If you’ve been staring at screens for too long and crave fresh air, Rocky Ridge Farm — just 70 km from Bangalore — is your reset button. Nestled near Panchapalli Dam, this experience is built for nature lovers, birders, and anyone longing for silence beyond city buzz.

Depart Bangalore around 6 PM to reach the farm - about 1.5 hrs drive/ride. In case you need transport you can avail car pool starting from Electronic City. Settle in with welcome snacks and pitch your tents, all fully provided with bedding and private washrooms. Head out on an easy walk around the farm, before returning to camp for a slow evening — DIY pizza, barbecue, a crackling bonfire, and conversations under a star-laden sky.

Wake early for a guided sunrise birding walk through orchards and tree lines — spot kingfishers, drongos, parakeets, bulbuls, and many others that thrive here. For details of what you can spot checkout  https://ebird.org/hotspot/L46875719?yr=cur . 

After breakfast, take time to wander the orchards or simply sit beneath a tree before heading back to Bangalore, lighter and refreshed.

Optional cottages are available for those who prefer beds to tents. This is an easy, friends-friendly nature immersion designed to recharge worn-out minds and rekindle curiosity for the wild, especially if you are looking to get some fresh air after days of WFH.
