Around Bangalore

GenuineOptimist

In an 800 kms radius around Bangalore what are the places that can be visited in late July and August? I want to avoid Monsoons and especially the hills in the monsoons because of landslides etc..

There is a distance constraint because I want to drive in my car. I want to visit Pondichery, Cochin-alleppey-munnar, hampi-badami, madurai-trichendur, ooty-bandipur and goa-karwar. No Coorg, Mysore because I've already visited these.

But ooty-bandipur, cochin-alleppey-munnar, goa-karwar is ruled out because of rains. Pondichery and madurai-trichendur I heard will be hot? Hows Hampi-Badami this time?

other than these places, are there any that can be visited in late july, august with the distance constraint?

Hampi, top of the list. Outside peak summer, it is ok.

800km is a lot. That would cover Hyderabad and Warrangal too.

Bandipur/Ooty/Conoor/Kotagiri is a good idea. I prefer the areas after Ooty. Not landslide prone, to the best of my knowledge. If heavy rain, be alert if taking the shorter route Bandipur/Ooty (the one with 32? hairpin bends) and avoid doing it withou an experienced hill driver.

The other route is ok.
