Anyone here ever just get tired of Bangalore and randomly think “I should disappear to Rishikesh for a week before I lose my mind”?

Because that’s pretty much where I’m at.

Been thinking of going for 6-7 days sometime soon. Wake up early, do yoga properly for once, walk around, sit by the Ganga, maybe read a book without checking my phone every 4 minutes like a lab rat trained by notifications.

Not looking for a luxury trip or some fake Eat Pray Love transformation. Just need a reset honestly.

Thinking Tapovan side maybe. Yoga classes in the morning, explore the place during the day, maybe rafting if I become temporarily fearless.

Curious if:
- anyone from Bangalore has done this recently
- any recommendations for stays/yoga schools that aren’t scammy influencer factories
- or if someone else has been thinking about doing something similar

Half the city seems either burned out, pretending not to be burned out, or posting “gratitude” stories while dying internally, so I figured I’d ask here.

Hey folks,

Wanted to check interest in a small hosted social format for people 30+ in Bangalore.

The idea is a relaxed evening near Bannerghatta / Bannerghatta National Park with a small group, good food, music, poolside setting, and space for actual conversations.

A lot of social options in Bangalore feel a bit repetitive: crowded pubs, loud places where nobody really talks, or meetups that are too random to build any real connection. I'm curious if people here would be interested in something more intentional and better hosted.

Rough format:

- Around 20 people

- Mostly 30+

- Private farmhouse-style setting near Bannerghatta

- Food and music

- Poolside atmosphere

- Light hosting so people can mix naturally

- Clear house rules

- No random walk-ins

- Respectful, relaxed crowd

The kind of crowd I have in mind: working professionals, founders, operators, creatives, people new to Bangalore, or anyone who wants to meet interesting people in a calmer setting than the usual pub scene.

Not posting this as a final event invite yet. Just checking whether this format sounds interesting to people here before locking anything in.

Would you attend something like this if the crowd, location, safety, and logistics were handled properly?

Also curious what matters most to you before attending: crowd quality, safety, location, food, music, transport, price, or group size?
