFL!”

"I accidentally scrolled across GAFFL and I'm so pleased I did. I met Amaia and immediately decided to road-trip together. We're spending 10 days together and it's great because we have so much in common. Couldn't have done it without GAFFL helping us find one another! It has honestly made NZ so much cheaper to explore as I get to split the costs with someone too"

The river, which is more than 150 meters wide at the meeting point (at Sangama) flows through the barely 10-meter-wide gorge at Mekedatu.

Bangalore Palace HistoryOriginally a property of Reverend J Garrett, the principal of a school in the cantonment town at that time, the area where the Palace is now located was purchased from him by the British Guardians of Maharaja Chamarajendra Wadiyar for 40,000 rupees. The construction of the palace began in the year 1874. Mr John Cameron of Lalbagh was assigned the task of landscaping Palace along with its surroundings. The complete construction of the palace was completed in the year, 1878.The Palace saw many additions and modifications in its architecture in subsequent years. Maharaja Jayachamaraja Wadiyar added a few portions like the twin external staircase, the platform for musicians etc. outside the Durbar Hall. In 1970, HH Jayachamarajendra Wodeyar transferred ownership of the property to two companies, Chamundi Hotels and Shree Venkateshwara Real Estate Enterprises. However, this transaction was later shown to be fraudulent. A legal battle followed between this deal and Jayachamarajendra's son, Srikanta Datta. The five sisters of Srikanta Datta are now in possession of sections of the 28 acres of the Palace. In the year 1990 Srikant Datta finally compromised with the Chamaraju group and got back his part of the property including the main Palace except for 45 acres that the Chamaraju group still retains. Architecture:The Palace showcases exquisite wooden interiors surrounded by pristine walls. The Palace is enclosed within beautiful gardens. The architecture is a medley of Tudor style and Scottish style and has gothic undertones. A lot of physical artefacts inside are of British origin. It is said that the architecture of this building is inspired by that of the Windsor Castle and other architectural marvels of England and Normandy. The most prominent features of the Palace like the two-level granite structure of the fortified towers and turreted parapets take direct inspiration from the Tudor building styles. The entrance is decorated with grand Roman arches. The exterior of the building is covered in eccentric shapes and angles. The exterior walls are of a blushing cinnabar shade that gives the building a quaint Victorian vibe. The floor of the open courtyard of the Palace is adorned with granite seats covered with azure ceramic tiles. The ground floor also contains a beautifully decorated ballroom.The first floor of the Palace has a distinct chamber known as the Durbar Hall attached to an ornate staircase.This hall is famous for the enormous elephant head that is mounted in it and its gothic style tinted glass windows.
