Adiyogi & Lepakshi Temple One Day Trip from Bangalore
Trip snapshot
Trek overview
If you’re craving a quick escape from Bangalore that feeds both your soul and your curiosity, this one’s got your name written all over it.
We kick things off early, chasing the calm before the city wakes up, as we head towards the towering Adiyogi Shiva statue. Standing tall at 112 feet, this isn’t just a stop — it’s an experience. Surrounded by greenery and silence, it’s the kind of place where you pause, breathe, and just be. Whether you meditate, reflect, or simply soak it all in — the vibe here hits different.
Once we’ve soaked in all that peaceful energy, we hit the road again towards Lepakshi — where history, art, and mystery come alive.
The Lepakshi Temple isn’t just another temple — it’s a masterpiece from the 16th century. Intricate carvings, vibrant murals, and stories hidden in every corner. From the massive monolithic Nandi statue to the famous hanging pillar that continues to puzzle architects even today, every detail here has a story to tell.
It’s the kind of day where you move from stillness to wonder, from silence to stories.
And by the end of it? You don’t just come back with photos — you come back with a feeling 🤍

No alcohol or smoking
For everyone’s safety and enjoyment, please don’t consume alcohol, intoxicants, or smoke at any point during the journey or trek.
Dinner before boarding
Kindly complete your dinner before you board the bus.
Travel arrangements
We’ll arrange transportation based on our group size. If there are 12 or fewer of us, we’ll use a tempo traveler. For groups of 13 or more, it’ll be a mini-bus. Both options are non-AC and have push-back seats for your comfort. We appreciate your understanding regarding our travel logistics.
"Without Travel" option
If you prefer to arrange your own transportation to the destination (the homestay), be sure to book the “Without Travel” option when you sign up. Please note: If you select this, you’ll need a private car for your entire trip. Public transport won’t work, as our Day 2 activities begin directly from the homestay and require continuous private car access to ensure you can fully participate in all planned activities.
Embrace the outdoors
Our trips are about getting out into nature, often in remote locations. Please don’t expect luxury accommodations; we focus on providing comfortable basic facilities.
Food provided
We’ll provide basic, vegetarian meals. We do not serve non-vegetarian food.
