Places to visit near bangalore
Mysore
Genteel Mysore runs on sandalwood, silk and royal pageantry: a palace that lights up with 100,000 bulbs, the hilltop Chamundi temple, and a Dasara festival that still parades elephants. The grandest palace in the south, and the home of Ashtanga yoga.
~130 km as the crow flies
Ooty & Coonoor
The twin Nilgiri hill stations of Ooty and Coonoor run on tea, eucalyptus air and faded English charm, linked by a UNESCO toy train that creaks up through the clouds. Botanical gardens, lakes and viewpoints in the classic sweater-weather escape of the south.
~200 km as the crow flies
Tirumala
Up on the Seven Hills of Tirumala stands the temple of Venkateswara, the most-visited shrine in the world, where pilgrims queue for a moment's darshan and offer their hair in thanks. Devotion at a scale found nowhere else.

Isha Yoga Center
At the foot of the Velliangiri hills near Coimbatore, a place engineered for stillness: the consecrated Dhyanalinga and the towering 112-foot Adiyogi, Sadhguru's steel face of yoga. Meditation, yoga programs, and one of the largest sculptures on earth.

Auroville
A living experiment in conscious community near Puducherry, born of one ideal: human unity beyond nation and creed. At its heart, the golden Matrimandir and forests grown from bare red earth: one of the world's most unusual towns.
~260 km as the crow flies
Hampi
The ghost capital of the Vijayanagara empire, strewn across a boulder moonscape on the Tungabhadra: temples, bazaars and a famous stone chariot left mid-sentence five centuries ago. One of India's most spectacular ruins, with boulder-top sunsets over the whole vanished city.
