Chikmagalur Backpacking Trip

Imagine this: as you shut your laptop down for the weekend and Bangalore's city lights fade into the rearview, replaced by the hum of highway wheels, upbeat music pulsing through the speakers, and laughter echoing from travel games, you feel a wave of happiness sweep you which you haven’t felt in a long time. This isn't just any ride but the thrilling launch of your Chikmagalur trip from Bangalore, a 2-day trip to Chikmagalur from Bangalore that whisks you into the emerald embrace of the Western Ghats
