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 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.

Spin to the Beats of Nature

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.

1. Coorg – 268 kms from Bangalore

Coorg, the coffee beau of India is a frosty little town located in the western ghats of Southern Karnataka.

The town is also known for its tibetan monastery and also houses one of the largest buddhist populations in the country.

2. Shimoga – 301 kms from Bangalore

If you are looking for a reason to escape from the city life for a good period of time, then here’s a good reason for you to take the road less traveled and go on a trip all by yourself to this place and rediscover yourself. The literal translation of the name Shimoga is “Face of the Lord Shiva”. It is located in the central art of Karnataka and home to plenty of scenic landscapes and exotic wildlife.

Kundadri : 101 kms from Shimoga

A paradise 3,200 feet from the ground with a temple for a crown. Don’t miss this place for anybody.

3. Shivanasamudram – 131 kms from Bangalore

You may have seen quite a lot of torrents of water in your life but there are only a few waterfalls that are so meteoric in pace that you can barely hear people over its deafening force. This is one such waterfall that enables a varied range of emotions in your mind with its magnificent roar. The water you behold is released from the Kabini dam splitting into two parts. This place makes for a perfect one day trip, dervishing on River Kaveri, 130 kms from Bangalore. Unfortunately, swimming or diving is not allowed due to its gigantic current and deep couloir.

4. Mysore – 143.5 kms from Bangalore

Alot is being said and written over centuries about this place already. There are proses of praises about how the place was renamed from Mysore to Mysuru and how the city is gleaming with historic landmarks and blessed with Royal monuments all around. There is enough information available on the internet about the architectural grandeur of the Mysore Palace and its extrinsic design. It’s one of the top attractions to see in Mysore and totally worth every effort and money you spend to get there and stand in the queue.

There are several other places to visit in the third largest populated city in Karnataka:

Venugopala Swamy Temple – 1.1 kms from Mysore

A temple born out of the stones of Hoysala architecture and emerged out of water, stands near the KRS backwaters is a must visit place of worship in Mysore.

Devaraja Market – 3.5 kms from Mysore

If colours affect your mood, then this will definitely uplift it. Keep your camera ready to capture some amazing the colourful Bazaar.

St Philomena’s church – 4.9 kms from Mysore

Considered one of Asia’s tallest churches, it is one of the few gothic-styled architectural splendor in the country built by the Maharaja of Mysore in the late 18th century.

5. Shivagange – 53 kms away from Bangalore

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. All of that will make sense once you reach the end and see a temple only to realise why even Gods prefer mountains instead of flat terrains. It was to seek centuries of wisdom and tranquility.

6. Horsley Hills – 143 kms from Bangalore

A haven for solo travellers is what Horsley Hills is. It’s a series of nine hills found in the Mandanapalle taluk of Chittoor district in Andhra pradesh. Named during the British Raj, after a British collector who built his house here, was also known as Yenugu Mallama Konda. Mallama, a legendary woman who lived here and was fed by elephants (Yenugula). The place is good for trekking and only takes a few minutes on foot. Once you reach the top, you are greeted by the only restaurant it has which is run by the tourism department. Hence, your options are limited when it comes to food and accommodation, making it a great choice for a weekend getaway.

7. Skandagiri – 61 kms from Bangalore

A summit approximately 1350 metres from the village called Kalwara, is a maverick of a trek during the winter (November – February) and the monsoons are equally pleasant because the rains influence plant life, making it greener and richer in tone. A slow-paced trek will take you to the summit in around 06 hours after periodic rests and breaks at the tea stalls and snacks corner along the way. 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.

8. Hampi – 342 kms from Bangalore

No place better than the one that screams loud of the rich kingdom it once was better than Hampi. With every step you take, you sense the history of the place deep in your skin and how it was ruined by the Mughals in the 14th century. Also, the origin of the famous Hindi phrase ‘Hukka Bukka hogaya’ is from this land. It is named after two people, Hukka and Bukka. You can read the full story of the two commanders, Hukka and Bukka and the founders of Vijaynagar empire here :

The debilitating structures built in 1500 AD under Vijaynagar dynasty and its architectural style has been the main ISP of the place for tourists worldwide. You can climb the boulders that are wealthy in numbers or take a walking tour of the city in the evening to capture the riveting view under the moonlight.

9. Coonoor – 285 kms from Bangalore

They survive on bike rides and rise to each occasion that brings them closer to nature and themselves. They find nature more stimulating than people.

Just because they looked different than the others and had an eye-catching appeal to you, but you were too young to understand the craftsmanship of the toys and the history attached to it.

Enigmatic Magic: Bangalore to Goa Road Trip – Your Pathway to Paradise

• July 14, 2023

Planning Bangalore to Goa road trip by a car? Get ready for an exciting journey filled with breathtaking scenery, delicious food, and unforgettable experiences. Whether you’re an adventurous soul seeking new thrills or simply looking for a relaxing getaway , a road trip from Bangalore to Goa is the perfect way to escape the hustle and bustle of city life and immerse yourself in the beauty of nature. In this article, we will guide you through all the essential details to make your road trip a memorable one.

