Top 10 places near Bangalore for solo travellers.

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.

solo travel near bangalore

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

solo travel near bangalore

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.

solo travel near bangalore

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.

The trek begins at the temple called Pagani and as you pass the dry trails, you begin to see the change in the contrast in the vegetation around. The peak is a walk among the clouds. However, with a fee of Rs. 450 the government ensures the maintenance of the place to give you a little free trekking experience. Since Skandagiri is in a close proximity to Nandi Hills, it is recommended to start the trek in the night so you can visit the Nandi Hills on the way back at dawn.

We had a very interesting tour with an excellent driver (Mr Anthony) who made us comfortable and very knowledgeable guides everywhere we visited. 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. Overall all it was a very good introduction to a country we had not visited before. The arrangements for meeting the drivers and guides worked well for us despite us arriving and departing before/after the 11 day tour so thanks to Linda and other support staff this worked well.

The tour is highly recommended historically and culturally, especially places like Hampi and Badami. Goa is overly touristy for a person with a professional background in tourism, yet old Goa is a very nice place to visit. Our hotel was near Baga beach and it was a nice place to relax and have some ayurvedic spa time! MTA organized the tour very well. We had a comfortable car, an excellent and professional driver Parveen throughout the tour. Most of the tour guides were very good. Most of the hotels and food were good I recommend you to discuss and choose the hotels carefully in advance. Ask for all options so you can choose accordingly. The MTA representative Manish is very helpful and will find you the best option that suits your preferences and budget. We definitely had a very good and enjoyable time in Kernataka and Goa! And after our experience we can highly recommend MTA.

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.

What GAFFL Users Are Saying

Marie

"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"

Saed

“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!”

Scarlett

"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​"

It is plush with a vibrant and varied collection of ancient royal artefacts, paraphernalia, hunting trophies and family photos.The Palace houses some of the most famous paintings of the 19th Century, including the works of one of India's most celebrated artists Raja Ravi Verma. The Palace grounds very often become venues for concerts and festivals. World-renowned artists like Enrique and Guns N' Roses have graced the palace grounds with their talent and presence. The Palace hence combines the richness and luxury of royal history with the vivacious and exuberant demeanour of the youth. 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.

Embracing the Freedom and Thrills of Solo Travel

Solo travel in this southern state of India is not just a physical journey but an exploration of one’s own self amidst the diverse tapestry of its historical, cultural, and natural beauty. Karnataka, a land of myriad landscapes and rich cultural heritage, offers an ideal backdrop for solo travelers seeking a journey of self-discovery. From the bustling streets of Bengaluru to the tranquil coffee estates of Coorg, Karnataka presents a kaleidoscope of experiences. 

Envision wandering through the ruins of Hampi, reflecting in the serene ambiance of ancient temples, or trekking in the Western Ghats, each step a discovery of both Karnataka’s treasures and your inner self. The state’s varied geography, ranging from the pristine beaches of Gokarna to the majestic Jog Falls, offers solo travelers a chance to embrace new adventures and create their personal narratives.

The unique aspect of solo travel in Karnataka lies in its blend of tradition and modernity. While the urban centers buzz with contemporary life, the rural landscapes offer a glimpse into the timeless traditions and slower pace of life. This juxtaposition allows solo travelers to experience a spectrum of lifestyles, enhancing their journey with multifaceted experiences.

This article will take you on a captivating journey through Karnataka, exploring its history, art and culture, diverse landscapes, culinary specialties, adventure activities, and notable tourist spots, all through the lens of a solo traveler.

History: Tracing the Timeless Legacy of Karnataka through Solo Travel

The history of Karnataka is a tapestry woven with the threads of ancient dynasties, architectural marvels, and rich cultural traditions, making it an intriguing destination for solo travelers. As you traverse this land alone, you encounter stories etched in stone and folklore that breathe life into the past.

Karnataka’s history is marked by the reigns of powerful empires like the Chalukyas, Hoysalas, and the Vijayanagara. Solo travel enables a deep, unhurried exploration of historical sites like the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Hampi, the ruins of which tell the tale of a prosperous medieval empire. Walking through these ruins, solo travelers can almost hear the echoes of the past.

The state’s historical journey continues in places like Mysuru, known for its royal heritage and grandiose Mysore Palace. The palace, a blend of Hindu, Islamic, Gothic, and Rajput styles, is not just an architectural wonder but also a symbol of Karnataka’s diverse cultural influences.

