Resorts near Bangalore India
I hope you enjoyed reading about yesterday's resorts. Today we talk about Bangalore, India and resorts around that city (which I'm told is no good for tourists).
This article about Bangalore and places around there mentions a yoga resort. Shreyas is 1.5 hours from Bangalore (but only 22 miles) and it sounds like the author really liked it. This place starts at 200/night. I like yoga so this one goes on my list.
Kapila is a wilderness retreat on the edge of Nagarhole National Park, about a five-hour drive southwest of Bangalore. The author appreciates what they do for the surrounding community, but didn't like paying for extras such as bottled water and excursions into the wilderness. Considering kayaking or a safari runs about $11.00 while rooms start at 120.00/night (only 8 rooms by the way) this place is probably less expensive than the yoga place anyway. I like nature treks, so this one also goes on my list.
