Linger’s Second Campsite near Bangalore is live!!

We just kickstarted our second overnight camping option at the Alphonso By The Lake Farm, a 60 acre mango farm with a large wooded section (where the campsite is) near Nachikuppam. There are hills – state reserve forests – on 2 sides, a huge lake and lots to explore.

This is a little before Krishnagiri – about 75km from Bangalore via the Bagalur-Berigai-Krishnagiri road. It’s even with cycling distance over a weekend!

We can host about 20 people, with some flexibility. The usual Linger experience promised, of course.

Doing nothing on the Saddle

One of the most amazing ways to spend pleasant, lazy mornings is pretty places is on a bicycle. It keeps the peace, its healthy and helps you breathe in the clean air, it works up an appetite and you get to see a lot more of the place, up close – especially on the smaller trails off the roads. Its also a lovely way to spend some time with your own thoughts, catch up with the local sights, sounds, people and get a good endorphin rush first up in the morning.

Linger destinations are a dream come true for bikers, and we encourage all our guests to do short rides, at least. Chettimani is in an undisturbed area with tarmac, off-roads, and then there’s the Talacauvery climb to challenge most. Balur Estate has 26 kms of jeep roads inside the estate itself – and there’s 2 lakes to find, lots of hills to climb. Both places also offer excellent routes and roads to go do long rides if thats your thing. Our places have bikes now – MTBs – and we’ll be a adding a few more.

If you plan to take your own bikes there for some serious riding, you’ll surely have a lot of fun there. Do let us know if you need to borrow a bike rack. There’s a pump there so you’re all set!

Get on that saddle and ride!
