Awesome compilation. Out of curiosity, have you visited all these places already?
I have visited many of these places. But plenty left to explore!
Also If you happened to have visited any of these/other places – Please do let me know how it was!. I can include in this list.
Great work done!
really helpful.
Suggestion to improvement: you can add your experience about places. Also put some extra remark as Must visit, visit, dont visit as per your experience.
Better if you can add hoe to reach column (bus, train etc).
Thanks
Good job done my dear, you really solve problem of most of the visitors.But I would suggest you to upload some photos also so that we could see real pictures to of places.
great job…really helpful for those searching for some places for a weekend getaway but dont know where to go…we can further explore more about the places thru google..thanks for compiling this list…cheers
Hi,
Awesome work done.
We had visited Billikal Rangaswamy betta last month and it was awesome too. Not sure if that is included in your list.
Nice and concise list. Keep up the great work.
We moved to Banglore few months ago and have been trying to explore places close by on the weekends. Your guide is really helpful. Nice Job!!
fine and precise.