The coastal town of Gokarna, with its ancient temples, offers a spiritual retreat for solo travelers seeking peace. Here, history intertwines with spirituality, providing a space for introspection and understanding of Karnataka’s religious heritage.

Exploring Karnataka’s history as a solo traveler is like embarking on a time travel adventure. Each destination has a unique story, from the stone-carved temples of Belur and Halebidu to the fort of Chitradurga, offering insights into the state’s glorious past and the civilizations that flourished here.

Art & Culture: Immersing in the Rich Cultural Mosaic of Karnataka as a Solo Traveler

Karnataka’s art and culture are as varied as its landscapes, offering solo travelers a rich palette of experiences. From classical music and dance to colorful festivals and unique handicrafts, the state is a treasure trove of cultural delights.

As a solo traveler, you have the unique opportunity to immerse yourself in Karnataka’s traditional art forms. The classical music of Karnataka, known as Carnatic music, is a melodious journey in itself. Attending a music concert in Mysuru or Bengaluru can be a soul-stirring experience, allowing you to feel the depth of this centuries-old art form.

Dance is another expression of Karnataka’s rich culture. Forms like Yakshagana, a traditional theater form, and Bharatanatyam, a classical dance, tell stories through intricate movements and expressive gestures. Witnessing these performances solo can be a mesmerizing experience, connecting you with the state’s artistic soul.

The cultural journey in Karnataka also leads you to unique crafts and age-old traditions. Towns like Channapatna, known for their wooden toys, and Bidar, famous for Bidri metalwork, offer insights into the skill and creativity of local artisans. Exploring these crafts solo allows for a deeper appreciation of the artisans’ dedication to preserving their heritage.

Festivals in Karnataka are a spectacle of colors and traditions. Experiencing festivals like Dussehra in Mysuru or the Hampi Utsav on your own lets you absorb the energy and spirit of these celebrations at your own pace, making for an unforgettable cultural experience.

Solo travel in Karnataka is not just about seeing; it’s about experiencing and being a part of the state’s living culture. It’s an opportunity to connect with the local community, understand their way of life, and take back a piece of Karnataka’s cultural mosaic in your heart.

Landscape & Biodiversity: Exploring Karnataka's Natural Wonders as a Solo Traveler

Karnataka’s diverse landscapes, ranging from the Western Ghats’ lush forests to the serene beaches of its coastline, offer solo travelers a unique opportunity to connect with nature in its most pristine form. This journey is not just about the scenic beauty but also about understanding the rich biodiversity that Karnataka nurtures.

As you venture into the Western Ghats, recognized as one of the world’s eight ‘hottest hotspots’ of biological diversity, the experience is nothing short of magical. The dense forests of Kodagu (Coorg) and the wildlife sanctuaries like Bandipur and Nagarhole provide a sanctuary for a wide array of fauna and flora. Solo travel here means waking up to the calls of exotic birds, spotting wildlife in their natural habitat, and trekking through verdant trails, offering a deeply personal and uninterrupted communion with nature.

The coastline of Karnataka presents a different aspect of the state’s natural beauty. Beaches like Gokarna, Murudeshwar, and Karwar are not just spots for relaxation but also offer a glimpse into the marine ecosystems and the laid-back coastal lifestyle. Solo beach walks at sunrise or sunset can be moments of profound tranquility and reflection.

Karnataka is also home to magnificent waterfalls, including the famous Jog Falls, where the Sharavathi River leaps into a deep gorge creating one of the highest waterfalls in India. Experiencing this natural wonder solo allows for a moment of awe and appreciation for the power and beauty of nature.

Solo travel in Karnataka is an exploration of the delicate balance between humans and nature. It’s a journey that teaches respect for the environment and the need for its conservation. The state’s varied landscapes and rich biodiversity not only provide spectacular views but also remind us of our responsibility towards preserving these natural treasures.

Each region in Karnataka has its own unique taste and style of cooking, making every meal an adventure.

For the solo traveler, Karnataka’s street food also offers a delightful experience. From the bustling food streets of Bengaluru to the small stalls dotting the highways, there’s a range of snacks like Vada Pav, Bhaji, and Akki Roti that provide a quick and tasty insight into the local palate.
