Bangalore might be known as the go-to city for a great career, but its topography also makes it a paradise for adventure junkies. Trekking, in particular, is the most popular weekend activity, given the plethora of surrounding hills. Further, the pleasant weather acts as a driving force to let you enjoy the captivating landscapes. Spending multiple hours climbing and walking through boulders improves strength and agility. Trekking can also reduce blood pressure and respiratory disorders, while offering a rejuvenating weekend getaway.
