Itinerary

DAY TRIP: BANGALORE – MEKEDATU – ART OF LIVING (APPROX. 200 KM ROUND TRIP)

Your journey begins early with a 6:30 AM pickup from your hotel, residence, bus stand, or railway station in Bangalore. Drive approximately 99 km (around 3 hours) through scenic countryside to reach Mekedatu, a beautiful gorge where the Cauvery and Arkavathi Rivers meet. Spend your morning enjoying the natural surroundings and shallow river waters (carry extra clothes and footwear). There are no restaurants nearby, so it’s advisable to carry packed food and water. After relaxing and exploring the riverbank, return towards Bangalore and stop at the Art of Living International Centre, founded by Sri Sri Ravi Shankar in 1981, known for its serene environment and spiritual programs. After the visit, continue your journey back to Bangalore, where you will be dropped off at your residence, airport, bus terminus, or railway station by evening.