Planning for Bangalore to Goa Road Trip

Embarking on a solo road trip from Bangalore to Goa is an exciting adventure that promises breathtaking landscapes, thrilling experiences, and unforgettable memories. Whether you’re a beach lover, a nature enthusiast, or a foodie craving some authentic Goan cuisine, this journey has something for everyone. To make the most of your trip, it’s important to plan ahead and prepare for the road ahead.

Best Time to Travel

Before hitting the road, it’s important to choose the best time to travel from Bangalore to Goa. The pleasant weather makes the months of October to March the ideal time to visit Goa, although it is a year-round destination. During this time, you can enjoy the sandy beaches and various water sports activities to the fullest. The cool breeze, clear skies, and moderate temperatures create the perfect ambiance for exploring the vibrant culture and natural beauty of Goa.

However, if you prefer a quieter and less crowded experience, consider traveling during the shoulder seasons of April to May or September to November. During these months, you can still enjoy the charm of Goa without the peak tourist rush.

Avoid traveling during the monsoon season (June to September), as heavy rainfall can disrupt your journey and limit outdoor activities. While the monsoons bring lush greenery to Goa, the roads can become slippery and treacherous, posing challenges for navigation.

Essential Items to Pack

When embarking on a road trip, it’s crucial to pack wisely to ensure a comfortable and hassle-free experience. Don’t forget to bring sunglasses, sunscreen, hats, and comfortable clothing to protect yourself from the sun. Goa’s tropical climate can be unforgiving, especially during the peak summer months, so it’s essential to stay protected from the scorching heat.

Additionally, pack your favorite snacks and drinks to keep you energized throughout the journey. While there are plenty of roadside eateries and restaurants along the way, having some snacks handy will ensure you don’t go hungry during long stretches of road.

For the beach lovers, don’t forget to pack beach towels, swimwear, and beach toys. Goa is famous for its pristine beaches, and you wouldn’t want to miss out on the opportunity to soak up the sun and take a refreshing dip in the Arabian Sea.

Last but not least, ensure you have a first aid kit and emergency contact numbers handy in case of any unforeseen circumstances. Although road trips are generally safe, it is always advisable to prepare for any medical emergencies or breakdowns that may arise during the journey.

Preparing Your Vehicle for the Journey

Your vehicle is your trusty companion on this road trip, so it’s essential to ensure it’s in top-notch condition before you hit the road. Take your car for a thorough check-up, including the engine, brakes, tires, and fluids. A well-maintained vehicle will not only enhance your driving experience but also minimize the risk of breakdowns and delays.

Keep a spare tire, jack, and other necessary tools in case of emergencies. Flat tires are a common occurrence on long road trips, and having the necessary equipment will save you from unnecessary stress and delays. Additionally, familiarize yourself with the process of changing a tire, as it might come in handy if you encounter any punctures along the way.

Also, make sure you have all the necessary documents like your driver’s license, vehicle insurance, and registration papers. It’s always better to have both physical and digital copies of these documents to avoid any legal hassles during the journey.

Finally, top up your fuel tank and get ready for an unforgettable adventure! Fill up your vehicle with enough fuel to cover the distance from Bangalore to Goa, as there might be stretches with limited fuel stations. It’s always better to be safe than sorry when it comes to fuel availability on long road trips.

With your vehicle in perfect condition and all the necessary preparations done, you’re now ready to hit the road and embark on an epic journey from Bangalore to Goa. Buckle up, turn up the music, and get ready to create memories that will last a lifetime!

Bangalore to Goa Road Trip Route

The road from Bangalore to Goa is not just a means to an end; it’s a journey in itself. Along the way, you will be enthralled by the captivating beauty of nature. The lush green landscapes and picturesque views will leave you spellbound. As you traverse through the winding roads, you’ll encounter several scenic stops that are worth exploring.

Scenic Stops Along the Way

One of the most mesmerizing stops on this route is Jog Falls. Located in Karnataka, Jog Falls is the second-highest plunge waterfall in India.

Continuing on your journey, you’ll come across the serene coastal town of Gokarna. Known for its stunning beaches and ancient temples, Gokarna is a hidden gem waiting to be explored.

Banglore to Goa Road Trip Conditions and Safety Tips

While road conditions are generally good, stay cautious and follow safety tips for a smooth journey. Keep an eye on the road signs and obey traffic rules. The route is well-maintained, but it’s essential to drive responsibly and be aware of other vehicles sharing the road.

Take breaks every few hours to stretch your legs and freshen up. There are several rest areas and roadside cafes along the way where you can relax and rejuvenate. Enjoy a cup of freshly brewed coffee or indulge in some local snacks to fuel your journey.

Avoid driving during the night as the visibility may be poor, especially in certain sections of the route. Plan your journey to reach your destination before nightfall for a smoother experience. Additionally, there are numerous hotels and resorts along the route that offer comfortable accommodations if you need to stop.

Stay updated with weather forecasts and be prepared for any sudden changes. The Western Ghats region is known for its unpredictable weather, and it’s essential to be cautious during the monsoon season when the roads might become slippery. Keep an emergency kit in your vehicle, including a flashlight, first aid supplies, and extra water and snacks.

Remember, safety should always be your top priority on a road trip. Enjoy the journey, but ensure that you and your fellow travelers are well-prepared and take necessary precautions. With the right mindset and a spirit of adventure, your road trip from Bangalore to Goa will be an unforgettable experience.
