Step away from the city and into a soul-refreshing monsoon retreat

About this activity

This one-day escape from Bangalore brings together the thrill of an early morning trek to the majestic Gudibande Fort, with its sweeping sunrise views, and the calm of a serene, private lakeside setting.

Spend your afternoon surrounded by nature, indulging in home-cooked meals, slow conversations, mindful activities, and the soothing rhythm of rain, breeze, and open skies.

Whether you’re looking for peace, connection, or just a break from the noise, Monsoon Picnic offers a day of simple, soulful joy.

Come solo or bring your people. This isn’t just an event—it’s a gathering of kindred spirits. Expect heartfelt stories, shared silences, laughter, nature, and food made with love. Let the wind carry your thoughts, the trees listen in, and the earth hold your steps.

This isn’t just a day out—it’s a gentle nudge back to what feels real.
