Places to visit near Bangalore in November
November suits 30 of the places we plan, from Mysore (about 145 to 150 km) to Kanyakumari (about 665 km by road from Bengaluru). Here is what each month means for your plan, and the places to consider.
November in South India
November is pleasant in most of South India. Wildlife season starts at Kabini and Bandipur, the Kerala backwaters are calm, and the hills are clear after the rains.
The north-east monsoon still brings rain to the Tamil Nadu coast, so allow flexibility for Chennai, Pondicherry and Mahabalipuram. Diwali can fall in October or November, depending on the year.
With only two or three days, the nearest options in November are Mysore, Yercaud, Kabini and Bandipur. Longer trips go farther, as the table shows.
