    Need a break from the crazy city traffic, the maddening crowds, and not-to-mention, another week at your desk job?

    Don't worry, there are plenty of amazing destinations you can check out in close proximity to the Silicon Valley of India.

    Here are top five short weekend getaways (within 300kms) from Bengaluru.

    #1

    Ooty

    Located 270kms from Bengaluru, Ooty has misty hills, sprawling tea estates, and panoramic views, all of which has earned it the moniker, 'Queen of Hills'.

    Ooty offers delightful weather, and has several attractions like the Ooty Botanical Gardens, Dolphin's Nose, Doddabetta Peak etc.

    You can also enjoy a picnic by the Pykara Lake, or take a ride on the UNESCO World-Heritage Nilgiri Mountain Railway.

    Coorg

    Just 263kms away from the bustling city of Bengaluru, lies the beautiful, laid-back town of Coorg, nestled among the Western Ghats.

    When in Coorg, visit the Namdroling Monastery and the Golden Temple. Also, don't miss out on Abbey Falls, Dubare Elephant Camp and the famous Nagarhole National Park.

    Elephant rides and adrenaline-pumping adventure sports are among tourists' favorite activities in Coorg.

    Mysuru

    Located just 150kms away from Bengaluru and accessible via NH-275, Mysuru, the royal city of Karnataka, is the perfect weekend escape for nature lovers, and heritage and culture enthusiasts alike.
