Bangalore - One of the most happening cities in the country with unlimited options for shopping, dining, drinking, dancing and what not. Go to MG road or Brigade Road or Koramangala, you will get hundreds of option to kill your boredom. But if you are someone whose boredom cannot be killed by all these or you are someone who is 'bored of killing boredom' in these places then here are a few options near by Bangalore which might help you.
It has been a few years since I have been visiting places during weekends. Some were good, some average and some bad. Below is the list of the same. However, the opinion about the place is solely from my perspective and its left to the readers to consider it or not. :)
NOTE
- A few of the below provide a link to my blog (Colored Yellow below) with details of the place. Rest, I have either not written the blog or I have not yet visited but are in my bucket list.
- I have added places which are <300 Kms in distance from Bangalore. So I have ommitted places in Shimoga District, Mangalore, Hampi etc. (Will Come up with a detailed list of places in Karnataka Soon.. :) )
