Family’s Day Out
Trips and Weekend stays around Bangalore
1. Nrityagram: The Dance Village and
Taj K uteeram: A “cottage/boutique” Hotel
Our family loves this place. It is a cultural experience and
boutique hotel situated in the beautiful countryside of
Karnataka.
Nrityagram is directly across the street from the Taj Kuteeram
Hotel located at the dead end of a country road. Most of the
property surrounding this location is government agricultural
land. It is clean, sprawling, and inviting for long hikes through
farms, open grass land, and country roads. On each of our
visits we have taken different hikes.
One of our favorite hikes was around the Hessarghatta
Reservoir. A ten minute drive from Nrityagram. (Ask any
local how to reach the levy.) We hiked along the huge levy,
watched the village women wash their clothes and their
sheep. After about 2 kilometers we reached the end of
the levy where we discovered the old run down Bangalore
Yacht Club. We peered into the windows and could read the
records on the Yacht Club Racing Boards. Recorded were races
from the early 1900’s to about 1970’s. Before we knew it a
Watchman appeared and opened up the old rotting doors to
the Yacht club. My husband and I both commented that it
Nrityagram is open from 10 a.m.
to 5 p.m. Closed on Mondays.
