Perfect 3-Day Chikmagalur Getaway - Bandaje Trek | June 27-29 | ₹5699

About this trip
Ironically, the busiest times at work often spark the quietest dreams—
…the ones where you’re breathing in forest air instead of traffic fumes.

That’s exactly how we ended up chasing a whisper from the Western Ghats — the Bandaje Trek. Ancient fort ruins, misty ridge walks, and a waterfall that feels like a mountain’s secret.

Why join this experience?
If you live in Bangalore, you know the routine. Screens, traffic, repeat.
Maybe you’ve done Chikmagalur or Coorg before. Safe choices. But this time? We craved something raw. Untouched. Where silence feels sacred, not awkward.

That’s how we found Bandaje.
A place where clouds kiss cliffs, where forts crumble with stories, and where waterfalls fall into nothingness.

Why Bandaje?
Because it’s not built for tourists.
It’s for people who seek something deeper.

You don’t visit Bandaje to “see” it.
You go there to feel — the silence, the stories, the shift in yourself.

What makes this special?
We weren’t looking for a trek. We were looking for a reset.
So we let Banjara & Gypsy Travels handle the chaos — and what we got was stillness.
